Ingredients You’ll Need

(Full measurements in the recipe card below)

DRY

  • • 1 cup maida — base structure
  • • 3 tbsp cocoa powder — chocolate flavour
  • • 1/2 tsp baking soda — rise agent
  • • 1/2 tsp baking powder — extra lift
  • • pinch of salt — enhances taste

WET

  • • 3/4 cup condensed milk — sweetener and binder
  • • 3/4 cup unsalted butter — moisture and richness
  • • 3/4 cup drinking soda — replaces eggs for fluffiness
  • • 1/2 tsp vanilla essence — adds aroma

Substitutions

Ingredient Swap
unsalted butter melted coconut oil
maida gluten free flour blend
condensed milk coconut condensed milk
⚠️ Add drinking soda last and fold gently do not overmix or you will lose the fizz that gives the cake its lift

How to Make It — Step by Step

1

Prep

Preheat oven to 180C and grease your cake tin with butter

2

Mix Dry

Sift maida, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder and salt together in a bowl

3

Mix Wet

Whisk melted butter and condensed milk until smooth, then stir in vanilla essence

4

Combine

Fold dry ingredients into wet mixture, then gently pour in drinking soda and fold until just combined

5

Bake

Pour batter into tin and bake for 30 to 35 minutes until a skewer inserted in the centre comes out clean

Tips for the Best Result

Use Chilled Soda

Make sure your drinking soda is fresh and chilled right before you add it to the batter. Flat soda will not give you the lift you need for a fluffy eggless sponge.

Do Not Overmix

Once you add the soda, fold the batter gently and quickly. Overmixing will release the bubbles that help the cake rise without eggs.

Room Temperature Butter

Use butter that is soft and at room temperature so it creams smoothly with the condensed milk and gives you an even, lump-free batter.

How to Store

🧺

Room Temp
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days in a cool, dry place.
❄️

Refrigerator
Wrap the cake well and refrigerate for up to 5 days, bringing it to room temperature before serving.
🧊

Freezer
Slice, wrap each piece in cling film, and freeze for up to 1 month, then thaw at room temperature.

Frequently Asked Questions

QCan I use sparkling water instead of drinking soda?

Yes, plain sparkling water works as a substitute and will still give the cake a good rise.

QIs this cake truly gluten free?

This recipe uses maida which is not gluten free. Swap it with a certified gluten free flour blend to make it gluten free.

QCan I use salted butter instead of unsalted?

You can, but skip the pinch of salt in the recipe to avoid the cake turning out too salty.

QWhy did my cake not rise properly?

The soda was likely flat or the batter was overmixed. Always use fresh soda and fold it in gently just before baking.
