Have you ever encountered a chocolate cake recipe that used neither eggs nor butter, but relied on vinegar and baking soda for leavening? Apparently, the recipe has been around for ages. We first discovered a version of it in a magazine called Cuisine at Home, but you can find other versions at Epicurious and other places online.
The thing about this cake recipe is not only is it incredibly easy to make, with ingredients that you likely already have in your pantry, but it produces a surprisingly moist and delicious cake (and cupcakes). All without eggs or butter. (There’s butter in the frosting I’m using, but we’re talking about the cake.) I even tried adding an egg to the recipe and it wasn’t nearly as good as the batch without it.
Over the last week I’ve made several batches of cupcakes following this method, including a couple for my mom’s book club. (Waving hi to mom’s friends!) I used a frosting recipe from Hershey’s, and instead of loading the cupcakes with frosting, decided instead to just simply drizzle frosting in patterns on the top. But do what you will with the frosting. I think the cupcakes are perfectly delicious without any frosting at all.

Super Easy, Super Moist Chocolate Cupcakes Recipe
Prep time: 10 minutesCook time: 20 minutesYield: Makes 12 cupcakes.
The coffee (and the salt) help intensify the flavor of the chocolate. If you don't have or don't want to use coffee, just skip it and use water instead. If you do use coffee, just use what would be considered regular strength coffee (or slightly weak coffee) in America, not something super concentrated like espresso. If caffeine is an issue, use decaf. If you want to make a cake instead of cupcakes, double the recipe and use two 8-inch round cake pans and cook for 35-40 minutes.

INGREDIENTS
Cupcakes:
1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup brewed coffee (or 1 cup of warm water mixed with 1 1/2 teaspoons of espresso powder or instant coffee granules)
1 Tbsp white vinegar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
6 Tbsp (1/4 cup plus 2 Tbsp) olive oil
Frosting:
4 Tbsp butter
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 1/2 cup powdered sugar
3 tablespoons milk
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
METHOD
Cupcakes:
1 Preheat oven to 350°F with a rack in the middle position. Prepare a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
2 In a large bowl, vigorously whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking soda, and salt until there are no visible clumps (cocoa tends to clump up).
3 In a separate bowl, mix together the coffee (or water plus coffee granules), vinegar, vanilla extract, and olive oil.
4 Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir only until they just come together. The mixture should be thin and rather lumpy.
5 Ladle the batter into the cupcake liners, filling them about two-thirds of the way full. Place in oven and bake for 18 to 20 minutes, until a bamboo skewer inserted in the center comes out clean.
6 Remove from oven and let cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then remove from pan and let cool on a rack. Once cool, you can eat plain, sprinkle with powdered sugar, or drizzle or coat with frosting.
Frosting:
While the cupcakes are cooking, make the frosting. Melt butter in a small saucepan and remove from heat. Stir in the cocoa until smooth. Sprinkle in about a third of the powdered sugar, stir, then sprinkle in about a half of the milk. Keep alternating with the powdered sugar and either milk or vanilla, stirring after each addition, until the frosting is the consistency you want, and smooth. If it's too runny, add more powdered sugar. If too stiff, add a little more milk or vanilla extract.
To pipe in a decorative pattern, scoop the frosting into the corner of a ziplock freezer bag. Use scissors to cut away 1/4-inch or so from the tip of the corner. Then just squeeze the frosting out of the bag onto the cupcakes in any design you like.
Ingredients

Flour - 1 3/4 cups (maida)
Sugar - 2 cups (I used 1 3/4 cups)
Cocoa powder - 3/4 cup
Baking soda - 2 tsps (I used 1 1/2 tsps)
Baking powder - 1 tsp (I used 1 1/2 tsps)
Salt - 1 tsp
Buttermilk - 1 cup
Vegetable oil - 1/2 cup
Extra large eggs - 2 (I used large eggs)
Vanilla extract - 1 tsp
Instant Coffee Powder - 2 tbsps (I used 2 1/2 tbsps of Nescafe Indian brand )
Hot boiling water - 1 cup (add instant coffee powder to the water and mix)
For ganache:
Fresh cream - 200 ml
Dark chocolate - 400 gms (grated)
Method

Preheat the oven to 176 C or 350 F. Grease two 9" round round cake pans. Line with parchment paper at the bottom, grease and dust lightly over the parchment paper.
Sift the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder and salt.
In a bowl, add sugar and the sifted flour mixture and mix well.
In another bowl, add the buttermilk, oil, eggs, and vanilla extract and whisk well. Add these wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and on low speed, mix well. Add the hot coffee mixture and continue to mix on low speed till combined. Do not over mix. Scrape the bottom of the bowl and the sides of the bowl and mix well with a spatula.
Pour the batter into the prepared pans and bake for 35 to 40 mts or till a skewer inserted in the middle of the cake comes out clean.
Cool the cake in the pans for 30 mts and then overturn them onto a cooling rack and cool completely.
While the cake is cooling prepare the ganache. In a stainless steel bowl, add the fresh cream and place on low flame. As bubbles appear along the edges, turn off flame and pour over the grated chocolate. Leave aside for 3 mts. After 3 mts, mix well such that the chocolate completely melts and blends well with the cream.
If the cakes have a dome, slice off the top layer of the dome to achieve a flat cake top. Spread a little ganache in the center of the cake board. Place one cake layer on cake board and place this on a turntable. Using an offset spatula spread a thick layer of ganache all over and place another cake layer with the flat side up on top of it. Spread ganache all over the cake and on the sides. Use a scraper to give a smooth finish all over. Allow to set for half an hour.
To make the remaining ganache of pouring consistency, heat some more fresh cream and add to the ganache and mix well. It should be of pouring consistency. Pour it all over the cake and allow to drip along the sides. You can further garnish with chocolate shards or curls or as you fancy.
