I love simple cakes. Cakes without icing and fancy ingredients appeal me more. I keep experimenting with eggless cakes, as you can see many eggless cake/muffin recipes on my blog. And in the term of getting perfect texture in an eggless cake this recipe always wins. It’s a delicious Coffee Cake, which can be made with the pantry staples. The best part; flavour of Coffee+Chocolate, who doesn’t love it! Give this Chocolate Chip Coffee Cake a try on the next weekend and thank me later. 🙂
Eggless Chocolate Chip Coffee Cake
This Chocolate Chip Coffee Cake is loaded with the flavour of coffee and taste of chocolate. Easy to make, get the taste of both the world in one cake.
Ingredients
- 1 cup- All-purpose flour/Maida
- ½ cup- Caster sugar/White or Brown powdered sugar
- ¼ tsp- Salt
- ¼ cup- Yogurt
- ¼ tsp- Baking powder
- ½ tsp- Baking soda
- ¼ cup- Vegetable oil/Olive oil
- 1 tsp- Vanilla extract
- 6 tbsp- Milk
- 2 tbsp+more- Chocolate chips
- 1 tbsp- Instant coffee powder
Instructions
-
Prepare a 6” round cake pan or loaf pan by greasing with oil and place a piece of baking paper at the bottom of the pan.
-
In a bowl mix all-purpose flour and salt, keep aside. Mix the coffee powder with warm milk and keep aside.
-
In a separate bowl mix yogurt, sugar, baking powder, and baking soda. Wait for 2-3 minutes. The mixture will become little frothy, now mix in oil and vanilla extract.
-
Add the flour mixture into this in 2 batches, keep whisking.
-
Add milk+coffee mixture, whisk well to form a lump-free batter.
-
Add chocolate chips into this, fold in gently.
-
Preheat the oven to 180 degrees C. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan. Smooth the top with the help of a spatula.
-
Sprinkle some chocolate chips on top. Tap the cake pan gently on kitchen counter couple of times to release the air bubbles.
-
Bake for 25-30 minutes. After 25 minutes insert a skewer in the middle of the cake. The cake is ready if the skewer comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs. If not, bake for some more time, and then check again. Mine was ready in 28 minutes.
-
Cool the cake in the pan for 5 minutes and then run a sharp knife around the edges of the pan and carefully remove the cake. Turn onto a cooling rack and leave there until cool completely.
-
When cooled slice, serve and enjoy with your cuppa!
Recipe Notes
- This recipe can easily be doubled as per your need.
- Keep rest of the cake slices refrigerated and consume within 4-5 days.
I wish I could just grab a slice of it! 🙂

Hi Chandrima ,
In almost all the cake recipes here , you have used Instant coffee powder , is it mandatory ? I generally make cakes for my little one , so not sure about the usage
Thanks
Monalisa

Very good recipe without using eggs.l tried it last Sunnday and the result was a grand success. Thanks a lot for such a good recipe
Hi Purabi! Glad to know that you liked it. Happy Baking! 🙂
Can I use butter instead of oil? If yes, then in what quantity?
Hi Bhawna! Use melted butter in the same quantity as mentioned for oil.
Hi, if I wish to Make it with egg? 2 egg is sufficient? Please let me know..
Hi Suparna! I’ve not tried this recipe with eggs yet.
Hi,
I want to do the same cake. But I dont have oven to bake. Kindly advice me
Love this cake….BTW awesome photography..
Hi Shubha! Thank you for your kind words. 🙂

Hi Chandrima, the cake look absolutely delicious. Would you be able to advise on a gluten free version of it. Would be most helpful. Thanks a lot.
Hi Snigdha, I’ll try to post a gluten free version of it soon. 🙂 In between you can check this recipe, it’s gluten free http://notoutofthebox.in/2017/11/the-arte-collections-breakfast-table-setup/
Thanks Chandrima, much appreciated.
Looking forward to it.
Hi Chandra, firstly I wanted to say I love your blogs and secondly I love the recipes, especially dessert recipes. I have tried quite a few of these recipes and loved all of them. I love your chocolate chip and walnut cake recipe. I was wondering if I can make it eggless the same way as in this recipe. Thanks.
Hi Rhea, Glad to know that my recipes worked well with you. You can substitute 1 egg with 1/4 cup of yogurt + 1/4 tsp of baking soda in that recipe. Hope this will help.
I made this cake for my mom on mothers day.It turned out to be AMAZING!!
My mom loved it she said it is the perfect kinda cake to eat with coffee.I LOVED it too.
I think everyone should really try it out
Hi Vanshika, I’m so glad to hear that. Happy Baking! 🙂
Can i make this recipe with whole wheat flour instean maida?
Hi Nidhi, Whole wheat flour might make the cake dense, as its eggless. You can try baking one with flour and atta in a 50:50 ratio.
Can I use the same recipe to make coffee walnut cake in place of chocolate chip? If yes then should I increase quantity of sugar?
Hi Pallavi,
Yes, you can do that and no need to increase the amount of sugar in the recipe.
Can I use whole wheat flour instead of all purpose flour
Hi Prabhdeep, I’d suggest go for a 50:50 ratio for maida and atta. The texture of the cake might vary if you use whole wheat flour completely.
Tried the recipe and turned out very well..
Thanks
Hello the recipe states 2 Tbsp of chocolate chips….is that correct? From the photos it looks like more was used. Please clarify.
Hi Jane,
2 tbsp to add into the cake batter, more to sprinkle on the top before baking, that is as per your liking.
Wow. It looks delicious. I love coffee cake. So, I will try to make it. Your recipe will help me. Thanks for sharing.
Hi, Chandrima.
I baked this for a friend’s birthday – used a 6 inch round pan and baked at 160 degrees Celsius (fan-forced oven). The cake was moist and not too sweet, and tasted even better the next day out of the fridge. Thank you so much for such an easy, delicious recipe.
Hi Bella, I’m glad to hear that the recipe worked well, Thank you for sharing your experience with me, Happy Baking! 🙂
Thanks Chandrima…👍👍…your recipe came out excellently..⭐⭐…can I use wheat flour instead of white flour….will it come out well…what do you suggest…
Hi Sudeshna,
Yes, you can use wheat flour for this recipe, should work.
