Chocolate walnut cake
Want to make some thing special yet healthy for this valentine day. Here comes egg free, gluten free, butter free, dark chocolate protein cake recipe. Yes it’s full of goodness and can have it without guilt. This protein loaf cake is high in protein, low in fat and yes it’s vegan. Have you seen my slurping no bake chocolate protein bar recipe, eggless chocolate chips cookies and vanilla cake in a minute. It ‘s really delectable.
There are some other eggless recipes available on my blog.
- Eggless blueberry muffins

In this recipe, I have replaced eggs with chickpea brine. Chickpea brine is nothing but aquafaba which generally refers to the liquid in a can of chickpeas, and is a revolutionary new vegan egg replacer. For this chocolate walnut cake, you don’t even need to beat the liquid. Just add it straight.
I have used Greek yogurt that makes cakes really moist. I love that texture. This chocolate walnut cake is rich, decadent, moist and staunchly chocolaty. You can replace Greek yogurt either with vegan yogurt or with apple sauce to make it.
Also used pitted dates and honey as sweetener in this recipe. You can go with any sweetener which you prefer.
To make it more in nutritious I have used pumpkin and sunflower seed mix and walnuts.
Let’s come to the recipe.

Consistency should be lumpy and thick. 11) Pour half of the batter into the prepared loaf tin. Place chocolate chunks. Now cover the chocolate chunks by pouring the rest of batter. Even the top. 12) Bake it at 200 celsius for 5 minutes and then bake it for 25 minutes at 75 degree celsius until risen, and a skewer inserted in the centre comes out clean. 13) Remove and cool on a wire rack before turning out. 14) Cut the delicious protein cake into slices with ice cream or a cup of tea. serving_size 136 calories 125 carbohydrates 16.8 protein 8.8 fat 3.2 cholesterol 19 sodium 81 potassium 278
Shubha says
looks very delicious!! I had one question.. Can i use a plant based protein powder in this recipe??
rachnaskitchen says
Thankyou very much dear. Yes you can use any protein powder you like.
Catie says
This looks great! I am excited to make it, but will this recipe work if I do use eggs? If so, do you know how many eggs I could use? 2 eggs?
rachnaskitchen says
Hi Catie,
You can use eggs in this recipe which would increase the protein content too. To replace eggs I have used chickpea brine (aquafaba) so skip that and use 2 eggs. See how the cake comes out. Wish you luck.
Thanks
Natalie says
How much water do you add to the dates?
Also, how many grams is 3 scoops of protein powder? Thanks!
rachnaskitchen says
Hi Natalie,
I have added 1/4 US cup of water to grind dates and 90 grams of protein powder.
Thanks

Hi any substitute for chickpea brine …
rachnaskitchen says
Eggs are substitute for brine.
Dia says
Pls share chick pea brine recipe or any other egg substitute .thanks
Dia says
Can I use flax seed for egg substitute .
rachnaskitchen says
Hello Dia,
Sorry for late reply. Yes you can use flax seeds by soaking 2 tablespoon of flax seeds in half a cup of water. Also you can substitute brine with apple sauce, yogurt , banana etc. I have used these fruits in baking to replace eggs successfully.
Dia says
Thanks a lot ..I would love to try with apple sauce pls help with the quantity
rachnaskitchen says
Just use 5 tablespoons of applesauce in place of brine.
Dia says
With Apple sauce we need to put yogurt becoz it’s mentiond in your recipe .thanks In advance
