🍫 1 Egg Chocolate Cake (No Oven)

Introduction

Sometimes all you need is a simple, moist, chocolatey cake to brighten up the day. This 1 Egg Chocolate Cake is perfect for those moments—it requires minimal ingredients, no complicated steps, and best of all, no oven! Made with just one egg, cocoa, and a handful of pantry staples, this recipe creates a soft, spongy, and rich cake that can be cooked on the stovetop in under 30 minutes. Whether you’re a beginner baker, a student in a dorm, or simply craving cake without the hassle of preheating the oven, this recipe is your sweet rescue.

Ingredients

1 large egg
1/3 cup sugar (add gradually for best results)
1/4 cup oil (vegetable or sunflower works best)
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
A handful of chocolate chips (for topping)

Instructions

In a clean mixing bowl, crack the egg and start beating with a whisk or electric hand mixer.
Gradually add the sugar, little by little, while continuing to whisk. Beat until the mixture turns pale, thick, and forms soft stiff peaks.
Add the oil and beat again for about 1 minute until fully combined.
Sift in the flour, cocoa powder, and baking powder. This ensures no lumps and keeps the cake light.
Pour in the vanilla extract and gently fold the mixture using a spatula until smooth and lump-free.
Grease a 5-inch round cake mould with oil or butter, then pour the batter inside.
Sprinkle the chocolate chips on top for extra richness.
Preheat a heavy-bottom pan with a lid on medium flame for 5 minutes (this creates an oven-like effect).
Place the cake mould inside, cover with the lid, and cook on low flame for 20–30 minutes.
- Alternatively, you may bake in a preheated oven at 160°C (320°F) for 20–30 minutes.
Once done, let it cool slightly, slice, and enjoy your soft, fudgy chocolate cake.

Methods

Whisking Method: Beating the egg with sugar until fluffy ensures the cake rises well without the need for many eggs.
Stovetop Cooking Method: Cooking in a heavy pan with a lid traps heat, mimicking an oven.
Folding Method: Carefully folding the dry ingredients into the wet mixture keeps air bubbles intact, making the cake spongy.

History

The idea of making cakes without an oven has roots in traditional cooking methods across Asia, Africa, and the Middle East, where stovetop or steamed desserts were common before ovens were widely available. This specific recipe is a modern take, popularized in online communities for its simplicity—especially during times when ovens are not accessible, like small apartments, dorms, or camping trips.

Formation

Texture: Light, airy, and moist thanks to the whisked egg.
Flavor: Rich cocoa taste balanced with a subtle vanilla aroma.
Appearance: A petite, 5-inch chocolate cake topped with melted chocolate chips.
