Ingredients at Substitutions
You only need 5 ingredients to make this easy cake.
- Harinang Kusang Tumataas – If you don’t have self-rising flour, mix all-purpose flour with baking powder (1½ teaspoons per cup). For a gluten-free version, use a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend or combine 75% gluten-free flour with 25% almond flour for better structure.
- Asukal – Any granulated sugar works. For a refined sugar-free option, use coconut sugar or light muscovado sugar for a deeper flavor.
- Unsweetened kakaw pulbos – Stick with unsweetened cocoa powder for the best chocolate flavor. Dutch-processed cocoa will yield a richer taste, while natural cocoa will be lighter and slightly acidic.
- Banayad na Langis ng Oliba – Use any neutral oil such as grapeseed, canola, or sunflower oil. Avoid coconut oil unless melted and the milk is at room temperature to prevent lumps.
- Almond Milk or Water – Use unsweetened plant-based milk for a richer cake, or water for a lighter texture. Other options like soy or oat milk work just as well.

- Frosting ng Kasoy – Ang mas masustansyang frosting na ito ay ginawa nang walang kasoy para sa masarap na timpla.
- Vegan Royal Icing – Ang aking royal icing ay isang magandang opsyon para sa isang medyo mas makapal na dekorasyon.
Mga Tip sa Pagbe-bake ni Carine
Here are a few more tips to make the best cake.
- Kahit Baking – For an even rise, tap the pan on the counter to release air bubbles before baking.
- Cake Size Options – For cupcakes, bake them at 350°F (180°C) for 18-20 minutes.
- Pagandahin ang Lasa – Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract or a pinch of espresso powder to deepen the chocolate flavor.
- Moisture Boost – Stir in 2-3 tablespoons of applesauce or mashed banana to make the cake extra moist.
- Layer Cake Tips – If making a layered cake, freeze the layers for 30 minutes before assembling to prevent crumbs.
- Panatilihin itong Sariwa – Store the cooled cake in plastic wrap or an airtight container to maintain moisture.
- Pagkakaiba-iba ng lasa – Add chopped nuts, chocolate chips, or dried fruit into the batter for texture.
- Gluten-Free Version – Increase the baking time slightly if using gluten-free flour, as it might take longer to set.
is there a whole wheat flour self rising recipe? Or a chickpea flour self rising recipe that can be used in this?
No, but you can make your own wholewheat self-rising flour by stirring 2 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder per cup of wholewheat flour. However, the recipe will be dryer, denser with wholewheat. Also, the recipe will not work with chickpea flour, it will be a hard block.
This cake came out extremely moist, like unbelievable and quick to make in the oven took me about 25-30 mins @350!
I am so happy you like the cake, thanks for trying my recipes.
I have to use gluten free flour but gluten free flour cup for cup is not self-rising, I don’t think. What do I add and how much to help the rising? Baking powder, soda? Thank you.
Gamitin ang aking gabay sa pagpapalit na walang gluten para iakma ang recipe.
Can it be made with cacao instead of cocoa powder?
I haven’t tried, probably, I am not sure if it will dry out the batter a bit more. I never bake with cacao powder.
Another amazing recipe!
You are so kind! Thank YOU for being here with me and baking so many of my recipes.
Could you use EVOO or avocado oil?
Sure, avocado oil do add some flavor to the cake, but if you like it why not. I usually like light olive oil more, the taste is not noticeable.
Hi There, can I use Stevia as A substitute ?
Stevia doens’t melt in cakes and it’s way to sweet to swap in same amount as sugar. If you mean by ‘stevia’ a blend of sugar-free crystal sweetener made from Erythritol and monk fruit like this isa dito, then yes you can use it as a 1:1 ratio swap to sugar.
Can i use normal dairy milk ratherr than water or almond milk???
Oo naman
I am vegan (all in) for 8 years. I have gotten my husband over that time to give up meat. But because I do all the cooking he is technical vegan also; by default. I tried this recipe and he loved this cake. It is the first recipe I have tried that he said actually taste like a cake.
Thank you for sharing an easy to make chocolate cake recipe that actually taste good.
That’s such an amazing feedback, thank you!
Turned out great. Just replaced sugar with Maple syrup.
