Best Eggless Choco Chip Tea Cake Recipe for Beginners

Food influencer Parth Bajaj has done it again. In Episode 37 of his popular Bakery Secrets series, he unveils what he calls his best chocolate chip tea cake yet. Inspired by the recent wave of choco chip cakes trending online, this eggless version is soft, buttery, and packed with chocolate chips, perfect for tea-time indulgence or a cozy dessert.

Simple Ingredients, Bakery-Style Results:

This recipe uses everyday ingredients but delivers bakery-level flavor and texture. You'll need:

• Lukewarm milk (120 ml) mixed with vinegar (2 tsp) to create a buttermilk substitute
• Unsalted butter (100 g) and caster sugar (100 g) for a rich, sweet base
• Vanilla extract (1 tsp) for aroma
• All-purpose flour (160 g), baking powder (1 tsp), baking soda (1 tsp), and salt (½ tsp) for structure
• Chocolate chips (½ cup) for that gooey, melty bite

How to Bake It Right:

Preheat your oven to 170°C. Mix the wet and dry ingredients separately, then combine to form a smooth batter. Fold in the chocolate chips and pour into a lined loaf pan. Bake until golden brown, this can take 30 to 50 minutes, depending on your oven. A toothpick inserted should come out clean, with a few moist crumbs.

Why It's a Must-Try:

This cake is eggless, beginner-friendly, and tastes just like something you'd pick up from a high-end bakery. Whether you're baking for guests or just treating yourself, it's a recipe that delivers every time.
