Hi Apurva, if you do not wish to add curd, use this below recipe http://www.tarladalal.com/Eggless-Chocolate-Cake-Using-Oil-(-Cakes-and-Pastries-)-33306r
Anagha

Can I substitute sugar with honey, as I am diabetic.
Tarla Dalal
March 13, 2025, midnight
Dear Anagha, Honey can also lead to a spike in blood sugar levels. it is best recommended that you consult your dietitian and consider having sweets occasionally in small quantities as a part of a well planned diet. For eg. If you have small piece of cake, you will have to cut down on other carbs in the meal.
