Chocolate Sponge Cake with Butter Icing – Eggless

  Chocolate cake will be everyone’s favorite. I made this cake for my cousin sister , she asked to make a chocolate cake.

 Usually I make cake without adding oil. For the first time I used oil in the cake . I used canola oil in this cake.

By the second week of the April, I received a mail from a representative of the Dalmia Continental ,  which was the importer and distributor of the canola oil in India. They asked me whether I will review about the oil. I replied yes. By the last week of the April, I received a liter of the Hudson canola oil.

About canola oil :

 Canola oil is most popular in Canada . It was introduced recently in India.

  Hudson canola is a standard edible vegetable grade oil , a light oil with neutral taste and flavor. This oil can be used for all types , methods and varieties of Indian cooking  : frying , roasting or grilling . canola is neutral in flavor and aroma with no distinctive taste or smell.

 Canola oil is extruded from the seeds of the yellow canola flower. It has the lowest saturated fat among all oils , very high mono saturated fat , very high omega – 3 and rich Vitamin –E content .

 I felt the price wise too this oil is ok . As we buy Sesame oil for tempering . Both this canola and sesame oil are sold at same price. To know more about the health benefits check here. The oil can be purchased through online through their site.
