How to make Egg less Vanilla cake
Ingredients needed
All purpose flour/Maida – 1 1/2 cup
Thick curd – 1 cup
Sugar -3/4 cup (1 cup if you want it very sweet)
Baking Powder – 1 tsp
Baking soda – 1/2 tsp
Cooking Oil – 1/2 cup (any flavourless oil)
Vanilla essence -11/2 tsp
Preparation
Seive maida 3 times and keep it aside.
Pre heat the oven for 10 minutes.
Grease and flour the baking tray and keep it ready.(I used an 8 inch square baking tray).
Method
Mix sugar with curd until sugar dissolves.
Now add baking powder and baking soda to the above and mix well. Leave it for 5 minutes.You will see bubbles appearing. Now add oil, vanilla essence and mix well.
Then add maida little by little and combine well with the wet ingredients.Mix well until creamy.
Pour the mixture in the greased baking tray and bake in a preheated oven for 25-30 minutes (180 degree C ) or until a toothprick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean.
Wait for the cake to cool completely before removing it from the pan, then cut it and enjoy!
Butter icing
Recipe adapted from joyofbaking
Ingredients needed
Butter – 1/2 cup
Icing sugar – 2 cups
Vanilla essence -1 tsp
Any food color of your choice
Method
Sieve icing sugar.In a bowl, cream together butter and vanilla essence.Then add icing sugar, little at a time and beat well. Keep it in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes.
Cut the top and the sides of the cake evenly.
Spread the butter icing on the top of the cake evenly with a spatula and pipe design of your choice.
To get the desired spreading consistency,you can add little milk if needed.
If you want pipe some designs and want it thicker,add more sugar.
I am a beginner in cake decorations but just wanted to share with you how I did this simple butter icing.
Note – Cool the cake for at least 2 hours before frosting..
The cake tasted great with the butter icing. You can bake this eggless vanilla cake in pressure cooker also as I have done for my vanilla cake with eggs
Enjoy!
lovely looking cake……..lovely and soft.
wil try soon…. seems easy to make 🙂
They look really good. Sometimes I think eggless versions taste better than with egg.

Hi mam, im ur fan…thanks for the wonderful recipes.
The cake tasted oily and like dalda. not sure where i went wrong but m an experienced baker and found that there was not much flavor in this cake.
You should use fresh flavorless oil.All ingredients including baking powder should be fresh. Find out where you went wrong referring the link below

dear padhu,
can i try your wheat and ragi cake aith vanilla flavour,raisins and almonds only(i mean adding the essence and no choclate)…i want to try it …pls reply…
Yes, you can try it. Ragi and chocolate goes well together.
Hi Padhu,
I tried your above recipe. The cake came out well without sticking but the inside texture didn't come out like a professional one. I followed your instructions pretty well. Is there anything I have watch out on?
May be your oven temperature. You can bake for a few more minutes. Moreover egg less cakes will not be as soft and fluffy as cakes with eggs.
Thank you padhu for the simple and wonderful recipe. It came out really well
Instead of oil v can use melted butter ….pls tell me …taste will differ ah
Yes, you can.About the taste it will not alter much.
Hi Padhu,
Your recipes are very good and I have tried some of them.
I tried this cake too. It tasted very well and was spongy and soft. But probably a bit too soft. I could not cut the cake. It was breaking.
Can you please tell me where I would have gone wrong.
Thank You,

Thank you for liking my recipes. Use fresh baking powder and also check your oven temperature. Add a little baking powder to very hot water, if it bubbles vigorously for a few seconds, it is fresh otherwise buy a new one.
Thank you!
Can maida be replaced with wheat ?
Wheat cakes are dense and moist and not fluffy.You can add half maida and half wheat flour.
