How to make Eggless Vanilla Cake

  • Step 1: Grease an 8-inch diameter baking tin and dust it with maida. Preheat the oven to 180°C./li>
  • Step 2: Sieve together maida, baking powder, and soda bicarbonate (2-3 times for better aeration).
  • Step 3: Soften the butter (do not melt). Add Nestlé MILKMAID and beat well. Then, add the vanilla essence./li>
  • Step 4: Add the sieved maida mixture and aerated soda alternately to the batter till all the maida and soda are completely used up.
  • Step 5: Pour the batter into the baking tin and bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes or till the toothpick inserted in the centre of the cake comes out clean..
  • Step 6: Remove from the oven and cool it for a while. Loosen the sides of the eggless cake, using a knife, if necessary. Turn out over a wire rack/plate lined with cloth (to absorb moisture) and cool it slightly before cutting into pieces.

Tips to Vanilla Eggless Cake

  • Use the right size baking tin to prevent a dense eggless cake.
  • Swap butter for oil in the easy eggless cake recipe. Oil helps keep the cake moist and fluffy.
  • Overmixing can make your eggless cake tough. So, mix your batter just until combined.
  • Follow the baking temperature in your eggless cake recipe for an even rise and a well-structured cake.
  • If frosting, wait until your eggless cake cools completely - this prevents the frosting from melting and creating a mess.

FAQs on Vanilla Eggless Cake

1. Will the cake rise without eggs?

Yes, cakes can rise without eggs. Leavening agents like baking soda or baking powder create air bubbles that help the cake rise. While eggs support structure, alternatives like aerated soda can effectively replace them in an eggless cake recipe.

2. Why is my eggless cake rubbery?

A rubbery texture in an eggless cake is often caused by overmixing the batter or using too much flour. Overmixing develops excess gluten, making the cake tough, while too much flour adds density. For a moist eggless cake, mix gently and stick to the quantities mentioned in the recipe.

3. Why do eggless cakes sometimes become dry?

Eggs naturally provide moisture, binding, and lift. Without them, eggless cakes may turn dry if substitutes don’t match these functions. To prevent dryness, use a moistening agent like butter, avoid over-baking, and follow this easy eggless cake recipe like the one above.

4. Why does my eggless cake sink in the middle?

Sinking can occur due to several reasons: overfilling the pan, incorrect oven temperature, opening the oven door too early, insufficient leavening, or batter imbalance (too much fat or liquid). To avoid this, use the right pan size, check your baking powder's freshness, and follow the vanilla eggless cake recipe closely.

5. How long does a vanilla eggless cake last?

An eggless cake stays fresh for 3–4 days when stored in the refrigerator. Keep it in an airtight container to retain moisture and prevent it from absorbing other flavours.
