Eggless Vanilla Sponge Cake Recipe – How to make Eggless Vanilla Sponge Cake Recipe

Eggless Vanilla Sponge Cake recipe with step by step photos. A vanilla sponge cake which is easy and egg free. We don’t have any constraint on eggs at home but not a huge fan of cake with eggs. So this eggless cake is for all the vegetarian readers also for people who are allergic to eggs and lastly for those who do not love eggy odour like me.

To replace eggs I have used baking powder and towards the last stage I add 1 tbsp hot water + 1 tbsp vinegar + 1 tsp of baking powder. This formula always work for me for eggless cakes. For the moisture in the cake you could use yogurt, milk, flaxseed paste, apple sauce or condensed milk. I have used milk plus water.

Had made this cake for one of hubbys friend who had sent us Diwali sweets and savories. So as a token of love I would be sending this cake for her. To make the cake further special I have frosted the cake with chocolate ganache. Mainly chocolate ganache is cream and chocolate but I have added some butter for the lovely glaze and shine.

To make the frosting is optional but it does make your cake look elegant. Also won’t be surprised if the cake gets over soon. In this case make more batches of cake. Usually vanilla cake get’s over too soon at our house. Personally I love any cake made with love and preferably less sweet.

Another advantage of making eggless cakes are less pans used, less of beating and more faster baking. Moreover you could use this cake as base for any frosting cakes like angel cake, trifle cake, sandwich cake, fruit cakes or jam cakes.
