Hi All,
This is my second trial of eggless cakes. Though we always
love the cakes with richness of egg but still some of my friends love to have
it without eggs. Also eggless cakes tastes equally like egg cakes. The curd along
with baking soda activates the puffiness in cakes .
We love simple plain sponge cakes , there is a bakery in Pollachi
,Tamil Nadu where we get amazing sponge cakes and never missed to taste it
during our visit. I make sponge cakes in many ways but this one is simple not
much rich yet very yummy and satisfying version of my sponge cakes.
The easy ,peasy recipe is as below,
The recipe is as below,
COOKING TIME : 1 HOUR.
SERVINGS : 10 MEMBERS.
INGREDIENTS :
Maida – 1 cup
Sugar – ½ cup
Baking powder – 1 tsp.
Baking soda – ½ tsp ( I used cooking soda).
Oil – ½ cup.
Curd – ¾ cup.
Milk – 3 tblsp (optional).
Vanilla essence – 2 tsp.
FOR CHOCOLATE FROSTING:
Chocolate chips – 1 cup.
Butter – 1 tblsp.
COOKING METHOD :
1) In a
wide bowl beat curd, Sugar, Vanilla essence till sugar dissolves.
2) Beat
till there are no lumps in curd.
3) Add
oil and mix evenly.
4) Add
baking powder, baking soda and whisk till soda starts bubbling.
5) Bubbling
indicates activation of baking soda, you can see small bubbles popping up ,
this is right time to add flour.

6) Sieve
flour twice.
7) Add sieved
flour little by little to oil mixture.
8) If the batter is very thick then add
milk to form ribbon consistency.
9) Grease
baking tray with oil and dust with flour.
10)
Fill half of the tray with batter, tap it slightly to remove air pockets. This helps in avoiding cracks and even texture of cake
11) And bake at
170” for 30 mins.
12)
When inserted a knife it must come out clean,
remove from oven and let it cool down completely.
13)
When cooled invert the cake to wired rack and
let it cool down further.
FOR FROSTING :
1) Double
boil or microwave chocolate chips along with butter till melts.
2) Pour
the mixture over cake, if needed add any sprinkles and refrigerate till set.
3) When
done slice and enjoy.
NOTES :
1) The
cake is best for pastry too.
2) Activating
baking soda is must for the cake to be puffy .
3) Baking
temperature varies from oven to oven, so check after 30 mins.
4) Since I dont use baking soda, I used cooking soda.
