Eggless cakes are a delicious and versatile dessert option that can be enjoyed by everyone, including those who are allergic to eggs or who follow a vegan diet. Eggless cakes can be made in a variety of flavors and textures, and they can be just as delicious as traditional cakes that contain eggs.
Here is a basic recipe for an eggless cake:
Ingredients:
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 3/4 cups granulated sugar
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup yogurt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup milk
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9×13-inch baking pan.
- In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients alternately with the milk and yogurt, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients.
- Beat in the vanilla extract.
- Pour batter into prepared pan and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting.
Tips for making an eggless cake:
- Make sure all of your ingredients are at room temperature before you start baking. This will help the cake to bake evenly.
- Don’t overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cake tough.
- Be careful not to overbake the cake. An overbaked cake will be dry and crumbly.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting. This will help the frosting to adhere to the cake.
Variations:
- You can add different flavors to your eggless cake by adding extracts, such as almond, lemon, or orange. You can also add chocolate chips, nuts, or dried fruit.
- To make a chocolate eggless cake, simply substitute 1/2 cup of cocoa powder for 1/2 cup of flour.
- For a vanilla eggless cake, simply add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the batter.
- And for a vegan eggless cake, simply substitute 1/4 cup of applesauce for each egg.
Frosting:
Once your eggless cake has cooled completely, you can frost it with your favorite frosting recipe. Some popular frosting recipes include buttercream frosting, chocolate frosting, and vanilla frosting.
Serving:
Eggless cakes can be served on their own or with a variety of toppings, such as fresh fruit, whipped cream, or ice cream. Eggless cakes are also a popular choice for birthday parties, weddings, and other special occasions.
Enjoy!
