Eggless Atta Cake Recipe / Eggless Wheat Cake Recipe with stepwise pics and a short YouTube video. If you like my video, please share it and don’t forget to SUBSCRIBE to my channel. This cake is a super healthy one mainly for people who are reluctant to add All Purpose Flour / Maida and white sugar in their diet. Moreover, it is prepared with atta, jaggery, no butter and you can make it as a vegan version too by replacing milk with water + vinegar but the softness will be missing a bit. I have already used brown sugar or palm sugar in so many of my cake recipes, but this is the first time I trying my hands with jaggery, to the say the truth, I kept my finger crossed intense until I sliced the cake and tasted a bit. Yavvy! the taste, texture, flavour was marvellous and pillowy soft. Do try it, you all will, believe me, so my dear friends I am waiting for your feedback.

Notes
Tips for Eggless Wheat Cake Recipe
- Sieving the dry ingredients is a must for even mixing.
- For vegan version, milk can be replaced with water + vinegar. But the soft texture will be missing a bit.
- Ensure to use pure jaggery without any dust or dirt.
- Use any flavourless oil only, else the cake smells bad, otherwise oil can be replaced with melted butter too.
- I used unflavoured oil, it can be replaced with olive oil too, it gives a nice texture to the cake.
- Don't skip cinnamon powder as it lends a nice aroma and zing to the Eggless Atta Cake Recipe.
- The same batter can be used to prepare Atta Muffins but bake for only 15 to 20 minutes.
- Always cool the cake and then slice it, else it gets crumbled.
- In Microwave: Preheat it and bake the cake in convection mode at 180c for 30 to 35 minutes.
- This Eggless Wheat Cake Recipe stays good for 2 to 3 days at room temperature and 1 week under refrigeration, but warm it before eating.
- Baking powder cannot be substituted with baking soda, both are different.
- Ensure baking powder and baking soda are within the expiry date, else the cake won't raise and turns spongy.
- Don’t over whisk the batter, otherwise the cake becomes hard.
- Once you prepare the batter, bake it immediately, else the baking powder de-activate and the cake won't raise.
- Choose correct sized baking tray, if not while baking itself the cake overflows. To avoid this fill the batter to 1/2 of the tray.
- If the cake doesn’t get baked in the centre, cover the tray with an aluminium foil or butter paper and bake for another 10 minutes.

Eggless Atta Cake Recipe
Hi.. My jaggery absolutely refuses to dissolve in oil.. I used store bought powdered jaggery just coz I didn’t want lumps. And still it doesn’t dissolve to the smooth consistency as shown in your videos.. What am I doing wrong?
Maybe the jaggery powder you use is hard, else grind the jaggery and oil in a tall mixie jar ( mentioned quantity only). Otherwise, just soak the jaggery in the oil for 30 mins and then whisk, hope this may help you. Try it and let me know your feedback.
Just wanted to say.. Irrespective of the lumps n all the cake turned out great. Everyone loved it! Guess the jaggery dissolved during baking there was no bits in the cake as I had expected..
Thanks a lot for your kind words, keep visiting my space, and have a nice day.
