Ingredients
  

1 Cup = 250 ML, 1 tsp = 5 ML

  • 1½ Cup Maida / All purpose Flour (180 Grams)
  • 1 Cup Powdered Sugar (120 Gram)
  • 1¼ tsp Baking Powder
  • ½ tsp Baking Soda
  • 1 Pinch Salt
  • 1 Cup Curd (250 ML)
  • ½ Cup Oil (125 ML)
  • 1½ tsp Vanilla Essence

Instructions
 

  • First measure and keep all the ingredients ready.
  • To a dry mixer, add sugar and powder it (if you have powdered sugar in hand already, use the same). To a wide bowl, pour the curd.
  • Then add powdered sugar, baking powder, baking soda and a pinch of salt to it. Mix it well.
  • Rest it for 5 minutes only. Curd and baking soda react with each other and now you can see bubbles rising on top. Then pour oil and vanilla essence into the mixture.
  • Add sieved maida slowly and then start folding the mixture without any lumps. By the mean time pre-heat the oven for 15 minutes.
  • Brush a baking tray with oil and dust little flour all over. Select a suitable size tray as the cake doubles in size. Now pour the cake batter to the tray, then shake a little, so that the air bubble release. Place the tray in the oven in baking mode and bake for 30 to 35 minutes at 180c or a tooth pick inserted in the center comes out clean. Once cooled, invert the tray on a plate and gently tap to remove the cake.
    Slice eggless sponge cake into pieces and enjoy during tea time.

Notes

Tips for Eggless Vanilla Cake

  1. Sifting the All Purpose Flour / Maida is a must to avoid lumps and it helps in even mixing.
  2. Don't use sour curd or reduce the quantity to get a spongy texture. Also, the curd should be at room temperature only.
  3. Use any neutral/flavourless oil only, else the Eggless Vanilla Cake smells different.
  4. Oil can be replaced with melted butter (not ghee), but the cake hardens after 2 or 3 days.
  5. After adding baking powder and baking soda to the curd (step 4), don't give more than 5 minutes resting time. Otherwise, baking agents de-activate and the cake won't raise.
  6. For a golden coloured top layer, brush the cake with little milk 10 minutes before the finishing time and bake again.
  7. The shelf life of this Eggless Sponge Cake Recipe is 3 to 4 days. The same batter can be used to prepare vanilla cupcakes.
Common Tips in Baking
  1. Baking powder cannot be substituted with baking soda, both are different.
  2. Ensure baking powder and baking soda are within the expiry date, else the cake won't raise and turns spongy.
  3. Don’t over whisk the batter, else the cake becomes hard.
  4. Once you prepare the batter, bake it immediately, otherwise, the baking powder de-activate and the cake won't raise.
  5. Choose correct sized baking tray, else while baking itself the batter overflows. To avoid this fill the batter to 3/4th of the tray.
  6. 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.

    Hi, the cake looks yummy and would like to try it. But my daughter is vegan. Can I substitute curd with soy yoghurt? Would I get the same result?

    Thanks

      Some tips you should follow to get a perfect sponge cake are:
      1. Wet ingredients should be at room temperature.
      2. Sieving the dry ingredients is a must, use fresh baking soda and baking powder for the cake to rise properly.
      3. Too much of mixing the batter also makes the cake flat. If using an electric beater, set in medium speed to whisk the batter.
      4. Preheat the oven properly and never open the oven door in the first 20 minutes of baking.
      5. Brush the cake with little milk before 10 minutes and cover it with a parchment paper or aluminium foil to get a nice colour on the top.
      Hope these tips help you, hope next time you get a perfect sponge cake, have a nice day.

    Can you please tell on which rack have you placed the tray(middle/lower)?
    And what’s should be heating rod setting(both the rods/bottom rod)?

      For baking in OTG, the bottom element alone should be heated. Before, starting the batter preparation, pre heat the oven for 10 minutes, then bake it for 35 to 40 minutes at 180 c, without opening the oven door, atleast for first 20 minutes. Always the tray should be placed in the middle rack in OTG. I have shared a lots of tips in the recipe itself, you can read it for more clarity. Have a nice day, keep visiting my blog.

      Yes, you can use melted butter(not ghee) at room temperature. The cake hardens as days pass when using butter but oil keeps the cake moist. Keep visiting my blog and have a nice day.
