When my eldest two were super little I had the perfect recipe for a moist, bouncy, eggless cake. It had taken me a couple of years to perfect that recipe. Unfortunately I lost or misplaced my recipe book within the last two years and that perfect eggless cake recipe is now nowhere to be found. Even though I eat cakes with eggs now, I always hoped to have an eggless recipe ready for religious occasions or for birthdays which fall on Fridays or Tuesdays or during auspicious festivals.
Over the holidays, I attempted an eggless cake for New Year which fell on a Friday. The texture turned out great thanks to the addition of two acidic ingredients – baking soda and plain yogurt. The trick to a light, airy, eggless cake is definitely using an acidic ingredient to create air bubbles during the baking process.
When I shared my eggless cake on Instagram, so many of you requested the recipe hence this post.
