Thanksgiving Special: Decorated Eggless Cake


INGREDIENTS:
  • All purpose flour - 200 gm (1 1/2 cups)
  • White or brown sugar sugar - 5 tbsp
  • Baking powder - 2 tsp
  • Baking soda/ sodium bicarbonate - 1 tsp
  • Butter melted - 150 gm
  • Vanilla - 1 tbsp
  • Milk - 250 ml (1 cup)
 For the icing and decorating:
  • Strawberry frosting - 3 tbsp
  • Milk Chocolate frosting - 4 tbsp
  • METHOD:
  • Preheat the oven at about 150 c/300F.
  • Grease and line the base of an 8” round cake tins with greaseproof paper/baking parchment/butter paper.
  • In a mixing bowl, assemble the flour,sugar, baking powder and baking soda, mix with a spoon and sieve once to make the mixture uniform.
  • Add milk, melted butter, and vanilla  in it. 
  • Beat with an electric hand mixer, whisk or spoon just until the mixture is uniform and smooth and there are no lumps. 
  • This shouldn’t take more than a minute with an electric hand mixer/beater. 
  • Be careful not to over beat as this tends to stiffen the batter which might lead to a less softer cake.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and bake for 25 to 30 or until a skewer or toothpick comes out clean.
  • After the cakes are done, allow them to rest in their tins for 3 to 4 minutes and then invert them on to a cooling rack.
  • When the cakes are cooling, apply the icing and decorate the Eggless Cake according to your taste.
