Simple Eggless Vanilla Sponge Cake Recipe – Very Soft and Moist.

How to make Basic Eggless Vanilla Sponge Cake Recipe. Very soft, moist, tender and fluffy. Best plain vanilla base cake recipe. With step by step pictures.

This is a very simple Eggless Vanilla Sponge Cake and delicious recipe. Egg-less cakes can be tricky as they usually turn out dry and dense and crumble easily. But this one is a winner. This cake is very soft, moist, tender and fluffy. It makes an absolutely nice base cake that one can use for layer cakes. My mom had given me a small and tiny recipe snippet book on baking years back. I found this gem of a recipe in that book. Many of you have requested that I post a good egg-less cake recipe. I am happy to oblige. Lets jump straight into the recipe. Here you go!

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F / 180 degrees Celsius. Line an 8 inch square pan with butter paper or parchment. Grease and flour the pan. Set aside.

We need to cream butter and sugar. Sift 60 grams of confectioners sugar and set aside. We need to sift the sugar to get rid of any lumps. Let the butter be at room temperature.

Cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.

Its time for that delicious ingredient called milkmaid. Its nothing but condensed milk. I lick the can almost every single time I use it. I know you do it too.

Add in a teaspoon of real vanilla extract and one whole can/tin of milkmaid to the creamed butter sugar mixture. Beat well for a couple of minutes.

Lets now measure the flour and the raising agents. We will need one level teaspoon of baking soda and two level teaspoon of baking powder.

Sift the ingredients to remove any lumps in the flour and to distribute the raising agents uniformly in the mixture. Add in the sifted flour mixture slowly until a thick batter is formed.

Measure 1.5 cups of milk. Heat the milk until its hot but not boiling.

Add the hot milk to the batter and mix well to combine.

Pour it in a 8 by 8 square pan. Bake it immediately in a preheated 350 degree F oven for about 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes clean. Do not open the oven for the first 30 minutes of baking. If you open, the heat will escape and the middle of the cake will sink.

Cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Run a knife on the edges of the pan to ensure smooth release.

Turn the pan upside down and gently release the pan. Remove the butter paper/parchment. Invert the cake and cool the cake completely.

    Hi,
    If 1 cup is 245ml (which is approx 245 gm). How come 250gm flour is 1.75 cups?

    Reply
    • Maxsmile says

      June 24, 2020 at 3:02 am

      Okay. I was wrong. 1cup of liquid 245ml. Since it is flour 1 cup equals to 125gm. So your recipe called for approx 220gm flour (1.75 cups)

    This is really a life saver for me. I had an eggless cake order and I tried or follow the recipe which I was already suggested by my tutor. I used curd instead of milk mais for the first time and it turned out to be a disaster. It tasted sour. Then I was searching for a better substitute for curd and good recipe in the net. I found your recipe. I usually like to measure the ingredients in grams. But many of the recipe gave in cups form. Only your I could see with grams. I followed completely whatever you’ve mentioned in this recipe and found my first eggless cake was a hit. Thank you for the wonderful instructions and the recipe. I sold it and got a good feedbacks too. Thank you so much and hereafter this would be my recipe for eggless sponge cake.

    We baked the cake precisely following the recipe and it turned out fluffy, spongy and very tasty. We used and 8 by 8 inch pan that was 1 1/2 inch deep and the cake rose a lot! It started to curve like a dome, and so I would suggest a deeper pan. Otherwise, GREAT RECIPE!!! Thanks for sharing it.

      This is how I calculate to see If a recipe can be accommodated for different size pans.
      For example, the recipe says two 8 inch pans. then,
      The area of an 8 inch circle is pi*R*R 3.14*4*4 = 50.56. We use 2 * 8 inch pans. So the area would be roughly around 100. lets say.
      If you wanna accommodate 10 inch pan,
      The area of an 10 inch circle is pi*R*R 3.14*5*5 = 78.5. SO the batter would overflow in one 10 inch pan.

I din kno that it would affect d end product. I jus simply replaced maida with wheat as v r not using maida over 15 years.

    Thanks a lot kannama. Can u share a whole wheat cake recipe definitely egg less????

    Hi kannamma,
    Cake luks yummy. Recently i tried eggless banana cake in a pressure cooker it came out well. But i used only whear flour completely in order to avoid maida. Does the softness of d cake depend on the usage of maida ? Thought d cake could have been even more soft. I used naattu sakkara the ratio was like quantity of flour = quantity of sugar. One of my daughter wanted little more sugar. Taste of d cake was good. But i want it even more soft. Ur advice pls. May be liquid content in my paste could have been a bit more? Used 5 ripened bananas, 1 cup flour and 1 cup nattu sakkara, 1/4 cup milk, 2 tsp yogurt, 4 tsp oil, 1 tsp vanilla essence, 2 tsp baking powder. THANKS

      I am not sure if this recipe is from Kannamma Cooks.
      My general advice would be to not change ingredients while baking.
      There are a lot of whole wheat cake recipes. Do not substitute atta when maida is called for.
      The liquid proportion for maida and atta vary and will not work well if blindly substituted.

    Have been “trolling” for a recipe w/o egg for baby’s 1st Bday cake…this is it! All my questions have been answered where I had a concern…going thru’ the queries makes me wonder sometimes why people just don’t pay attention !? You are a very nice, patient person ?
    I’m baking this cake in two different containers as the end result will be a “Barn Owl” and the body will have to be “molded” out of two Seperate cakes.
    I plan on using two 1 qt size containers to bake….won’t fill to capacity.
    I’ll use left over, if any, for a cupcake or two, I’m excited to get going on it this Friday.

    Hi,
    I tried this recipe but the upper layer of the cake got burnt and inside, it didn’t get baked well. Should I be reducing the temperature?

    I have an eggless birthday cake to make (covered with fondant and decorated) – would this recipe hold up to being covered in fondant? I think I might times and a half it for extra height or do these ingredients x 2 maybe?

      I have never tried this recipe for making tall cakes. I don’t understand the second part of your question? Can you tell me once again?

      Try doubling the ingredients if you want a 2 or 3 layered cake. If not this will do for a small one.

    I have tried a few of your recipes, I especially love the vanilla sponge cane with egg and my all time favourite, the tea recipe, today I tried this eggless cake recipe, and simply loved the results, though for some reason my cake was baked in just 35 minutes, it came out well baked, fluffy, soft and delicious. Do you think the fact that I divided the batter in equal amount and baked in two moulds has someting to do with the cake getting baked earlier than mentioned ?

    I followed the recipe to the T. Used a scale for measuring all the ingredients.

      Yes Akershika. You are right, when you reduce the batter, the cake cooks fast. really happy that you have tried the recipes and like it. Dum tea is my favorite too! suche a breeze isnt it?

      You can try covering with a foil on top to avoid over browning. You can also use cake strips.

    Hi,

    Can you please give me a cake recipe that is moist and soft, where I don’t have to use butter, please? A recipe in which I can use sunflower or canola oil. It can be a plain cake, sponge or pound cake, either baked in a tin or cupcake. The recipe will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

    Hello KC,
    I tried this recipe today…and it turned out very well.. The cake was very spongy and tasty. I tried it in cooker, but the duration for baking must be 30 mins only. I left for 40 mins..and I got the cake burnt on sides and bottom.

    Hi, the recipe looks simple. Thanks for sharing. I’m running out of baking powder at the moment. Instead can I use baking soda only? If yes, how many teaspoons? Or else can I add a tablespoon of lime juice to get the raising effect? What u recon?

    Thanks v much in advance.

      Hi Maya, because this cake is made with condensed milk, it caramelizes when cooking and the cake colour turns light brown. I feel you did not go wrong anywhere.

    I just tried this recipe. I didn’t have an 8×8 so just used my mil’s deep oval Pyrex dish. While baking, the cake rose so well, I was truly impressed. After cooling, however, it deflated and when I cut it, I saw it had only baked half way through. The bottom half is dense and pasty. I’m always baking but it’s been a while since I tried a condensed-milk based recipe. I wanted something that would give me some height but this one somehow failed me. I followed the recipe to the T though, wonder what went wrong?! Tastes amazing though!!

      Hi Sab. I am truly sorry that the cake dint give you the desired results. This is a very fool proof recipe. Looks like the cake was underbaked or too much batter for the pan. Did the cake brown well? Did you cook for 50-60 minutes?
