Eggless Vanilla Cake

Friday, June 10, 2011

I have been thinking of making a Vanilla cake for a while now. While I was looking through my recipes, I found this one from Tarla Dalal. Interestingly, the cake is made with no eggs and it is made in a microwave.

It came out really nice and soft. My kids loved it too.

The cooking time could vary as each microwave is different. Mine cooked in 6 1/2 min. Also, if you do not have sour curd, add 1 tsp lime juice to your yogurt to make it sour.

Difficulty level: Medium
Preparation time: 10 min
Cooking time: 7-8 min
Makes: 6-9 portions

Ingredients:



All purpose flour: 1 cup
Baking powder: 1 tsp
Sour yogurt/ curds: 4 tbsp
Baking soda/ soda bi-carb: 1/2 tsp
Melted butter: 1/2 cup (microwave butter on high for 1 min)
Powdered sugar: 3/4 cup
Vanilla essence: 1 tsp


Sieve the baking powder and flour and keep aside. Mix together baking soda and the curd and keep aside. Combine butter, sugar and 1/2 cup water in another bowl and whisk well. Add the curd, vanilla essence and flour and mix well, to make a smooth batter. Batter is ready when it is of a pouring consistency. If the batter is too thin, add 2 tbsp flour and mix well. Pour the batter into a greased shallow 7" diameter (minimum) glass (or any other microwaveable) dish. Microwave on high for 4 min. Cook for more time if needed, in 30 sec increments. The toothpick inserted at the center should come out clean. Remove from microwave, cool slightly and unmould.
