Eggless Sponge Cake Recipe
Print RecipeIngredients
- ¾ cup (150 gm) unsalted butter, softened
- 1½ cup (415 gm) granulated sugar
- 2 cup (510 ml) milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 3 cup (465 gm) all-purpose flour (maida)
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ¼ tsp salt
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until the mixture is pale and fluffy.
Add milk and vanilla extract to the bowl, stirring thoroughly until evenly blended.
Sift in the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt, ensuring there are no lumps.
Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until a smooth, lump-free batter forms.
Pour the batter into a greased and lined square cake mold, smoothing the top evenly.
Place the cake mold in a preheated oven and bake at 180°C (356°F) for 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove from the oven and allow the cake to cool completely before slicing.
Serve your eggless sponge cake as it is or decorate with your favorite toppings.
