How to bake a Perfect Eggless cake recipe?
This is a pretty straightforward recipe with no crazy ingredients. All you need some basic ingredients and a super moist and tender cake is ready.
Sift the dry ingredients. Cream butter and sugar together. When the butter-sugar mixture is light and fluffy, add in the sifted dry ingredients. Add the zest and yogurt. Mix until combined. Pour in a greased baking pan and bake as directed.
Depending on the pan size this cake needs to be baked for 30-40 minutes. For me, it took 38 minutes in a 7.5 X 3.75 X 2.25-Inch loaf size pan.
This is a SUPER moist cake so allow it to cool down completely and then cut a slice.

Hi Ruchi, it's my first I am leaving a comment at your blog. I have tried many recipes all together. This recipe is SO WONDERFUL! This is by far the simplest and tastiest cake recipe I've ever tried. Thank you for this recipe, it's delicious!
Thanks Susan for trying the recipe. I am glad you liked it. 🙂
Hey ruchi love it
Can we substiturmte butter with oil?
Substitute***
Molly, I have not tried this recipe with oil.
Tq ruchi.. My cake out awesome..!I followed every inch eventhough your recipe on substitute for heavy cream and cake flour.I even added 1/2cup of grounded almond..heaven!!
Glad you liked the recipe. Addition of almonds sounds really yum!! Thanks for sharing your experience with me Reneekk. 🙂
My cake did not raise enough,i do not know what is the problem
Shova, I’m sorry to hear that this recipe did not turn out the way you had imagined. Below are the possible reasons that may have gone wrong and caused your cake to not rise.
1. Outdated baking powder. Baking powder when combined with a liquid, causes air bubbles which helps the cake to rise. Test your baking powder - add about a teaspoon to a glass of hot water, if it creates bubbles, it's active.
2. Use the right size baking pan. If it's too big the cake won't rise enough to fill the pan.
3. Do not over mix the cake batter. Once all the ingredients are blended stop the mixing process and begin baking. Over-mixing results in dense and chewy textured cakes.
Hope this answers your query!!
Can we use malai in place of heavy cream.
I wouldn't suggest that. Please use heavy cream for perfect results. 🙂
Recipe looks great, but am i missing something to read here, I donot see when did you add milk and whupping cream, which you have mentioned in Ingredients list above. Please let me know. i need to bake eggless soon.
Thanks Ankita! Please read step #9. It's clearly mentioned under that. 🙂

Hi,
I have tried your vanilla cupcakes and they came out perfect.. thanks for the wonderful eggless recipes.. I actually have a question about this one.. if I want to have a stronger orange flavor in the cake, do you have any suggestions on how to get it? would increasing the amount of orange zest really help? Hope you can answer soon..
Thank you
Thanks for trying the eggless vanilla cupcakes recipe Urvashi! Glad you liked. Yes, adding more orange zest will add strong flavor to this cake. I would suggest adding a total of 1.5 tablespoon orange zest to the cake. Adding more will result in a bitter taste. Hope this helps!
thank you so much.. will let you know the end result..
I HV spoon measuring 5ml..can I use same for adding baking powder..as I think 1teaspoon=5ml
Tani, 1 teaspoon (dry measurements) is 5 grams. Please refer to this link for conversions - https://www.ruchiskitchen.com/conversion-chart-grams-liters-gallons-cups-ounces/
Heavy cream means condensed milk??
Can I use condensed milk?
Gauri, heavy cream is not condensed milk. In local stores, cream is sold under two packets – Whipping cream(liquid form) and heavy whipping cream or heavy cream. They are not the same – difference is the milk-fat content. Try making heavy cream at home, if you can't find one in your local grocery stores. Whisk together 3/4 cup of full fat milk with and 1/3 cup of melted unsalted butter. It will make 1 cup. Use this in place of heavy cream. Hope that answers your query!!
hi , just came across your page , would love to try he recipes , was reading this particular one and you mentioned cake flour by that do you ,in the self raising flour or some other cake flour and what do u mean by heavy cream, is it not the normal whipping cream you get in the supermarkets, please reply
Thanks for stopping by Neha. Cake flour doesn't mean self rising flour, it's different. You can make cake flour at home - follow this link - https://www.ruchiskitchen.com/homemade-cake-flour/.

Hey Ruchi, I'm drooling at the recipe & surely going to try it too. Can I bake this in the microwave, at convection mode & if yes, then what would be the time? Thank you 🙂
Thanks for stopping by Prerna. Yes, you can bake this cake in a microwave(convection mode). Temperature and cooking time remains the same. Baking time may vary depending on the accuracy of the oven. Happy Baking!!
Hey!! Amazing recipe for orange cake.. Surely gonna try it.. I was gng through the recipe n comments.. Orange juice is mentioned no whr in the eggless version.. N in one of ur comments u have mentioned that orange juice is thr.. So can u please clear the confusion
Thanks Mahima. Sorry about that, have made the corrections. Please follow the recipe as stated. Orange zest is enough to give this cake a sweet yet citrus-y flavor. Hope that answers your query.
Making this cake with regular flour so how much baking powder should I use .
Leenu, I have not tried this recipe with regular flour. Substituting cake flour with regular flour may result in thick and dense cake. You can make cake flour at home - the link is provided in the recipe. Feel free to email me if you have any other query.
Is there any substitute for Heavy cream as its not handy at the moment. Thanks in advance.
Thanks for stopping by Nisha. Try making heavy cream at home. Whisk together 3/4 cup of full fat milk with and 1/3 cup of melted unsalted butter. It will make 1 cup. Use this in place of heavy cream.
