Nothing can beat the rich, velvety flavor of a homemade Eggless Vanilla Pound Cake. 
It is called a “pound cake” because the original cake recipes used one pound of everything – eggs, butter, flour, sugar and the end result was a sinfully yummy pound cake. Well this recipe, eggless Vanilla pound cake has all the different proportions but is still super moist and a delicious cake!!
When baking a pound cake the first thing that comes to our mind is EGGS because its the key ingredient for a pound cake. Eggs not only adds structure and flavor to a cake but are used for binding, leaving and thickening our cakes. So what can replace this magic ingredients – tofu, curd and milk. Yes, you heard me right – the combo of these three creates such a fluffy and moist cake that you will hardly miss eggs in this cake.
Tofu, a soybean product, acts as a thickening agent, yogurt makes the cake rich and moist and milk balances the density of the cake and adds flavor.
RECIPE DETAIL – This recipe is pretty straightforward – sift, mix the ingredients, bake and enjoy!! Sift dry ingredients first. Cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. In a separate bowl mix tofu and yogurt until thick and creamy. You can choose to puree tofu in a blender and later combine it with beaten curd. Add dry ingredients, mix it well and bake @ 350 degree F for 30-40 minutes or until the toothpick comes out clean.
Instead of icing or frosting my cake, I like to dust my cake with powdered sugar once it has cooled down. Enjoy a perfect tea time cake!!

Erika says
Can i substitute yogurt for sour cream?
Ruchi says
Hello Erika,
Full-fat Greek yogurt can be used in place of sour cream.
Denise says
Hi thanks for the recipe! My granddaughter is allergic to eggs so I’m always looking for good cake recipes. I’m going to try and bake this into 3 round layers for her birthday cake. I have the smaller 6 (or maybe 7?) inch rounds. Do you have any advice as far as time and temp for this configuration? I think I’ll just double the recipe for starters. Thanks again!
Ruchi says
Denise, I would suggest bake the cake for 28 minutes in a 6-inch pan and start checking around 28 minutes until the toothpick comes out clean.
If you give this recipe a try then share your feedback with me. 🙂
denise says
Will do! thanks again.
Ruchi says
My pleasure. 🙂

Could I use coconut milk and plain coconut milk yogurt in this? Not only is my daughter allergic to eggs, but she is allergic to milk as well.
Ruchi says
Sure you can!

Urvashi says
Hi ruchi…thanx for such a delicious recipe…eggless cakes i look for as i am pure vegetarian…i didn’t use tofu so i used 1 cup ofcurd full instead…turned out grt just felt that could have used 2 tsp of oil extra in it…….i want to learn how to glaze it asmy glaze disappeared immediately i poured…
Ruchi says

Sheena says
Can I use 1 cup of curd in replacement of the tofu
Ruchi says
Sheena, replacing tofu with curd may call for some liquid adjustments in the recipe. Depending on how thick or liquid the curd is, quantity of milk will be adjusted. Haven’t tried it without tofu so can’t comment on the texture of the cake.
Charu Verma says
Can this recipe be prepared in microwave?
Ruchi says
Charu, you can use microwave only if it has the baking (convection) mode.

Mrs.Nilufar Daruwalla says
Hi Ruchi,
I have some queries regarding your above recipe, eggless pound cake
1. Can I substitute tofu with paneer??
2. Your recipe says “1/2 – 1 teaspoon Baking soda”. You mean 1&1/2 tsp
baking soda or between 1/2 to 1 tsp.
Kindly clarify.
Thanks for the lovely recipe. Will surely try it. I always look forward to your blog. Kindly also post soft and moist chocolate cake recipe to be baked in an electric oven and not microwave. Thanks once again.
The eggless pound cake looks very yummy and delicious.
RK says
Thanks for kind words Mrs. Nilufar. Will look into your request.
1. Unfortunately Tofu cannot be substituted with paneer. You can replace tofu with applesauce but the results will not be the same.
2. Use 1 teaspoon baking soda for this recipe. 1/2 – 1 teaspoon meant use either 1/2 teaspoon or 1 teaspoon.
Feel free to email me if you have any more question.
