Eggless Vanilla Cake

It was my son's half-birthday few weeks back - he's 1 and a half now (ok, I admit, I was just looking for an excuse to bake a cake). It so happened that we had some friends over for lunch on that day, so this delicious cake from Sharmi's blog was included in the menu (that comprised of Vazhaipoo vadai, Poori & Potato Masaal, Egg Curry, Vegetable Biryani, Capsicum-cabbage raitha & Rasamalais).

The cake requires no special equipment and needs just a whisk to blend everything together - it's very easy and quick to make and my friends were asking me for the recipe since everyone enjoyed it. I increased the amount of sugar and added some tutti frutti in just for some colour, but that's entirely optional. Thank you for this tasty recipe Sharmi.

EGGLESS VANILLA CAKE


Ingredients:All Purpose Flour (Maida) - 1.5 cups
Thick Yogurt - 1 cup
Sugar - 1 cup
Vegetable oil - half cup
Baking powder - 1.5 tsp
Baking soda - 1/4 tsp
Vanilla extract - 1 tsp
Tutti Frutti - 3-4 tbsp, mixed with a tsp of flour (optional)

Method:1) Sieve all purpose flour twice. Preheat oven to 375F

2) Whisk/blend together yogurt and sugar thoroughly. Add baking powder and baking soda and mix well. Leave aside for 5 minutes.... (small bubbles will start to appear)

3) Add vegetable oil, vanilla extract and mix well. Add flour in small portions, mixing well after each addition until creamy and thick. Stir in the tutti frutti (if using)

4) Lightly grease a loaf pan with some oil, pour the prepared batter and bake for 20 minutes

5) Remove from oven, brush the top with some milk, return to the oven and bake for another 10-15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

6) Allow cake to cool completely before slicing and digging in.
