Eggless Vanilla Cake: A Delicious Celebration Without an Oven

 

This eggless vanilla cake recipe offers a wonderful solution for vegetarians and those who prefer not to use eggs, making it perfect for an eggless vanilla birthday cake. This basic cake is designed to be easy and simple to make, relying on minimal ingredients to achieve a soft and delightful sponge. The use of condensed milk in place of eggs not only binds the cake but also lends a distinct richness and moistness. Importantly, this recipe also shows how to make a vanilla cake without oven, using a preheated pan on the stovetop—a convenient method for any kitchen.

 

 

Preparing the Rich Cake Batter

 

The base of this vanilla sponge is created by whipping the fats and sweeteners. In a deep bowl, combine the soft butter and condensed milk. Whisk well for 2 to 3 minutes until the mixture turns light and fluffy. This step incorporates air, which is vital for the cake's texture. Next, stir in the vanilla extract. In the same bowl, sieve the dry ingredients—plain flour (maida), baking powder, and baking soda—and whisk until just combined. The final touch is the chilled soda (Duke soda); add it and whisk gently to achieve a smooth batter consistency until no lumps remain.

 

 

Baking the Vanilla Cake on the Stovetop

 

One of the great features of this recipe is the method for vanilla cake without oven. Pour the batter into a 150 mm (6”) inch greased and lined tin. To bake the cake, place the tin in a preheated pan. Cook for 30-40 minutes, starting with 5 minutes on medium flame and then reducing the heat to a low flame. The temperature control is key here. To check if the cake is properly baked, insert a skewer; it should come out clean. Once baked, remove the cake and allow it to cool completely before proceeding.

 

 

Assembling and Crumb Coating the Layers

 

Once fully cooled, loosen the edges and remove the cake from the tin. Place it on a turntable and use a serrated knife to carefully cut it horizontally into 3 equal layers. Next, prepare the simple sugar syrup by mixing powdered sugar and water. To begin assembly, place the middle layer of the cake at the bottom (this provides the most stable base). Apply the sugar syrup evenly using a brush. Then, apply ½ cup whipped cream and spread it gently. Place the top layer of the cake upside down over the cream and press gently. Repeat the syrup and cream steps for the next layer.

 

 

The Final Icing and Decoration

 

The next critical step is the crumb coating, which is essential for a professional finish. Apply a thin layer of icing (a little whipped cream) to cover the top and sides of the cake and then refrigerate the cake for at least ½ hour. This process ensures that the cake crumbs are set and do not loosen during the final decoration. After the crumb coat is firm, apply the final layer of whipped cream using a palette knife or scraper to cover the cake completely. Use a cake comb to create a decorative design on the sides.

 

 

Garnish and Serve Chilled

 

The final stage is the topping. Fit a piping bag with a star nozzle and fill it with the beaten whipped cream. Pipe out any shaped swirls or shells along the top circumference of the cake. Finally, sprinkle some colorful edible garnishes of your choice on the top and sides. Refrigerate the cake again for ½ hour to 1 hourbefore serving. This final chilling firms up the cream. Serve the delicious eggless vanilla cake chilled for the best taste and texture.


Usage of Eggless Vanilla Sponge Cake using Condensed Milk in eggless desserts like Sponge Cake with Vanilla Ice Cream and Strawberry Mousse Cake.

You could use Vanilla Glaze Icing, Butter Cream Icing or Mocha Glaze Icing to top your Eggless Vanilla Cake. These icings enhance the flavour of the cake giving a variation to Eggless Vanilla Sponge Cake.

Many famous restaurants serve Eggless Vanilla Sponge Cake using Condensed Milk as evening tea snacks along with a cup of tea.

You will have to make approx. 4 times the recipe to get a 2 kg sponge cake. If you have a big mould, you can make it a one go. Else you will have to make the recipe in batches.

I tried this cake yesterday and it turned out to be so soft and spongy, exactly like how u get in a proper bakery. I garnished it with chocolate glaze icing and whipped cream and it is one of my best bakes till now. I do not have an oven so i baked it in a steamer on slow flame for 45 mins and it was perfect. Thanks for the recipe
