Easy to make and very yummy. I used pineapple essence since I did not have vanilla essence at home. I made pineapple butter icing on the top of this cake which really added more taste to this cake.

We tried this yesterday, first time baking. The steps are clear and easy to follow and the result was delicious - fluffy, soft and moist. Thank you. It was an absolute delight to do this. 2 questions - how long do we pre heat for and is it at the same temp. How do we get the brown crusting on top? Ours just crusted in the side.

Tarla Dalal
Nov. 5, 2018, 12:42 p.m.
You have to pre-heat on the same temperature i.e 180?C (360?F) for a minimum of 10 minutes. There are multiple reasons affecting the brown crust. Make sure your oven''s temperature is accurate, the ingredients are of high quality, aluminium pans are best for even baking and place the tin in centre of the oven.

Hi Nekha, Once your cake has been made.. cool it slightly and store it in the container.. if cooled in open.. it gets hardens from the sides, because of extra dryness..

Hi Manvi, Make sure the eggs are at room temperature. That at times causes the cake to curdle.

Tarla Dalal
June 11, 2013, 3:38 p.m.
Hi Sadhana, the cake batter consistency should be of dropping consistency, you can always adjust it by adding or subtracting of the milk in the batter. One more thing, the quality of the plain flour differs from place to place. Do try it again and share your feedback. Happy Cooking!!!

This recipe has been tried and tested in our kitchen twice. Oven to oven baking time and temperature differs, so you can try by reducing the baking time to 20 to 25 minutes. Also make sure you have used the exact size of tin as that also leads to a raw or a burnt cake.

If you want to make this with oil , use this below recipe http://www.tarladalal.com/Eggless-Vanilla--Cake-Using-Oil-(-Cakes-and-Pastries-)-33314r and if you want to use the same recipe with eggs but in oil then you can replace butter with oil and try, we have not tried it.
