Tips for the Best Eggless Cakes
- Add a Leavening Agent: Baking soda and vinegar or yogurt work well to make the cake rise.
- Don’t Overmix: Mixing too much can make the cake dense. Stir just until the ingredients are combined.
- Cool Before Slicing: Cooling helps the cake firm up, making it easier to slice.
FAQs
- Why does my eggless cake turn out dense? Overmixing or using old baking soda can cause density. Mix gently and ensure your baking powder and baking soda are fresh.
- Can milk replace eggs? Yes, milk adds moisture, but it won’t give the same lift as eggs. Combine milk with vinegar or baking soda for better results.
- How do I make my eggless cake fluffy? Baking soda, vinegar, and yogurt can add airiness. Avoid overmixing to keep the cake light and fluffy.
Happy baking! Enjoy the richness and flavor of these egg-free treats.
