EGGLESS VANILLA CAKE


Every one I know argues that Eggless cakes are not so soft.. on the contrary they ARE quite soft and the extra ingidients make it yummy.. a lot of people i know advocate use of condensed milk in eggless cakes.. i have had very bad experiance with that. it not only makes cake very heavy and chewy they also loose texture.. may be i haven't found the right recipe..
This one particularily is very very yummy.. it is a versatile vanilla cake.. u can add nuts or chopped fruits to make it tastier. recipe courtsey my friend Aparna who is a great cook herself..:).. the milk powder adds taste to it and so does added milk. lemon helps it rise well.. be careful to put lemon juice right at the end so cake rises better..
