Eggless Custard Powder Cake

By Delicious Addiction on June 27, 2024

This Eggless Custard Powder Cake came out from an idea of how to make eggless cake without adding yogurt. My grandmother (Dida) loves to eat cakes specially the homemade one but suddenly due to some health issues doctor advised her not to take eggs. There was some pretty good amount of custard powder lying in my pantry. So, I thought why not to make a sponge cake using custard powder. I was not at all confident about the outcome but this cake came out so well!

So, here I am sharing the recipe of Eggless Custard Powder Cake. Hope you will like it ...

Ingredients:

All Purpose Flour – 75 gms
Custard Powder (Vanilla Flavored) – 50 gms
Caster Sugar – 50 gms
Baking Powder – 1 ¼ tsp
Vegetable Oil – 6 tsp
Milk – ¾-1 cup
Vanilla Essence – 1 tsp
Cherries – For decoration

Steps

Prepare a square or a round cake pan. I have used an 8 inches long rectangular pan.
Grease the cake pan lightly with oil. You can also line the pan with butter paper.
Preheat the oven to 180 degrees C.
Sieve the flours and baking powder three times.
In a cup or bowl mix in the custard powder with the milk.
In another mixing bowl mix sugar and oil. Mix till the sugar dissolves.
Now add the milk and custard powder mixture to it. Mix thoroughly.
Add the flour to the mixture slowly and mix uniformly.
Add vanilla extract/essence. Stir and mix quickly but uniformly. Pour in the cake pan.
Shake the pan lightly so that the cake is spread evenly throughout the whole pan.
Place the sliced cherries on the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 180 degrees C for 30-35 minutes or more or less depending on your oven.
Insert toothpick in the middle of the cake. Cake is ready if the toothpick comes out clean. If not, bake for some more time, then check again.
Cool the cake in the pan for 5 minutes and then run a sharp knife around the edges of the pan and carefully remove the cake. Turn onto a cooling rack and leave there till cool completely.
When cooled slice, serve with tea coffee and enjoy!
