For this V-day, I have decided to prepare a Basic Eggless Vanilla Flavoured Sponge Cake with a classic Ganache Topping and with very basic decoration. Actually I am suffering with flu since last 4 days and not in a mood to prepare anything complicated but something simple yet tasty. I have realized that I have not shared this very basic recipe here which I am preparing since many years…the Basic Eggless Vanilla Sponge Cake topped with Chocolate Ganache.

Eggless Vanilla Cake With Chocolate Ganache
- Total Time: 1 hour 10 minutes
Ingredients
Units
Scale
- All Purpose Flour/ Maida: 1 ¼ cup
- Baking Powder: 1.5 Tsp.
- Baking Soda: ½ Tsp.
- Sweet Condensed Milk: ¾ Cup (75 ml)
- Milk: 6 Tbsp.
- Salt: 1 Tsp.
- White Vinegar: 1 Tbsp.
- Plain Water: 3 Tbsp.
- Vegetable Oil: 1 cup
- Vanilla Essence: 1 Tsp.
- Chocolate Ganache: 1.5 Cup (for topping)
- Strawberries: 10 (for decoration)
Instructions
- Pre-heat Oven in 180 degree C for around 10 minutes.
- Take All Purpose Flour, Baking Powder, Baking Soda and Salt i.e. the Dry Ingredients in a bowl and mix properly and then sieve the mixture.
- Now take Sweet Condensed Milk and Vegetable Oil in a Bowl and start mixing it using an electric whisk for 2-3 minutes or else use manual whisk for mixing for around 8-10 minutes to get a thick, fluffy mixture.
- Then add Vanilla Essence, Vinegar and Water to the mixture and mix again for around 2 minutes to complete mixing Wet Ingredients.
- Now add Flour mixture to the Wet mixture in three parts and keep mixing by Cut-fold method. Don't over-mix as over-mixing will reduce the air formed within the mixture and the cake will not raise.
- Finally add milk to the mixture and mix lightly.
- Now take a 9’ cake tin and grease it with little Vegetable oil and then line it with either parchment paper or with little all-purpose Flour.
- Pour the Cake mix in the Cake tin and start baking it in 1800 c for around 25-30 minute in middle rack.
- Check the Cake after 20 minutes of baking by inserting a toothpick in the middle of the cake. If not done, then bake for some more time. It took me 28 minutes to bake the Cake.
- Take the Cake out of the Oven when done and let it cool for 5 minutes and then take it out in a wire rack by inverting the cake.
- Basic Eggless Sponge Cake is ready and it can be served as it is or after adding some toppings.
- I topped my cake with Chocolate Ganache (Click for the Recipe) which took me around 10 minutes to prepare.
- Finally I have decorated my Cake with Strawberries dipped in leftover Ganache!
- For better taste refrigerate the Cake for around 1-2 hours.
