I really did it!, I never ever thought I could bake a cake without using egg!, Madhuram's Eggless Baking always inspired me. whenever i browsed through her blog I always thought she is a really queen of eggless baking, she is daring to bake so many things without eggs, I too wanted to try my hand but I was so scared, I thought what if it didn't turn out well !, But today I just made my mind I must try out you know why? I had some strawberries left and wanted to use in baking a cake, something different, I started searching for a recipe I did get some strawberry cakes but they were not used sandwiching or for decoration but I wanted to use it inside the cake so I basically used a basic recipe from about.com and changed a little and Lo! here I am with this recipe of baking a strawberries cake!
Ingredients:
- 3 cups plain flour
- 1 & 1/2 cup caster sugar
- 2 tsp Baking soda
- 1/2 tsp Baking powder
- 2 tbsp Rice Vinegar
- 1/4 cup water
- 1/4 cup oil (I used coconut oil)
- 1/4 cup soya milk
- 1 cup fresh strawberries pulp
- 1 & 1/2 tsp vanilla essence
- Preheat the oven to 180 degrees/Gas mark 4
- Take a bowl and mix together flour, sugar, baking soda & baking powder and keep aside
- Then in another bowl slowly incorporate coconut oil & vanilla
- In another container dissolve vinegar & water and mix well then mix this with oil & vanilla.
- To the above mix add the vanilla essence & strawberries pulp and mix well.
- I took around 10 to 12 strawberries and ran it in a mixie until they were nicely mashed and became a smooth pulp.
- Then mix the soya milk
- I used coconut oil remembering that madhu used it in her eggless baking, and I had some extra virgin coconut oil with me! I thought let me use this.
- Then mix all of them together and whisk for 2 minutes
- Into this mix add the already mixed flour slowly so that their are no lumps are formed in it, until all the flour is completely mixed.
- When the batter is well mixed it be smooth & I do not know how to explain! :)
- Pour this creamy mixture into a Greased cake tin and bake it at 180 degrees/ Gas mark 4 in the middle rack.
- Allow it to Bake for about 40 to 50 minutes, Check if the cake is cooked by inserting a knife or any method you use into the cake, if it comes out clean with no cake sticking to it then the cake is well done.
- Take the tin out and leave it for few minutes then take the cake out from the tin and cool it on a wire rack.
- Decorate the cake by using frosting, or any method you want it look beautiful which I have not done!
