Eggless Pineapple Cake

Today's recipe is a simple and elegant Pineapple cake which I adapted from my Eggless Vanilla Sponge Cake recipe. I made this cake for my husband's birthday.. He prefers single layer cake with frosting.... We loved this cake with refreshing pineapple flavor and aroma.. I frosted the cake with Fresh cream frosting. Another try I made was writing with the sugar syrup... I wrote "Happy B’day" with Sugar syrup and kept it on top of the cake.. It was so crunchy and delicious. This recipe will make 1 13x9 cake or 2 9" round cakes or 2 8" round cakes

Eggless Custard Powder Cake

Cake - the word means party and celebration... Until recently where I am making cakes or tea cakes or snack cakes which do not have frosting and are mildly sweet. This is perfect for evening tiffin, to take to travel, have as a breakfast or give for your kid's lunchbox.. I got this recipe from here. This cake has a beautiful light yellow color and the tutti frutti in it makes it even more attractive.

Eggless Oat Brownie–w Whole Wheat Flour

Brownie - something I crave and love so much. It is a chocolate lover's paradise... I mostly enjoy the gooey brownie as is. I got this recipe from here. The good thing about this brownie, it uses all healthier options like whole wheat flour, brown sugar, canola oil and oats.. Enjoy this delicious and healthier brownie!!! You can also take a look at the other Low Fat Brownie on my blog.

Eggless Pistachio Sponge Cake

I have started to have an appreciation for Sponge cakes which are very light and airy and as the name as "Spongy". This cake is easy to put together and tastes delicious.. I got this recipe from here and made some changes. I have taken pictures in 2 different light settings, so they look slightly different. Cakes usually come with a whole lot of calories and I have been looking for bakes that are lower in butter and fat. Also I have used whole wheat pastry flour instead of all purpose flour here.. Trust me it was so spongy, airy, light and delicious!!!

Are you like me who WAS not very comfortable with icing cakes as you feared that it will not look perfect or professionally done.. Then this will be a perfect cake to practice your icing skills and also not be afraid as it will look great and so much professionally done. This was the first cake I did icing and now I tell everybody who is scared about icing to try this cake first as it is very easy. The amount of cherries, cream, sugar is personal choice. You can add more or less.

Vegan Fondant–with stepwise pictures

Fondant is a product I got introduced in the last few years. I was so intimidated by it when I first saw and now I am more comfortable and love using it. Have you ever wondered at the pictures of tiered wedding cakes which look more like a photo and less like a cake and also the beautiful beads and decorations on them?? Looks awesome and so professionally done.. I have used store bought Fondant in the past and this time I tried my hands on home made one. I got this recipe from Veena who was sweet enough to share her recipe. It is very simple to do.. Hard part is finding the ingredients.. From ifoodtv – “History of Fondant  - Usage of fondant is traced back to 15th century, where people decorated their cakes with paste made from a mixture of sugar and almonds. Another earlier version was made with egg white, rosewater, lemon juice, and gum paste. Fondant, in early times, was mostly used in candies. It came to be used as an icing in the 20th century. In recent years, using rolled fondant has become a popular practice in cake decoration.” There are two types of Fondant – rolled fondant and poured fondant. This is rolled fondant.

Eggless Cake Pops

I made chocolate cake for my daughter's birthday and wanted to make the cake pops with the left over cake crumbs or cake pieces.. My daughter loved it and it was an instant hit and I had fun playing with various designs. This was one of the choices chosen by Pallavi for this month’s Home Bakers Challenge. You can play around with the designs and sprinkles. This also makes a great kid time to allow them to play and decorate their cake pops.. My daughter thoroughly enjoyed it..

 

Eggless Bienenstich Kuchen (German Bee Sting Cake)

For this month's We Knead to Bake, Aparna chose this German Bread (actually a German Cake).. It is an interesting cake with yeast used as the rising agent.. This has 3 texture, the top layer is little hard from the caramel, the cake is soft and the custard filling is smooth and silky.. This made 8 big pieces. The frosting was left over. So next time, I would do half the below frosting for this recipe..

Sugar Free Chocolate Cake (w sugar substitute)

Sugar free chocolate cake is a recipe for vegetarians who do not eat sugar either due to weight restrictions or due to health restrictions like diabetes. This tastes great and is healthy compared to the regular cake. Substitute milk with cold water, butter with vegetable oil or margarine for Vegans.

Eggless Pina colada Cupcakes–Eggless Pineapple Cupcakes

This is a delicious and exotic cake with bursting pineapple flavor.. Gayathri announced Pina Colada cake for this month's Eggless Baking Group.. I did not use the original recipe, but got the recipe from Priya and it was easy and delicious.. Thanks to Priya for her quick reply.. This makes 12 - 14 cupcakes..

Honey Drizzled Semolina Cake

I have never tried a cake with semolina and I was inclined to do this when I saw the recipe for the HBC which was chosen from here. When I finished making it and was ready to cut and click pictures, I was almost crying as I felt like it was a disaster... But then I came to know that this is correct texture of the cake from our friend Gayathri who also tried the eggless version.. Thanks to her, i felt relieved and happy. And then took these photos.. It was very tender and crumbly, so needed so much care and attention.. It has a very unique taste and a nice flavor and aroma of honey and vanilla. I also chose this for H under the baked category. I halved the recipe and made it in a 6x4 pan. But you can double this and bake it in a 13x9 pan.

Eggless Chiffon Cake / Orange Chiffon Cake

My Facebook likes have crossed 500!!!! Thanks to all who have supported me… Celebrating it with a delicious cake!!! Some recipes have a very tempting name and you want to try them, but cannot due to some reason.. That is my issue with the very light Chiffon cake as it is largely dependent on Egg whites and I was so skeptical to try it when Swathi announced it for this month’s Baking Partners which was suggested by Sara. Chiffon cakes are very light and its texture primarily comes from eggs and oil. It also has a longer shelf life compared to the regular sponge cakes as it does not use any butter. I want to thank Gayathri who shared her recipe with me for this delicious cake and it was very yummy!!!. I would do this one again but next will reduce the sugar by a table spoon.

Eggless Vanilla Sponge cake–200th post

Today’s recipe will be my 200th post on the blog and am sharing a Vanilla Tutty frutti cake. Thanks to all my readers and followers who have helped me travel so far and hope to receive the same or better support from you all. Here is a delicious Fruit cake, sponge cake or vanilla cake for the celebration… Sponge cake is a very basic cake recipe that can be used just by itself as a cake or be converted to a variety of cakes like shape cakes, layered cakes etc. I used this in Tiramisu in the place of lady fingers or savoriadi cookies as they have egg in them. This recipe is from here with some changes. You will get 1 13x9 inch cake or 2 9 inch round cakes.

"Perfectly Chocolate" Eggless Chocolate Cake

I get excited to do cakes and cakes that call for very little fat. This is a delicious chocolate cake with no butter and no eggs.. Gayathri chose this delicious and very famous Hershey’s chocolate cake for this month’s Eggless Baking Group. It is a very easy cake to do. I halved the recipe and got a 9 inch round single layer cake. It is very interesting and new to me of adding boiling water to the cake batter and I searched the internet as to how that helps. Here are some of the answers I got – from webfoodpros – “ Cocoa powder consists of a small amount of cocoa butter and the boiling water helps separate the cocoa butter out of the cocoa mass and emulsify it into the batter.“ Kingarthur’s website says  - “boiling water added to cocoa will help bloom the chocolate and impart more flavor“.  The cake was very moist and very delicate and I was so happy with the intense chocolate flavor. The next time I do this, I would do lesser sugar

Buttercream Frosting

Buttercream frosting or icing is the most famous icing. The ingredients are simple and the process is quick. This is a basic recipe with no colors added. You can use this frosting for cakes, cookies, cupcakes..

Eggless Drømmekage fra Brovst / Eggless Danish Dream Cake

A cake with a difference is the first opinion I had when I saw this cake announced by Gayathri for this month's Eggless Baking Group Challenge. This was suggested by Meena. It is not easy to substitute recipes that have 4 eggs, but I got ideas from Archana. The cake needs to be done in steps and finally an assemble needs to be done. Do not forget to make the topping as the first step as it is very important to add it immediately once the cake is baked. You need to use a 9 inch square pan for this recipe. The original recipe is from here and followed it exactly except for substituting the eggs. This cake is from the Brovst region of Denmark.

Eggless Chocolate Cupcake

Cupcakes are small cakes made and these cakes are so soft and so moist and are full of chocolate flavor and taste. I got this recipe from a few websites and made changes according to our taste and preference. The rich and deep chocolate color comes from the Dutch Processed cocoa. If you used regular cocoa powder, the color could be much lighter. Cupcakes are everybody’s favorite and it is a recipe that surely is a kid’s delight. I am sending this to BM for Kid’s delight – Desserts.

Eggless Cauldron Cakes

Wish you all a very Happy and Prosperous New Year 2013

You learn so many new things daily... one such learning was this new type of cake. This is designed with the Harry Potter Theme... When Gayathri announced this cake for the Eggless Baking Group challenge, it looked very exciting and it was like food modeling. We were designing the chocolate cupcake to look like Cauldron ( a large metal pot) from the Harry Potter. When my daughter saw the cupcake, she shouted with excitement - handbag cupcake!!!! Yes she is too small to watch Harry Potter and to her it is Handbag cupcake and we all liked that name!!!!

Eggless Neapolitan Cake

Neapolitan is a tri color. Have seen the very famous Neapolitan ice creams and this cake also follows the same rule of tri color. We have 3 colors in this cake - green, pink and yellow. When Swathi chose this cake for the baking partners, I was very excited as I would get to do a very colorful cake. Made some changes from the original recipe. The original recipe was done in a loaf pan, I have made this in a 9 inch cake pan, made it Gelatin free and Eggless.
