BEST EVER EGGLESS VANILLA CAKE/CUPCAKE !

No more attempts ...I am satisfied with the results.  Yes, the basic eggless vanilla cupcake.  After several trials I came up with a fool proof recipe which works great and it tastes absolutely delicious.  The texture of the cake is very light and super moist.  Yours and my search and trials for eggless vanilla cupcake/cake recipe ends here :)  The most important thing in this is cake flour; I strongly recommend using cake flour instead of all purpose flour.  I do not want my cake to be dry, oily, dense and also noooooooo trace or taste of baking soda (I don't like the soapy after taste) :(

You can see the trials I did in the below picture and results.  Another important thing is that there is no butter in this cake, the oil in cake keeps it moist.  Even though this cake is light, airy and tasty it does not match with the cake that has egg.  Trust me; this is a treat for those who don't eat eggs.  This is sure a keeper recipe for me, will use it when I plan to do eggless for any occasion.  It’s really easy to do eggless baking ... so go ahead and try if you like this recipe and let me know how it turned out :)

Stay tuned for Best Ever Super Moist Chocolate Cake in near future, yes it’s eggless too :)

 Keeper Recipe for Eggless vanilla cupcake :




How to make Cake Flour??
1. For every 1 cup of flour remove 2 Tbsp of flour.
2. Now add 2 Tbsp of Cornflour for every 1 cup of flour. (Replacing the tablespoons of flour taken out).
3. Sift 5-6 times and it's ready-to-use cake flour.

You can do this cake flour for 2 or 3 cups and store it in the air tight container.  Use the amount that is recommended in the recipe.







BEST EVER EGGLESS VANILLA CAKE/CUPCAKE




Ingredients:

This recipe yields 5 to 6 cupcake.  See the note for Variations and for vegan substitute.

Cake Flour - 120 gm (See how to make Cake flour in instruction)
Sugar - 60 gm
Baking powder - 1/2 tsp
Baking soda - 1/4 tsp
Salt - 1/4 tsp
Oil - 1/4 cup
Vanilla extract - 2 1/2 tsp
Milk - 1/2 cup
Apple cider or any vinegar - 1/2 tbsp

You can also substitute Milk and Vinegar with 1/2 cup Yogurt as well.




Frosting:

Heavy whipping Cream - 1 cup
Sugar - 2 tbsp
Coconut Flake for topping
Vanilla essence

 



Method:

1. In a large bowl sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Mix in the sugar.
2. In a small bowl add milk and vinegar mix them and keep it aside for a minute.(If you are using Yogurt use them instead of milk and vinegar) In the same bowl mix other wet ingredients and give it a whisk.
3. Now make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and stir in the wet ingredients.
4. Stir the mixture together using a whisk without lumps. But do not over do it.
5. Fill the cupcake liners about 2/3rd full with batter. Preheat the oven to 350 f.
6. Bake for 15 to 17 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cupcake comes out clean with a few crumbs clinging to it.
7. Cool the cupcake completely and frost with your favorite frosting.




For Frosting:

You can frost the cupcake with your favorite frosting like butter cream, cream cheese or chocolate ganache according to your preference.

But since I wanted to make the frosting very light, I frosted with whipped cream and dusted with few coconut flakes.



Variation in cupcake :

1. You can also use Soy milk, almond milk or coconut milk in the place of milk in the recipe for vegan option.
2. You can also add orange or lemon zest to get the zesty aroma.
3. You can also add tsp of cinnamon to make it cinnamony and frost with chocolate ganache..it taste absolutely divine.
4. You can also add chocolate chips or frozen berries to make it chocolate chip cupcake or berry cupcake !!!

Do try and let me know !!!!

Nice pics pavithra. I wonder how to go about this recipe in cups? how did you measure 60 gms of sugar? with scales? Could you give an alternate in standard cups?

Shobha

Dearling :)  – (January 26, 2013 at 9:02 AM)  

I just made this recipe but my cupcakes have a crispy crust and they rise with an odd shape. The top of the cupcakes protrude upwards and it's kinda difficult to put icing on top unless I cut away the protruding part. I like the taste but it seems like the shape is giving me some problems :( Any advice? Any help would be appreciated! :)

dishesfrommykitchen  – (January 26, 2013 at 9:57 AM)  

Hi Dearling,

I am glad you liked it. These might be the reasons ....

1. For crispy crust - You're either baking them too long or your oven is too hot. Lower oven temp 25ºF. Do you have the oven rack in the middle of the oven and not higher? Keep it in the middle rack.
Are you using granulate fine sugar ?? If your sugar is with larger granules, measure it and slightly powder it. So that it dissolves in the batter easily while mixing.
2. Fill the cupcake liner only upto 2/3 rd of it(this is must) , if you fill more than that it rises with odd shape.
3. Do not mix the batter too long.

Hope this helps, Let me know how it came out when you get a chance to try next time.

dishesfrommykitchen  – (January 26, 2013 at 10:00 AM)  

@ Anubhavati

More than cup measurement I prefer in gms for accuracy.
I measured in kitchen scale. 60 gms of sugar is about( 1/4 cup + 4 tsp) . Hope this helps.

anonymous  – (January 30, 2013 at 10:38 PM)  

tried ur chocolate cupcake recipe and it came out perfect. planning to try the the vanilla one in cake form.
Plz do suggest if I need to make any changes in baking time or any other tip .

The cupcakes looks so delicious and moist just like a regular cupcake,and also thanks for sharing the cake flour ingredients. Am planning to try the the vanilla one in cake form.Plz tell about the oven heat & baking time for that vanilla cake.

Thanks

Pavithra Elangovan  – (January 31, 2013 at 8:37 AM)  

@ Anonymous I am glad you liked the chocolate cupcake.
For the Vanilla cake use 7 " or 8 " pan. The baking time would be 30 - 35 minutes. As each oven varies.. keep an eye when you near 25 minutes or 30 minutes when you make it first time. Hope this helps.

Hi Pavithra,

I followed ur recipe for chocolate cupcake eggless one, but i forgot to add sugar in the dry ingredient,after mixing the wet and dry, when i tasted the batter, i realized i missed out the sugar and so added it later :-(
after the cupcake was baked, when i removed the cupcake liner, the cupcake was not in shape i mean the bottom was not stiff... will try out again, i think its because of the sugar i added in the end. Let me try again..thank you, btw this post was passed on to me by Hiral in HBG...
Thanks, Divya

Hi Pavithra,
How are you?

I did not read anything this time. I was looking at the images and was attracted towards them, browsed up and down many times to enjoy them.

A nicely written post and well captured images, I must appreciate you for it.

Have a nice weekend Pavithra.

Best regards,
Abhilash

Unknown  – (March 1, 2013 at 3:45 PM)  

Hi Pavithra, can you convert the grams measurements to cup measurements for this recipe? (the flour and sugar are written in grams, but i only have cup measures at home)

Thanks!

Unknown  – (March 2, 2013 at 8:36 AM)  

Hi Pavithra,

Tempting recipe.. I tried the Eggless Vanilla cupcakes. They came out good. The texture was also good. But while eating, there was little smell of oil. Any suggestions for that?

Thanks,
Neha

Unknown  – (March 13, 2013 at 7:51 AM)  

Hi,

What type of sugar do we use in making the eggless vanilla cupcakes ?

Pavithra Elangovan  – (March 25, 2013 at 12:12 AM)  

@ Neha - Neha, glad you liked it :) What oil did you use ??? Use oil canola or sunflower oil... And use correct amt of leavening agent, it should be fine.

Unknown  – (April 10, 2013 at 5:49 PM)  

Hi, can you use self-raising flour instead of the cake flour?

I do not know where I went wrong.. My batter was like that of a dough.. I used 120 gms flour, 60 gms sugar, milk 1/2 cup and the other ingredients as suggested.. but the consistency was not right.. what would have gone wrong.. pls help..I used the standard measuring cups for the wet ingredients..

I Write for Fun  – (July 4, 2013 at 9:29 AM)  

These are the best cakes I have baked so far.. its flawless.. and comes out best!

Navarathna

I Write for Fun  – (July 4, 2013 at 9:32 AM)  

@ Asha! Pavithra would be the best to comment.. but in my limited baking knowledge, you could add a little more milk, the thumb rule in baking a cake is the batter should be of dropping consistency, if you drop the batter from a spoon it should fall effortlessly! Hope this helps!

cracie  – (July 29, 2013 at 11:06 PM)  

Used a 4 oz cup of strawberry yogurt instead of the milk. Turned out wonderful! Now I plan to make with other flavors. Thank you!

This is the best eggless cupcake recipe available....the cuppies are really light...airy and they dome so well....by substituting the milk and vinegar with flavored yoghurts there are endless possibilities....the only problem tht i had was that they weren't sweet enough...but tht can be sorted out by using ganache or buttercream to top these beauties instead of whipping cream....this recipe is a keeper....thank you ma'am for sharing this with the world....superbig hug....God bless you....

I just made these cupcakes today, because majority of homemade vanilla cupcakes taste like sugar cookies, oil or eggs. So, I gave this a try and it surpassed my expectations tremendously! !! I was so happy with the small taste tester one bowl ingredients, so if it didn't work out, it would be fine. Wonderful and delicious ! Thank you

Hello,
I've just made your recipe and it looks great. Can I double and triple the recipe, if I want to make more, or do I proceed with separate bowls? Since I'm using baking soda and vinegar I know I have to proceed fast for baking. Thanks for your response.
Cheers,

Tried this, It was super moist!! One observation- I felt the oil added was bit excess. my cupcake liners were ozzing out oil after the cupcakes were done. Also I thinkni should add powdered sugar instead of granulated sugar.

The recipe for an eggless vanilla cupcake is well-tested and offers various customization options. The use of oil instead of butter for moisture and the recommendation for cake flour are helpful tips. The absence of eggs in the recipe doesn't compromise the taste or texture, and the step-by-step instructions are clear and easy to follow. The frosting with whipped cream and coconut flakes is a delightful touch. The absence of eggs doesn't compromise the taste or texture at all. The detailed explanation on how to make cake flour at home is a game-changer for baking. The cupcakes were a hit at a family gathering, with a perfect crumb and lovely vanilla flavor.
