Notes

  • firstly, use warm milk and room temperature butter for perfect texture.
  • also add choco powder along with maida, check out eggless chocolate cake recipe.
  • furthermore, use oil instead of butter if you are preserving the cake and eating later. as butter hardens once refrigerated whereas oil doesn’t and keeps cake more moist.
  • also to bake in microwave convection mode pre heat and bake at 180 degrees for 30 minutes. and to bake in cooker check out how to bake in cooker.
  • finally, add dry fruits / tutti frutti to make eggless vanilla cake more rich.
