## 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**](/recipes/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](/recipes/eggless-sponge-cake-plain-cake-recipe).**

* finally, add dry fruits / tutti frutti to make **eggless vanilla cake** more rich.
