Best ever Eggless Sponge Cake recipe which I wanted to share an year back here. Due to several reasons it happened today and the secret behind this perfect texture comes mainly from Almond or Rava / Sooji. Also each and every ingredient is important and its quantity as well. So if you skip or change the measurements I can’t assure this perfect texture in your bake. For Vanilla Flavor do add vanilla extract or cardamom powder for bakery style Cardamom Cake. I have shared
some tips, pictures of my work using this recipe as base. Also given the video tutorial for the same will update any notes if I left in near future. Thanks for being here do like, share and express your views.

If I use readymade almond meal do I have to add extra 1/4 cup sugar to it?
Meera
Hi… When replacing almond meal with rava, 1/3cup rava to be soaked in how much milk. Pls confirm
Sangeetha Priya
Meera 3 tbsp milk is fine!
Vrinda
You said that you get the perfect texture due to sooji but I don’t see any sooji in the ingredients or method. How is almond flour different from almond meal?
Sangeetha Priya
Its there in the Note section 3 , for nuts free cake do replace Almond Flour with Sooji or Milk Powder and both almond flour and meal are same and sometimes homemade almond meal looks coarse in texture that’s it.
Sangeetha Priya
Nisha please refer my 1 and 2 notes, you can either use single pan for the above measurement by using 3 inch height pan or use 3/4 the of the recipe for a normal 2 inch height pan or bake two times with regular pan. if you bake two times try to bake the cake batter within 30 minutes or else do refrigerate till you bake.
Nisha
Hi Nitha, I have only 1 pan, so can I bake the cake in two batches. Should the remaining batter be keep at room temperatures or fridge?
