How to make Gluten free Eggless Vanilla Cake

Yum
Winter time is Christmas time which means a lot of cakes, cookies and bread. In my blog these recipes were missing as I should confess that I am not an expert on baking. So this winter I wanted to overcome my shortcomings and somehow wanted to bake a good cake and tell my readers about it. I tried to make an eggless cake since in Bangalore a lot of people are vegetarian. In addition, I also wanted to make it gluten free so that it appeals to all kinds of people.  

Preparation Time: - 20 min

Cooking Time: - 25~30 min

Servings: - 4 persons (2 pieces per person)

Ingredients:-


  1. 1 cup or approx. 150 gm Rice flour ( I used rice flour instead of all-purpose flour to make the cake Gluten-free)
  2. 150 gm. Refined sugar
  3. 100 ml. Fresh Curd / Yogurt (this makes the cake moist)
  4. 150 ml Milk
  5. 50 gm. Butter
  6. 1 tsp Baking Powder
  7. ½ tsp Baking soda
  8. ¼ tsp Salt
  9. 1 tsp Vanilla Essence 

Preparation:-

1.   Pre-heat your Oven at 180 degree Celsius or 350 degree Fahrenheit for 20 minutes. Most ovens should get the temperature on all walls and floor by 20 min. Some newer ones may have a express pre-heat function which takes 10 min or so.
2.     Take a small frying pan and melt the butter to liquid form.
3.     In a bowl mix Milk, Curd, Butter, Vanilla Essence, and Sugar.


4.     Take another bowl and mix Salt, Flour, Baking Soda and Baking Powder altogether.

5.     Use a strainer to keep any lumps out of this mixture.
6.     Now mix both the mixtures.
  1. Use hand blender to make a smooth thick batter.
  2. Please take a baking tin and grease with little Butter and Flour. I used an 8 inch one. You may take any size depending on your oven size.
  3. Pour the batter in the baking tin and put that inside the pre-heated oven.
  4. Place the timer for 25 minutes and keep the same temperature.
  5. Check after 25 min by inserting a toothpick inside the cake. If the baking is done properly then the toothpick will come out clean.
  6. Once done please keep the baking tin outside to cool it little bit say for 5 minutes.
  7. Now extract the cake carefully from the baking tin and enjoy the freshly baked gluten free egg less vanilla cake.
Serve hot or cold as per your choice as breakfast or snacks in evening. This item goes well with a cup of hot tea /coffee.

Please note that you can use pressure cooker with stand instead of using the oven. In that case please remember to remove the waiter on top of the cooker and it may take 35 minutes to bake with a steel cooker.

As always please feel free to comment, criticize and seek if any help is required. I am all ears.

  1. I have been tasked with making a birthday smash cake for a baby that has wheat, egg and almond allergies. Would this be a good cake to make for the occasion?

  2. Since this cake does not contain egg and almond it is safe to make it. Again rice flour does not contain wheat so this cake is safe for wheat allergy as well.

  3. I am using gluten-free cake mix, may I know the measurement of the flour? Is it still 1 cup or approx. 150 gm?
