EGGLESS GOLDEN YELLOW CAKE | CUSTARD POWDER CAKE
Eggless Golden Yellow Cake is an incredibly moist, tender and perfect for any occasion; serve it with tea or dress it up with some chocolate frosting and turn it into a beautiful cake for a special occasion.
Baking a beautiful golden yellow cake has been on my baking wish list for a while now and like always with my baked goodies I wanted it to be eggless; not that I am vegetarian or a vegan but I enjoy making eggless cakes.
While I was searching for a perfect recipe I came across an eggless yellow cake recipe posted on a website ‘Divinetaste’. I followed the recipe with just a minor change instead of butter as mentioned in the recipe I used oil and this change definitely did not affect the texture of the yellow cake; it came out perfect. My husband likes tutti frutti in cakes so I had to add it. The cake gets beautiful sunshine yellow color from the custard powder, which also happens to be the superstar ingredient in this yellow cake or custard powder cake.
To keep the top of the cake golden yellow I covered the cake with aluminum foil after 20 minutes of the baking. I also baked it at 160C which is lower than the temperature normally I would bake. Those who do not have an oven do not get disheartened you can very easily bake this beauty in a pressure cooker or in a saucepan. I used an 8”x 4” loaf tin but any 7” or 8” cake tin should be fine.
