Eggless vanilla sponge cake

Tried out this recipe from Madhuri's recipe at Cook Curry Nook and it was perfect.. Thanks Madhuri for the recipe

Ingredients

1.5 cups of all purpose flour/ maida

3/4 cup sugar (powdered after measuring)

1.25 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp baking soda

Pinch of salt

1 cup thick curds beaten

1/2 cup cooking oil

2 tsp vanilla essence

Mix in the powdered sugar with the curd. Add the baking soda and baking powder and stir lightly. Keep aside for 2-3 minutes till it gets frothy. Add oil and vanilla essence to it and mix gently. Slowly add in sieved all purpose flour. Mix gently.

Preheat oven to 200 degrees celsius and bake for 10 minutes. Reduce heat to 180 degrees celsius and bake further for 20-35 minutes depending on size of the baking pan. Since I used small baking pans of various sizes, it got done in 20 minutes. Keep looking for brown spots on the cake and check back if done with a toothpick. If it comes out clean when inserted in the cake, it is done.

* I used chocolate vermicelli, chocolate icing and coloured sugar balls for the garnishing. Sugar balls and chocolate vermicelli should be added to the cake before baking. For chocolate icing, let the cake cool really well and then garnish with chocolate icing.

Recipe inspired from Archana's blog The Mad Scientist's Kitchen. 

Ingredients

2 cups wheat flour

1.5 cups sugar

1/2 tsp cooking soda

1 tsp baking powder

2 tbsp cocoa powder

1 tbsp drinking chocolate powder

1/2 tsp vanilla essence

2 tbsp butter in room temperature

2.5 grams of Eno fruit salt

2-3 tbsp butterscotch sauce or chocolate sauce

Mix the butter with curd and milk. In a seperate bowl, mix all the other ingredients except Eno. Now add the butter-curd-milk mixture to it and mix well. The batter loosens up in some time when the sugar melts. Keep this aside for 4 hours.

Add Eno to the batter and pour it in a microwave safe greased container..Ensure the batter doesnt exceed half the size of the bowl. Microwave for 10 minutes but keep checking back even minute after 6 minutes in case you try it out in lesser quantity..or else your cake might get burnt. Insert a toothpick to check if done.

Cool and cut into pieces. Spread butterscotch or chocolate sauce over it and serve.
