Tips to bake a perfect eggless vanilla cake
TIP 1 – All ingredients should be at room temperature + always use fresh curd
Curd or yogurt should not be sour, otherwise there will be a sour taste in your sponge
TIP 2 – Do not add full quantity of liquid at once as mentioned in recipe. Before adding dry ingredients, add only half the quantity and mix. Then gradually add remaining quantity after adding dry ingredients and mix well to get a lump-free batter. Consistency of the batter should be such that it should easily drop from spatula. You can adjust the quantity of liquid as per your flour type
TIP 3 – Always level the flour or baking powder/soda and then add to the batter
TIP 4 – Do not over beat/whisk the batter
There is a possibility that cake will turn out to be dense if you will over whisk the batter. Just whisk till everything gets combined well and you get a lump-free batter.
TIP 5 – Tap the tin to level the batter. Do not level it with a spoon or spatula.
TIP 6 – Wait for atleast 30 minutes before demoulding the cake from tin. You can even let the cake be there in the tin for long.
TIP 7 – After atleast 30 minutes, invert on a wire rack. Cover the cake and allow it to cool completely for 3-4 hours.
