This is one of my most Favorite Food. Being Vegetarian, I miss out a lot of Baking, But trying out various recipes that do not call for Eggs. (I do not prefer Egg substitutes). This is a Wonderful, Very Simple and Tasty Recipe for an Eggless Cake. Since I love Saffron and Walnuts, I have added it to the Cake and that's 'Saffron Walnut Eggless Cake'. Hmm…. simply delicious. A bite of the Brown Crest combined with the Soft Inner Texture…. Tastes really good when served with hot Coffee in the morning. Hey, this Cake is not just for the morning hours. I munch this delight any time of the day. Here is the recipe.
2 cups Maida Flour
1/3 cup Butter
1/2 cup Powdered Sugar
1/2 can of Sweetened Condensed milk
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp vanilla essence
a pinch of yellow/lemon color powder
Water as needed
1 Cup Chopped Walnuts
3-Tablespoon Tutty FruitySaffron, 1 teaspoon
Milk – 1 tablespoon
Add Saffron to Milk and stir. Keep it aside.
Method:
To the Maida Flour, add the baking powder, baking soda, and vanilla essence. Mix well using a dry Whisk. Keep it aside.
Put melted Butter in a bowl and add Powdered Sugar and using a Whisk or an Electric (Hand) Mixer, mix thoroughly.
Add Condensed milk and mix really well.
Add Maida in one thirds and mix gently (I mean, without using any motorized mixer) and beat unto a cake-like batter. While mixing the Flour, if the Consistency is tight, add little water and mix manually (Not using an Electric Mixer). When all the flour is well incorporated, Using an Electric Mixer, Mix for 3 to 4 minutes. You can still mix using a Whisk if you don't have an Electric (Hand) mixer.
Add the Tutty Fruity, Nuts and Saffron Milk Mixture, Color Powder and Mix gently.
Pour the mixture into a greased cake pan and bake it in preheated oven at 360 F for Approximately 35 to 40 minutes.
Use a Skewer to see if the Cake is done. When inserted into the Cake, and if nothing is clinging to the skewer and the Cake has a golden color crest on the top, it means the Cake is done.
Take it out from the Oven and let it cool down for 10 minutes and toss the cake upside down and let cool completely. Slice and Serve. Do frosting and Icing if you prefer.
NOTE:
Do not grease too much as it will form a thick brown crest even before the cake is fully done.
If using a Motorized Mixer, Mix the batter only in one direction. If it is a double blade mixer, remove one blade. This will incorporate more air in the batter.
Do not level the cake, If the consistency is right this will not be needed.

Hi Mathreyee,
Your cake looks delicious and the texture has come out really well. Even I dont use eggs and am in the constant hunt for egg-less recipes, like u said egg-substitutes only compromise on the taste and texture and arent of much use. I am surely going to try out your recipe in the next few days :-) Thank you soo much.

hey wwwwwowwww
this is first time i m in ur blog
looks wonderful
i have missed it all these days
thanks for the wonderful eggless cake recipe
Hi Mythreyee,
I tried the cake last night, but it sadly was a flop :-(( I had to take it out of the oven in about 15 mins as the crust was already getting brown, but the insides werent cooked. I preheated the oven to 350deg and continued to bake at that temp. It was probably too hot in there and so the bottom crust was getting burnt at a fast rate :-(
Will try it out again once I buy a second tin of condensed milk !!
Sorry about that Priya. I have edited the procedure for better results. I am sure this will work out. thanks a lot for your feedback.
mythree :

Cheers
Seema
thanks seema.
Hi, First time at ur blog (came thru Nandita's ) Ur cake looks very nice, must try!
hey this cake looks so yummy I wish I could grab it from the screen and eat it. Waiting for more eggless cake.
Hi
Nice recipe. Can you clarify how big the condensed milk tin should be ? is it the big or small tin ? Also what is Tutti Fruity ? Thanks for your input.
Regards
Thanks for dropping by.
The condensed Milk can is the 14 oz. 7 oz is required for this recipe.
In India we buy Tutty Fruity which are very small, cubed, coloured fruit gums. In America, I find these in the fruit cakes. Its kinda like gummy bears but a little bigger than tutty fruity.
For your information. This cake is not like the moist cake. Its soft sponge in the inside and a little crusty on the outside.
Thanks. Its looks like an easy method.
Just a query - how long should I bake using microwave oven?
- Revathi
I have not baked in microwave oven. I am not sure about that. Sorry.

Thanks a lot.
Mythreyee.
hi this is sakthi ,
jus visited your blog by chance , really liked the recipie , will try it and let u know the result ...
luvd ur recipe.am planning to giv it a shot.i hv the foll Qs. Kindly help me
How long can i keep this cake?I mean shelf-life?
Im a newbie in cake baking.wat is the consistency of this cake batter?
Hi Priya, The shelf life for this cake is 2 days when kept in airtight container at room temperature. Don't have to refrigerate. The consistency should not be too thick or too thin. When you transfer from mixing bowl to the cake pan, it should level by itself. You should not be patting it smooth. At the same time the consistency should not be thin. Hope this helps. Thanks.
Hi Mythreyee,
I was just going thru your Eggless saffron walnut cake. One query pls You have mentioned the 1/3rd butter in your recipe. Is 1/3rd more than 1/2 cup or less than 1/2 cup. Another query is the a pinch of yellow/lemon color powder. What is this powder about. Is it available in the market. Pls reply since I want to try this delicious cake over the weekend.
Vanessa
