So an attempt at egg less cake for the occasion of my DAD's birthday - I never believed home made cake without eggs could even taste good. But to my surprise - it was just flawless!
Here is the recipe for the egg-less cake which I tried my hands at.
You would need the following ingredients:
Another version which I made was adorned with red cherries and grated Hershey's chocolate.

Here is the recipe for the egg-less cake which I tried my hands at.
You would need the following ingredients:
- 3/4 cup maida
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup butter/oil/ghee
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla essence
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 cup sugar(powdered) - you can make this 3/4 cup if you prefer little less sweet
- 1 cup curd
Get the above ingredients ready. Along side mix the curd and the sugar.
Set the microwave oven to preheat mode. By the time you will be done with mixing the ingredients the microwave will be set for baking.
- Now take a baking bowl and add oil,baking powder,baking soda and a pinch of salt,next add the essence and maida in the above given measurements.
- Slowly add the curd and sugar mixture.
- Mix the batter well in one direction - and see that you get the proper folds while whipping. You can add little chocolate powder also to make it more chocolaty. :D :D
- Now dress the baking bowl with oil or butter with dab it with maida. This will prevent the cake from sticking to the base, while you are trying to get the cake out of the bowl.
- Transfer the mixture into your required size baking bowl, atop you can add dry fruits like - almonds,raisins,walnuts and cashew nuts.
Yummy!! I am already drooling thinking about it. :P :P
By now the microwave oven must be preheated with the required temperature. The next step of course would be putting the baking container in the microwave.
You would need to set it to convection mode for 20 minutes at 220 degrees.You might need to set it for another 10-20 depending on your microwave settings. My microwave oven needs 40 minutes of the convection time.
Do not rest in peace while this is being done. Keep checking at regular intervals if it is getting done appropriately or not.
Use a toothpick rather than a knife to check if all the sides and center of the cake is getting baked aptly or not. You might end up with few tiny-miny holes but never mind.

By 15 minutes, you would see that the cake is rising.
A tip : never fill the mixture in the baking container till the brim. Always leave room for it to rise.

Use your judgement to find the perfect moment to decide when it is done.
And finally VOILA - you have the cake ready!
