Few days back when i was talking to my friend who recently got a baking oven, asked me a recipe of a basic cake recipe. I suggested a few eggless baking recipes from my blog . But i wanted to try a a basic eggless vanilla sponge cake too. I already tried this Vanilla sponge cake from here and i thought i will make it again and blog the recipe too.
This cake turned out super soft and moist. I wanted to bake it in a loaf pan, but ended up baking in a round spring foam pan only. I added little tutti fruitty to the cake. You can skip that and bake a plain cake too.
While uploading the pictures i realized that this is my 300th post too.
Thanks Sharmi for the perfect recipe. We enjoyed the cake very much.
INGREDIENTS:
| ALL PURPOSE FLOUR(MAIDA) | 1 AND 1/2 CUP |
| YOGURT | 1 CUP |
| SUGAR | 3/4 CUP |
| BAKING SODA | 1/2 TSP |
| BAKING POWDER | 1 AND 1/2 TSP |
| COOKING OIL | 1/2 CUP |
| VANILLA ESSENCE | 1 AND 1/2 TSP |
| MILK | 1 TSP |
| TUTTI FRUITY | 1 TBLSP(Optional) |
METHOD:
- Cream sugar and yogurt ( use yogurt in room temperature) till the sugar gets dissolved.
- Add baking powder and baking soda to this mixture and mix well.
- Keep it aside for 5 minutes.
- Add vanilla essence.
- Add oil to this.
- In a wide bowl add the flour and slowly add the wet mixture to the flour.
- Mix well to get a creamy texture.
- Add tutti fruity to this and mix well.( if using)
- Pre heat the oven to 180 degree C for 10 minutes.
- Grease the baking pan and dust it with flour.
- Transfer the cake mixture to the baking tin.
- Bake it for 35 –40 minutes at 180 degrees C till the center gets completely cooked. Check it by inserting a tooth pick in the center. If it comes out clean then it is cooked.
- After 20 minutes just brush the top of the cake with milk to get a glaze.
- when it is completely cooled keep it in the refrigerator for 3 hours and cut the cake.
- This step will make it to get perfect pieces without crumbles.
- But i didn’t do as i have to click soon as the weather was getting bad and it was about to rain. (Natural light will work out best for pictures)
Note:
- Never allow the batter to sit for a long time as this will make the cake hard.
- 3/4 th cup of sugar is normally perfect but i prefer to have little extra and so you can make it as 1 cup also.
- The taste of yogurt will not be felt in the cake so you can move on to try out this recipe without any second thought.
Delicious cake, Congrats on your 300th post and keep going……..
I've tried this too from sharmi's blog and loved it.
awesome cake… did you use fat free yogurt ? Or does it not matter…
Will give it a try ! Looks too good…
Hi,
I used normal home made yogurt made with full cream milk only. But the original recipe has mentioned we can use nestle yogurt too which is normally low fat

Hi jeyashri
Atlast i did the cake. It came out very well. pretty soft inside with good crust. just now made it(had a bite). i cannot wait for the kids reaction they r in school). Cake with no butter or egg… sign me in. Thanks for the receipe.
kids gave thumbs up.. one variation i did is added 1/2 cup of whole wheat flour, 1 cup of apf. i think adding coarsely chopped nuts will give some boost too… thanks once again for a very easy cake.
Thats great to know suja. Adding whole wheat flour sounds a nice idea too. Glad that ur kiddos enjoyed. Thank u so much for the feed back
I would be appreciating all of your articles and blogs because they are fitting up mark.

hello jeyshri,
tried this recipe twice in two days, back to back..a very good one. the best thing for me was that it need not be blended with a blender..which is such a hazzle to clean later.
Hello jeyshrij,
thanks for the nice recipe……the cake was very soft…
however, the top of the cake got over baked….how can we avoid this….
Sorry for the delayed reply.Missed it some how. To avoid over cooking of the top bring the temp. low and cook little extra few minutes.Else change the baking mode to the down part.(ie. the filament should kept in the bottom mode)
Really excellent, Jeyashri. I tried this for the first time and substituted 1/2 c. butter for the oil, used some yogurt I made that was sour that did not take, and added some shredded coconut at the end (about 3 T.) instead of tutti fruity. Really delicious. Thanks so much.
The cake came out well thanks! Anyways I'm new too baking, I would like to know if I doubled the quantities would it make any difference in the baking time or Centigrade? Once again thanks!
Hi,
sorry for the delay. If u double quantity the baking time will differ but not double. But bake in the same temperature mentioned. Centigrade will not change
Thanks for sharing this recipe, it looks delicious! I used to bake the eggless cake with condensed milk. Now I am going to try with your healthier choice:)
Please check my recipe on http://www.vegifood4u.com
Cheers,
Hi Jeyashri,
I tried this on Saturday, just the way you mentioned. The cake turned out super soft. It was enjoyed by my family.
Thanks.
At what temperature you have to bake this cake?
Thanks
can i use self raising flour instead of all purpose flour? b'coz i wrongly bought self raising flour.
You can use self raising flour ,Self-raising flour contains baking powder , Of course you need to check that the baking powder you add to the plain flour . Self-rising flour also contains added salt which can lead to some of the recipes tasting a little too salty if this flour is used.
(1 cup) plain flour plus 2 teaspoons baking powder to replace self-raising flour in recipes. Hope it works for you
Thanks jeyashri. I tried it with using self raising flour. It came out very well.
I tried the same recipe.. It was super yum. Thanks for the recipe. I'm updating this adapted recipe in my blog. hope you are fine with that jeyashri.
But I had to bake in a pressure cooker. Still I'm quite satisfied!
Hi Jeyashri, The cake was awesome! Thanks for the recipe!!

Hi jeyshri.. I need to make a bigger cake.. can I double the recipie .in that case do I double up baking pwd and baking soda??
Yes you need to double all the ingredients
Hi can u plz suggest me how to bake the above recipe using pressure cooker..it will be much helpful to me jeyashri….
Will surely post soon
Hi, Thank you for such a delicious looking vanilla cake recipe. My concern is can it be carved and used under fondant.
Hi jeyashri…
I made this cake yesterday. But turned out to be disaster ( newbie in cooking :((
i observed following :
1. Cake was not cooked inside though the fork came our clean when inserted.
2. Cake was brown /hard outside but had lot of cracks.
3. It had strong taste of coconut oil ( i used coconut oil)
I didn't use fresh yogurt instead used yogurt which was kept outside for couple of days. Is that the reason?
Hi Thanks for the message.
1. The reason for the cake not cooked inside is the temperature must be set high and not cooked evenly on both sides.
2. Crack happens when you pen the door of the oven frequently and also over mixing of the batter. Out side brown also happens when you keep the temperature high.
3. I never used coconut oil in baking, so may be because of that you should get that.
4. Over fermented batter may affect the outcome but i am not sure. But always use fresh ones
WOW!!. thank you so much. for sharing this very good recipe of making vanila cake. i really liked this page. I will try for sure to make good cake with help these recipe.
Thanks!!

Hi Jeyashri,
I have tried this recipe of yours and my cake came out perfect! I wanted to bake a slightly bigger cake this time, about 2 cups of flour. Can you please help me with how I could adjust the other ingredients please?
Thanks!
Thanks for trying out. Generally for baking we follow exact measurements. If u want to double you can do. I have never tried though
My oven doesn't have any Preheat mode. What should I do?? Thanks for your time.
No worries, just start baking. May be it will take little extra time to bake. Just watch out
What should be the quantity of ingredients in grams for a 1 kg cake. Also should I line my stainless bowl with aluminium foil while baking in pressure cooker
i tried the same recipe..& it was really awesome experience to relish such a lovely cake…n it was really a deliciuos cake…
hai jeyashri,
im a beginner to baking. im using Morphy Richard 25CG oven. at what temperature shall i bake the cakes? because i set it for 180C the top layer of the cake getting brown and the bottom is not cooked properly. whether i have to reduce the temperature or cover the cake with silver foil while initial baking?
Hi baking differs from oven to oven. If you feel at 180 degree it is burning fast reduce to 160 and increase the cooking time. I have never baked cake by covering it. It's like frying vada in high flame, the outer part gets brown fast and inside will be uncooked. So reduce the temperature a bit and increase the time.
Hi.. We had to use the hang curd or normal curd
Just normal room temperature yogurt is fine.
Tried it…came out perfect!! 🙂 Thank you so much for sharing 🙂
