Hello, By fatless cake recipe, we mean the one using no butter/ oil or any fat. Only three major ingredients - eggs, flour and sugar are used.

Sponge cake without Baking Powder ? This recipe must be reserved for the experts only. There are so many caveats - Egg temperature, method of folding flour - timing. Oven temperature and even the cake tin. Please state these cautionary warnings. It is not that this recipe is not possible ? But if you have the skills to make it a success, then you would not be reading this column ! Even then the egg smell will need special handling.

Hello Pooja, This is a tried and tested recipe from our kitchen. We have tried this recipe here many times and you can always increase the quantity of vanilla essence to not deal with that eggy smell.

Can I replace the caster sugar with brown sugar? Also, can I use half whole wheat flour and half all purpose flour to make up the 3/4 cup of flour?

Why do my cake shrink after cooling

Tarla Dalal
March 13, 2025, midnight
It happens when you have used little more baking powder or baking soda and also at times when you keep opening the oven many times when the cake is getting baked?

Hi, I tried this cake today. It was hard. I baked it for 20 mins in 200. I had preheated the oven. After beating egg and castor sugar, quantity had doubled. Not sure of the reason. Yukthi
