Eggless Whole Wheat Vanilla Cake

This eggless cake is so spongy and tastes yummy, you can add some chocolate chips for extra taste, it is made with whole wheat flour and
sweetened with condensed milk. Preheat your oven to 170 degrees Celcius then sift dry ingredients into a bowl. Sifting the flour is very important because it will help the mixture light and airy which will result in a fluffy cake, add in sugar and whisk it in.

In a separate bowl add buttermilk, to that add oil, you can use any flavourless oil then add vanilla extract for flavouring then mix until everything is combined. Create a well at the centre of the dry ingredients then pour the wet ingredients in then using a spatula, fold everything in gently just until they dry ingredients are moistened then you should stop mixing.

You will need a 7-inch round cake tin that is buttered the lined with parchment paper then pour in the mixture and bake it in preheated 170 degrees Celcius oven for 45 to 50 minutes. Since every oven is different, start keeping an eye on the cake from the 40th minute just to make surer the cake does not over bake and burn.

Once out of the oven, let the cake cool for at least ten minutes then remove the cake from the pan. Use an offset spatula to run it in the inside of the pan to free the cake then flip it on a plate.
