I love baking cakes that remind me of why I started baking in the first place. And nothing fits the idea better than a basic eggless vanilla sponge cake that requires minimal ingredients and is perfect for all types of occasions! This has to be my favorite eggless recipes and definitely one of the best on the website.

For the longest time, eggless recipes have been the most frequently asked-for recipes on my Instagram as well as the blog and this back to basics eggless vanilla sponge cake recipe is one recipe that you should bookmark as it is simple, easy and super delicious. Making eggless cakes is a unique process because of the egg substitutes, but the results are equally tasty. Top it up with some fancy Vanilla Buttercream or keep it simple with a simple spread of chocolate ganache – this cake will surely be a delight!

This eggless vanilla sponge cake is

  • light
  • fluffy
  • simple to make
  • does not need condensed milk

Ingredients for this Eggless Vanilla Sponge Cake

Traditionally, a sponge cake has both egg whites and egg yolks whipped in it separately. This is what makes a it airy and light. Since this is an eggless recipe, I used yogurt instead of eggs. Yogurt is a great alternative and one of the most common ingredients used as a substitute for eggs. It gives the cake a very similar texture and makes it fluffy and light.

Wondering about more egg substitutes? There is an entire blog post dedicated to that and I know it will give you a better understanding of the entire thing!

Baking tips to get your Eggless Vanilla Sponge Cake right

  • Before making this eggless vanilla sponge cake, make sure you line your baking tin with parchment paper. If you don’t have parchment paper, you can brush the pan generously with melted butter/ oil.
  • Make sure all your ingredients, including yogurt, are at room temperature. This is important because room temperature ingredients emulsify better.
  • While combining dry and wet ingredients, be sure to NOT over-mix. By over-mixing, you will knock out all the air and land up with a dense cake. Simply use an offset spatula and gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients.
  • Let the cake cool completely before you start frosting it.

In case you are a beginner at baking, you can always check out the Baking tips for beginners article on the blog to know and understand concepts better.

  • It is always so much fun to get into the kitchen with my mum and bake something with her. I remember I used to sit on the counter and watch her bake as kid. This time we got our hands on @figarooliveoil and baked a delicious almond-olive oil cake! Contrary to what some of us may think, olive oil doesn’t really alter the taste or smell of the dessert. In fact, it goes so well with anything fruity- like with blackberries here but you could pair it with anything. Strawberries would be a great addition to this cake actually!  #SimplyChooseFigaro
