Recipe notes and Baking Tips
- Make sure all your ingredients are at room temperature. It helps to get the good texture of the cake because we are not using eggs.
- I had added 3 tablespoon of sugar in this teacake which gives it just a moderately sweet taste. If you like your cake sweeter add 2 tablespoon more.
- While adding sugar take into consideration that we have added condensed milk which is already sweetened.
- I pretty much dump all ingredients one by one into a bowl and mix them to make this cake. Simply mix the ingredients with a spatula and you are good to go.
- Do not over beat the cake batter when you are making it without eggs because it sometimes makes the cake sink in the middle.
- Make sure to preheat the oven to keep the top of eggless cake even after baking.
- I do not glaze it at all, you can glaze it with simple syrup if you want to.

- Now top it with some crushed walnuts to give the top a crunchy texture taste and bake the cake in a preheated at 170C for 20-22minutes.

- The cake is ready to allow this to cool down first and then take it out of the cake tin and cut into slices and enjoy it with tea or coffee.

It’s a great recipe and he cake I baked turned out great! Thank you, I put blueberries and almonds instead of the dried fruits you mentioned (availability issue). One question though, is it possible to substitute butter with vegetable oil/olive oil?
