    sorry but i have a doubt. i have seen this recipe on other sites too but it mentions baking powder = 2.5 tsp instead of 2 tsp. i am confused.which is right?

    Hi Vijitha

    Thanks a lot for the recipe. It was very easy to find it on the net – just gave “eggless cakes” and got your site.

    I would very much try baking it. But pleas let me know exactly what flour I should be using. I am very much new to all this.

    I would very much appreciate it if you can get back to me.

    Thanks!

    dear viji,

    can you pls tell me how to make the whip cream for decoration? ur cake looks yummy. is thr a way we can make the whip cream without using electric blender?

    thanks

    1. Vijitha

      Hi Shalini,

      You can make whipped cream using blender(Mixie.. preferably juice jar) also. First you have to refrigerate the jar so that it will be very chill. Then just blend the heavy cream for few minutes. Now add sugar, few drops of vanilla essnce and whip for few more minutes. But electric blender will give very good result.VIJI

    Hi viji, I tried this cake for New Year …By the way Very Happy n Prosperous New year 2008 to u . Cake taste was very nice. I dressed with whipped cream and on the top i decorated with strawberry slices as u said. But … it was hard not like the sponge cake feel. I used baking soda instead of baking powder(I don't know if both are same or different) and i think it requires better mixing than i did.Anyways i will try next time and i will tell u the outcome.But taste was really good viji .Thank u .Have a nice day.

    man ..u r cake is awesome….what is that u have in u r hands….:)

      I too tried ..but something went wrong…Might be because of Strawberries…those were a bit sour.. Suggest me where can i find better ones…. then i can try again …

    1. Vijitha

      Hi Bhargavi, If you are not able to find good strawberries go for frozen one.I used to get strawberries from nearby vegetable farms. If its a bit sour means soak it in sugar for few more mins. Hope it will take out the sourness. Better luck next time VIJI

    It turned out well… Thank you….. we decorated too.. i like decoration…. so we did….

    we tried half of it with pineapple too.. it turned out well…for pine apple, we added green colourin also some apple (not pine apple)essence…. trust me it was awesome… i added lime too as u mentioned here.

    i mixed yellow colouring to the whip cream also some pine apple essense… and decorated. it was good… but unfortunately before i take pic our guys ran away with the cake…nxt time we are not lettin any inside our hse until i take a pic….

    Aunt only baked in gas oven… i really have no clue how to bake once she leaves… i saw ms.malika bathirinath usin microwave to bake cake. but cant remember how she did… do u kno how to use microwave to bake cake.. if so kindly let me kno pls….Thanks again..

    Merry X mas,,,

      Hi Manoo. Glad to hear from you that it turned out well. Now you are expert in baking too. cake rani aakitinga. Next time try 3 layer cake. One with starwberry, other with pineapple, and the other with chocolate or with plain vanilla. And the layer should be less than 2 cm thickness. It will taste yummy.

      Oh very innovative idea for mixing colours.

      Even i have seen in TV bout microwave cakes. I havent tried that yet. Will try it after some time ma. Now our house is filled with cakes and i know for sure we will get more cakes from friends too Smile.

      Will try it after sometime and let you know ma. We have to add more buttermilk and milk when we bake cake in microwave.

      Merry Christmas and joyful 2008

    hi viji,
    Lovely & tempting pic.I love pista cake.Is it the same method to prepare layered creamy pista cake.
    and 1 more question.If adding egg can u suggest how many to add.
    lots of thanks,
    Nithya.

    1. Vijitha

      Hi Nithya,

      While making cake with eggs you can easily remember the ingredients as 1234

      1 cup oil or melted butter
      2 cups of sugar
      3 cups maida
      4 eggs

      Along with that you need to add 1.5 tsp of vanilla essence (just to take off the egg smell), baking powder, nuts (according to your wish), dried raisins and a pinch of salt.

      I haven't tried pistachio cake yet.You can try and let me know the results.

    sitara

    1. Vijitha

      Hi sithra,

      I tot of telling Oh my God.. Smile. just kidding. No strawberries, no non-veg. Hmm . I haven't tried egg less cake recipe other than with strawberry and banana. Thank God you like nutsSmile. If you are not using strawberries please omit that strawberry essence and add few more drops of vanilla extract. Add more chopped nuts like pecan,walnut,almond, cashew, dried cherry. Give a try and let me know how it came out. Awaiting to hear results from you.  VIJI

      Hi Sudha. U r very much welcome. Better go for fresh strawberries when making this cake. If you love nuts and dry fruits like cherries go ahead and mix it. I love nuts. specially cashew and almond. Chop it and mix it with the batter along with the chopped strawberries to get nutty taste. 

      Thanks for your wishes. Merry Christmas and happy new year to u and to ur family also. And all the best for your 2008 cake. If you are interested in decorating the cake, you can cover the cake with whipped cream or vanilla frosting from the shop. On top of it decorate with strawberries.(Slice the strawberry into 2 and stick it on top of the whipped or frosting cream).
