Notes
Possible substitutes –
Melted butter can be used in place of oil – just skip salt
Instead of apf and white corn flour together you can use 1 1/2 cup cake flour
You can substitute the apf and corn flour with wheat flour – 1 1/4 cup in total – of course there will be a variation in texture but tastes great – good options to make for your kids.
If you don’t have corn flour ( cornstarch) , you can skip it and use 1 1/2 cups of apf/ maida.
Important tips to make the best eggless vanilla cake & cupcakes
- Use blender with whipping attachment and not the beater attachment.
- Doesn’t matter if its a hand held or a stand mixer – both will give you same results.
- All ingredients have to be at room temperature or not too cold including yogurt /curd.
- Sift the flour from a height – results into fluffy bakesMix dry ingredients well before incorporating in the wet ones.
- Act quickly once the batter is mixed because the leavening agents start reacting as soon as they come in contact with something acidic – here its yogurt.
- Pre-heat your oven at least for 15 mins Do not over mix the batter -after putting dry ingredients to the wet ones whip until the batter is lump-free – for me its less than 30 secs.
- Do not over bake – it dries out the baked goods.
- You can even add almond flavoring or some lemon or orange zest.
- Please do not open your oven to check standard size cupcakes before 15 mins mark .
- Keep checking after every minute later by inserting toothpick in the center most cupcake.
