Eggless Berry Cake Recipe: Two Easy Ways to Bake at Home

Food content creator Uma Raghuraman shares a beginner-friendly recipe that's perfect for anyone who loves baking without the fuss. This Eggless Berry Cake can be made in two ways: using an oven or on the stovetop, making it accessible for every home baker. Moist, spongy, and bursting with berry goodness, this cake is a treat you'll want to bake again and again.

Why This Recipe Works:

The beauty of this recipe lies in its simplicity and versatility. You can use fresh or frozen berries and choose a single variety or a mix for a vibrant flavor profile. The combination of curd, milk, and a hint of vanilla essence ensures a soft, airy texture without eggs. For added indulgence, Uma suggests garnishing with chocolate chips or finishing with a drizzle of syrup.

Ingredients at a Glance:

• Flour (Maida): 1 cup
• Sugar: ¾ cup (adjust based on berry sweetness)
• Baking Powder & Soda: For that perfect rise
• Curd & Milk: To achieve ribbon-like batter consistency
• Vanilla Essence: For aroma
• Berries: 1 cup (fresh or frozen)
• Optional: Cream for richness, buttercream frosting, or icing sugar dusting.

Two Ways to Bake:

Stovetop Method: Preheat a heavy-bottomed kadai with a stand inside. Place the cake tin, cover, and cook on low flame for about 45 minutes. Check with a toothpick after 35 minutes for doneness.

Oven Method: Preheat at 200°C for 10 minutes, then bake at 170–180°C for 35–40 minutes. Always test with a toothpick before removing.

Chef's Tips:

Keep an eye on the cake after 30 minutes, as baking times vary by oven or stove.

For extra flavor, add a light frosting or dust with icing sugar before serving.

This recipe is not just easy; it's fun to make with kids and guarantees a delicious result every time. Whether you're a seasoned baker or a beginner, Uma Raghuraman's Eggless Berry Cake is a must-try for your next tea-time treat.
