Eggless Chai Cake Recipe
Eggless Chai Cake
When it comes to baking,I have no hard and fast rules.Though I am a vegetarian and do not eat eggs,I relax the rule when I bake.Initially when I was taking baby steps in baking,I wrongly assumed it was the lack of eggs which was the cause of my failed baking trials.Slowly I got comfortable using eggs and with the right recipes,everything fell into place.
Once I got comfortable with regular baking recipes,I wanted to try out eggless recipes too for my parents and family who did not eat eggs.Again,with the right recipes I succeeded there too.Eggless cakes,according to me taste just as delicious as their eggy counterparts.You just need a few basic recipes and then you can tweak them according to your choice.
However,the day I decided to bake this cake was the day the power gods were playing tricks.With so many power outbreaks while the cake was inside the oven,the end product suffered a bit.The cake turned out slightly dense as you can see.I decided to post it here anyway because the taste was outstanding.With the slight hint of cardamom in the tea and the addition of condensed milk,it almost tasted like a cake version of an Indian sweet!
