Very, very good. I’m happy I found your website. I do a lot of eggless baking. This is an easy & quick recipe to make. I normally sub. 1/4 cup sour cream for one egg. So for this recipe I used 3/4 cup sour cream instead of the tofu. Also some orange zest..mmmmmmmmm. I’ll be telling my friends….

Wow! I’m going to try this one definitely because mine was lightly uncooked because of the heaviness of the tofu I guess.

extrordinary!!thats the best word I can use.Madhuram, I tried this recipe merely because my silken tofu was about to expire, so wanted to
use it desperately. But not in my dream did i think that it would be soo soft inside & crisp out. All liked it, In fact my DH whoz not a fan of baked
stuff relished this very much. I made it yday night, it got over today eveing. hahaha…yum…yum…

Thank you so much Varsha. It’s good to know that it turned out good for you because I was not very thrilled with my pound cake. Maybe I cut it bit earlier and it looked slightly uncooked in the middle. Thank you once again for trying a lot of recipes from here.

hi,
delighted to find a website dedicated to eggless cooking, the cake looks decadent but i remember MR.Rakesh sethi of mirch masala mentioning a mixture of club soda and condensed milk in his eggless cake recipe, how does that work? i mean are soda and condensed milk e
egg replacers ?

Thanks Samata. I too have seen recipes with condensed milk and soda instead of eggs in baking recipes. I guess they act as an egg substitute but I’m not sure as to how much condensed milk or soda has to be used to replace each egg. Maybe around 1/4 cup condensed milk for 1 egg, but not sure about the soda.

Hi has any one made eggless and dairy free cake using cake mix eg duncan hines. i have tried with egg substitute EnerG but my cake crumbes down, does not come out right. please help me.

Asha, EnerG doesn’t work in all store bought mixes. It’s mentioned in the pack intself. Try using silken tofu.

Hi madhu, I came across u’r website i have two kids both allergic to eggs, milk,nuts etc i want to bake for them i tried using EnerG egg replacer the cake does not come out good it falls apart what is the reason or what can be used please help.

Asha, did you mean that you used EnerG in this pound cake recipe? If so may be there was not enough liquid/binding agent to hold the cake together. Sometimes even when the instructions in the EnerG packet mention that 1.5 teaspoons with 2 tablespoons water, the particular dough may need extra 2-3 tablespoons of liquid. Very shortly I’m going to post around 30 entries using EnerG and that includes a recipe for a pound cake, layered cake, chocolate cake from another blogger. Maybe you can try those recipes.

Hi Madhuram,
I baked the eggless pound cake today and it came out so well.
Only change that I made was to use applesauce instead of silken tofu(as per your suggestion for eggless chocolate cake) as I don’t get silken tofu here. Only problem was I could not make pieces like yours. It broke into small pieces when I treid to cut like bread loaf. I don’t know why. But the taste was so good. This is the first time I made vanilla cake without using milkmaid condensed milk, still the cake was so tasty.It got over in minutes. Thanks a lot for sharing this recipe.
Regards, Priya.

Hi Priya, I think you should have baked it for another 5 minutes and let it cool for some more time, even overnight. Or what you can do is try baking it in a cake pan or any other flat pan for half the time mentioned in the original recipe. Thanks for trying out the recipe.

Hi Madhu, I tried pound cake with four eggs..,followed different website. Girish and I don’t mind egg, but the egg taste and smell in this cake was too much that I decided not to use egg any more. Should try your eggless version, picture looks good.

Hi Shobi, how are you? If you are going to try with silken tofu bake for 3-4 minutes longer than I have mentioned. Mine was a little bit raw in the middle, even though the toothpick inserted came out clean. Or else try with soy milk. I’m thinking of trying the same recipe with EnerG egg replacer powder.

hi madhuram!
thanks for giving me an inspiration to bake more
i tried our POUND CAKE RECIPE… it has turned out pretty nice n buttery, but i faced 2 issues where i might need ur guidance, one is the cake half of the cake was baked well and looked grainy and the ohter half was moist and (was cooked but,,) soggy.
also wen i saw it being baked it got was rising well enough and looked spongy but wen i got it off the oven n let it cool it became flat.
could u help me as to where i must have gone wrong ? plz! thanks a lot

Hi Mahima, I also faced a similar problem, regarding not cooked well in the middle. That’s why I had mentioned to bake it for 60-62 minutes. Even though the toothpick came out clean after 55 minutes, I found that the centre was not baked. My pound cake also had a dome top but after sometime it became flat. I have mentioned this also in My Notes. I’m also not aware of the reason. I think tofu makes the end product very heavy. So I’m thinking of trying the same recipe with soy milk instead.

Hi
I have come across different cooking blogs and I really appreciate your honesty in that you let us know if it does not turn out good or when you did not follow the steps.. I really appreciate that!

Welcome Rajshri and thank you very much. I simply want to make a point that anybody can bake and everybody make mistakes and it’s from those mistakes only we can learn.
