Hey, the cake and frosting sounds almost fantastical, but i was a little concerned because i remember reading somewhere that one of the ingrediants in ovaltine is egg, infact that is where it got part of its name from – ovum- latin for egg.

In the 30th comment I have given the link to the ingredients list for the Ovaltine I have used and it does’nt have eggs in it. That being said I’m not sure if any of the chemicals mentioned there refers to egg in some form or the other.

Hi
Madhu..
Just a quick question. Can we Make the cake without putting Zucchini or Bottle Ground.

Sure Sheetal. I think it would be better to increase the amount of liquid in the recipe, around 1/4 cup may be.

Added to my previous question, Shall i omit Baking Powder and add some more Baking Soda. It was mentioned in one of the sites that baking powder makes the cakes denser. Can u clarify on this.

I’m not sure about this Nandhini. I thought that baking powder makes the cake airy.

Hi Madhuram,
This weekend i am planning to try this out. I havent tried anything from ur site after Vegan Date Cake. My sister is coming this weekend for a function at home and i want to prepare this cake for her kid. In ur ingredient, u mentioned whole wheat flour. Do u mean Whole wheat pastry flour or just whole wheat flour (which we use it for making parathas). As i live in India I wont get whole wheat pastry flour. Pl clarify. ( in ur previous reply u mentioned about using orange juice while using whole wheat flour).

Nandhini, I used the regular whole wheat flour. Also the substitute for whole wheat pastry flour is mixing maida and whole wheat flour in equal proportion. I read in King Arthur’s Wholegrain Baking that using orange juice will reduce the unpleasantness in taste and texture which occurs while using wheat flour. But I have not tried this so far. But this cake tasted good even without the addition of orange juice.

hey you should read the ingredients on the Ovaltine because Ovaltine has eggs. Hi Vidya, Here is the ingredient list for the Ovaltine that I used in this recipe. I did check for eggs while buying it - it didn't have them. Perhaps there is a scientific term for eggs which I don't know. Check it out and please let me know.

let me know the receipe for preparing Unsweetened Applesauce & Hot Coffee for the above cake.

Rakhi, if you live in North America unsweetened applesauce is available in stores. But it can also be prepared at home very easily. Just peel the apple and chop it. Cook it on stove top or microwave oven using little water and grind it smoothly.

For the coffee, just heat 1/4 cup of water and add little instant coffee powder and dissolve it.
