Hello, Please share a recipe for making a vegan lemon cake or a vegan almond cake for my baby’s first birthday. I would be grateful. Thanks and regards, Satvinder
I tried this recipe and it turned out delicious...just have a query to make other eggless cakes can we use curd instead of eggs ??
Can we use wheat flour instead of maida
Hello there, can we make this cake without using the oven. If yes please suggest I want to try this cake. It''s my favourite
I tried this recipe, and it''s amazing because of first it''s simple ingredients, which are readily available at home, and it''s amazing in taste too. just a suggestion, can the lemon flavor be increased by any means, as it has a very mild taste of it.
This eggless lemon cake is a fabulous recipe. I loved this cake mainly because of it''s lemon flavour. It is very different from the regular vanilla or chocolate cakes that we have. It has a very subtle flavour of lemon which is just perfect.
