Ingredients:
Cake Flour-1 1/2cups
Milk-3tbs
Butter Milk-1/4cup(substitute for 1 egg)
Milk-1/4cup + 1tsp Vinegar(substitute for 1 egg)
Curd-1/4cup(substitute for 1 egg)
Baking Powder-1tsp
Baking Soda-1/4tsp
Sugar-3/4cup
Salt-1/4tsp
Vanilla-1 1/2tsp
Unsalted Butter-13tbs/ 185gm
Procedure:
1. Preheat oven to 175C.
2. Grease and dust an 8″ * 4″ * 2.5″ loaf pan (this was the size of pan mentioned in the recipe) but I used 7″ * 3″ * 1.5″ loaf pan and a smaller loaf pan measuring 6″ * 2.5″ * 1.5″(these were the pans I had, so I got two cakes slightly different in size)
3. Cake Flour: Take 1 1/2cups of flour and remove 3tbs flour from it. Substitute the removed flour with 3 tbs corn flour. Sift it thrice.
4. In a large bowl take all the dry ingredients and with a hand mixer beat it for 30seconds.
5. Add all the substitutes of egg along with vanilla and 3tbs milk and whisk lightly.
6. Add butter and 1/3rd liquid to the dry ingredients and beat on low speed till well combined. Then beat the mixer on medium speed for one minute. This helps in aerating the mixture and develop the cake’s texture.
7. Add 1/3rd liquid and beat for 20seconds.
8. Add the remaining liquid and beat again for 20seconds.
9. Pour into prepared pan and smooth the surface.
10. Bake for 30-35minutes. (after 15 minutes cover the cake with aluminium foil to avoid browning fast) The smaller pan can be removed 5 minutes before the larger pan.
11. Cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes before flipping.
12. Grease the wire rack and flip the cake on it and again flip the cake to bring the top to top.
13. Let it cool completely and serve.

The cake looks so perfect that it’s hard to believe it is eggless. But I have a question Gayatri. You have mentioned 1/4tsp curd. Is it 1/4tsp of 1/4 cup? I’ll be waiting for your response. Thanks again 🙂

Hey Gayatri I tried your egg substitutes on a cake that I will be posting soon. Love it. My niece was so happy. Thanks.
Hi Gayatri, you have mentioned egg subtitutes. If I have to use egg, should I use 3 eggs or just one?
Use three eggs and omit milk, buttermilk and curd.
Hi Gayatri…. corn fl is white corn starch or the yellow corn fl. am so eager to make eggless baking…thanx…
Where would I find curd?
Curd is nothing but yogurt. You can find it in any departmental store…
Mmh! Seems no-one has tried to make the pound cake! NOT GOOD?
can i omit vinegar and try this one?i dont have vinegar..
lakshmikumar
U can use lemon juice instead of vinegar
without vinegar can i try this recipe?i don’t have vinegar…
lakshmikumar
Hi Lakshmi, Instead of milk vinegar mixture you can use another 1/4 cup of curd. So in the recipe you have to use 1/2 cup of curd which will be substitute for 2 eggs..
Hi Gayathri, how was the buttermilk prepared here?
Hi Megha, You can add some water to curd and whisk it to make buttermilk..
Can we use 3 eggs ibsteax of subsitutes
Sure Shivani, you can use…
hi.. i want to make eggless Cranberry lemon pound cake wht changes should I make in the above recipe. pls guide. thanks
Substitute 3 tbs milk with lemon juice and add a tsp of lemon zest. Add 1/2 cup of dried cranberries rolled in flour at the final stage of mixing. And then bake.
Gayathri, can we try rusk with this pound Cake?
Yes, you can Deeksha.
hi. i want to clarify — 1/4 cup buttermilk and again 1/4 cup milk + vinegar. so can i use 1/2 cup of buttermilk?
thanks.
Yes, you can use..
Hi Gayatri, one query. Can I use cake flour if using flax gel for egg. Also how many tbsp of flax gel ideal to substitute 1 egg?
You can use cake flour. And for one egg it is 3 tbs of the gel.
Hi can plain maida b used in place of cake flour
Yes, you can use.
Hi Mam, thank u for this delicious receipe. I have a query on the shelf life of the cake. Traditional pound cakes made with eggs stat good at room temperature for many days. Since the eggless version has buttermilk, curd, etc, what will be the shelf life of the eggfree pound cake?
This can be kept at room temp for one day max. Refrigerate the cake.
This was the best ever eggless cake I have ever tasted .Made it today and came super soft and moist .So yummy !Thank you Gayathri for sharing your knowledge with us !Love from Sri Lankau. I
That is wonderful. Thanks for trying the recipe.
You have mentioned to first beat all the dry ingredients for 30 sec. I am confused… this should be wet ingredients?
You need to mix the dry ingredients and then add wet ingredients
What is cake flour Ma’am
It is a lighter flour than all purpose flour/maida. We can make it by mixing 1 tbs of corn flour to one cup maida.
