That’s a very nice cake recipe Gayathri..I can never get tired of your eggless recipes..:)..keep them coming!
I thought Genoise cakes by default needed eggs.. Yours looks so soft and perfect. Bookmarked!!
Half cup butter means do we have to dilute the butter and use?
Awaiting your reply to try this.
Hi Geeven, You need to let the butter come to room temperature. Then it will become soft. Now take a measuring cup, measure out 1/2 cup of butter and use it in the recipe…
Thank you. Bookmarked.

Lovely cake bookmarking looks so soft and moist.
I thought Genoise was a dry cake, with eggs as the main component. Replacing 4 eggs is no easy task and you seem to have done it..
This cake can be a base for so many desserts. One more addition to my collection of eggless cakes.
Bookmarked Gayatri. Its amazing I love the pics and it looks so delicious.
