Hi Aarthi… i follow your recipes and try them too they are all just so amazing. I wanted a suggestion from you that if i bake an eggless vanilla sponge cake what kind of frosting should i do on it…???
am a big fan of ur blog and i love ur recipes. I have tried many and they came out amazing. I actually wanted a suggestion from you that if i bake an eggless vanilla sponge cake so what frosting should i do on the cake among those which u have posted.

@Heena Mohindrau can go for chocolate butter cream or vanilla butter cream, whipped cream or chocolate ganache
Can we have this cake without the frosting also? like a simple plain vanilla cake we get in bakeries?
@Anonymousyes u can have
Hello Aarthi !
I am a regular follower of your blog. ..a secret admirer! I tried this cake today. ..but not sure why the center part took very long to bake. About 50 minutes actually. The upper part has become crispy. What would be the reason? ?
@Anonymous i think u must have messed with measurements. try it once more.
Hi Aarthi! If I follow the original recipe, which measurement tin should I use?
this will make two 18 cm cake
Hi Aarthi… I started following your blog recently and Amazed by your recipe collection .. Your recipes are very tempting 😊. I tried this cake today n it came out well 😊 Keep posting 😊😊

Awesome recipie!
Can you tell how many pieces can I cut from this cake?

Can we do frosting by cutting them without doubling the recipie? I am using 20 vm square tin
Have tried this recipe. Comes out good each time!!! Love you!!!!
I am trying this recipe in oven. Not microwave, but oven. The outer crust has formed v good, but inside the cake is still v liquid. I have already baked for 40 mins. Please advise
