Simple Eggless sponge cake

Yesterday was my son's 17th month birthday.I still remember the day i had him in my arms right after he was born and today he has turned into a smart and handsome gentleman.This little boy loves to eat new and tasty and that always leaves me in a big puzzle.So yesterday to make my son happy i baked a under a hour cake for him.

When it was cool enough i turned it upside down and my little angel started clapping his hands.He in his sign language was telling me to give him a bite.I somehow convinced him to wait for a while since i wanted no hot spots in my cake.

After an hour,i open a small packet of chocolate fudge and coated the upper outer layer and the laid a piece on a plate with a strawberry to top it.I offer this plate to my son and i could see a twinkle in his eyes.He has almost finished the cake with nothing for us.

Though this cake just takes less than an hour to be ready,the cooling part is crucial.A tip is to bake a cake the night before.By the time you wake up you have your sweet poison ready to be swallowed.

Note :I used vinegar as a egg substitute and the end result was soft spongy cake.

Ingredients:

1 cup All purpose flour

1 cup sugar(I use 3/4 cup as i like it semi-sweet)

2 tsp baking powder

3 tbsp oil (I prefer Crisco canola oil)

3/4 cup cold tap water

2 tbsp milk

1tbsp white distilled vinegar

1 tbsp vanilla essence

Method:

Sift the flour plus baking powder.In a large bowl add oil and sugar mix well.Add vanilla , the flour +baking powder mixture,half of the water,vinegar and milk.Mix well with a whisk or a hand blender.Add water as per requirement to make the batter similar to the dosa batter.The batter should neither be thick nor watery.After the mixture is mixed well you will see bubbles on the top and this instance pour the mixure in a greased cake mold.Bake in a preheated oven at 350 F for 30-40 mins or until you succeed in the toothpick test.Cool and unmold.
