What makes eggless cake spongy?
If your cake doesn’t rise much at all and leads to gummy or mushy cake then most likely the baking powder is too old. Do not add the all dry ingredients at once. Combine all the dry ingredients separately and then add this mixture little by little to the wet mix.
Why eggless cakes are not fluffy?
Because of the absence of eggs in the batter, there are more chances of eggless cake not turning super spongy. Therefore, make sure you preheat the oven and place the cake as much as possible, in the center of the pan. However, make sure you beat the fat and sugar batter for a frothier texture.

Why is my sponge cake wet on top?
This wet ring in cakes can be caused by the cake settling after baking. A cake settles dramatically like this when the eggs, butter and sugar are over creamed. To prevent this, cream these together slowly (no higher than medium speed on your mixer) and then gently fold or mix in your dry ingredients.
Can I use milk instead of condensed milk?
Yes, you can use regular milk in place of condensed milk. For better results, use whole milk and reduce it down to a cup. If you want unsweetened condensed milk, that’s all you need, but for sweetened, mix it with ⅔ cup of sugar, preferably one that melts easily.
What makes a cake Fluffy?
Most cakes begin with creaming butter and sugar together. Butter is capable of holding air and the creaming process is when butter traps that air. While baking, that trapped air expands and produces a fluffy cake.
