I remember when I was a kid and mom used to bake this delicious sponge cake. I came running from outdoor just by it's heavenly freshly baked smell. We all know that there are various recipes for egg cakes but eggless cakes turns out not so good due to absence of eggs or incorrect proportion of the ingredients. Also my mom makes this in the round cake oven not in the microwave as in the normal oven, the cake rises more and is more spongy than that of microwave, tried and tested. This recipe of my mom's is my favorite and I love to bake it. So let's get started, and also don't forget to try it out and tell on my Instagram blog @rourkela_foodie ,how it turned out to be !! #spicylatika #traditional #ilovecooking
