Eggless Cake Success Tips

Measure the ingredients correctly. I highly recommend using a kitchen scale.

Preheat the oven for at least 15 minutes before getting started to give it plenty of time to reach the ideal recipe temperature.

Don’t overmix the batter. Instead, mix just until you’ve evenly distributed the ingredients throughout the batter.

Bake the batter as soon as it is ready.

Don’t open the oven door until your baked good has set. Leave the oven closed until the minimum time is stated in the recipe.

Every oven is different, so baking times always have to be taken with a grain of salt. Oven thermostats can be wildly off, affecting baking time, so keep an eye on yours.
