If you are searching for a perfect eggless almond sponge cake recipe from scratch then here you go. Here in this recipe the addition of almond meal (powdered almond) enhances the taste of the cake. This almond cake is too soft and spongy with perfect texture. I have seen many recipes with more quantity of condensed milk but here in my recipe I have used minimal for the rest I have used yogurt (if you don’t have condensed milk on handy replace with yogurt and increase sugar). So on the whole it’s a very yummy cake that I assure you…

Eggless Almond Sponge Cake Recipe From Scratch
Ingredients
APF/Maida – 2 Cups (I use unbleached APF, can replace 1/4 cup with almond flour)
Sweetened Condensed Milk -1/2 Cup (Replace with Yogurt + 1/4 Cup Regular Sugar)
Thick Yogurt – 1 Cup (I use homemade yogurt prepared from whole milk)
Melted Butter – From 1 Stick/1/2 Cup
Almond Meal – 1/3 Cup ( For blanching the almonds refer Here)
Baking Powder – 2and1/2tsp
Regular Sugar – 1/2 Cup
Almond Extract – 2tsp (Replace with Vanilla Extract)
Baking Soda – 3/4tsp
Salt – 1/4tsp
Optional Milk for cake batter consistency
The weather was so dull while clicking pictures 🙁 , Also I have few more pictures of cake slices may edit and upload soon…
Yields 1 – 8″ inch cake of almost 2″ height.
Method
- Mix flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a bowl.
- Melt the butter and allow them to cool completely.
- Soak the almond meal (i use homemade almond meal Pic 1) in 1/4 cup of warm milk for a while say 10 minutes and grind them to smooth paste (its optional to grind, you can add them directly as well).
- In a wide mixing bowl add yogurt, condensed milk , almond paste, almond extract or vanilla extract and mix them all together (Pic 2).
- Now add melted butter (Pic 2) and then sugar (Pic 3), mix them properly.
- Now add the flour mixture in batches to the wet mixture (Pic 4).
- You may not need electrical beater, ordinary whisk or even you can use mixie to make a pulse (Pic 5).
- Adjust the cake batter consistency (Pic 5) with milk if needed…
- Don’t over beat the flour with the wet ingredients.
- Now in prepared oven pour the cake batter (Pic 6) and in preheated oven bake at 350 F for 22-25 minutes or until the cake tester (tooth pick) inserted at the center comes out clean (Pic 7).
- Now allow the cake to cool in the cake pan for 10 minutes (Pic 7) and then flip it (Pic 9) and release the pan.
- Flip the cake and allow to cool completely may take 30-40 minutes (Pic 8).
- Once cooled make decorations of your own.
- I have topped this eggless almond sponge cake with mild sweetened whipped cream and blueberries and some powdered sugar over it.

Notes
- Dont use too watery yogurt, if doing so adjust the other wet ingredients, though the cake texture differs.
- Don’t make the cake batter too runny.
- Depending on the type of flour, quantity of butter and condensed milk the texture may vary for you from the output i got.
- Even the cake crust differs slightly because of the pan you use.
- For strong almond taste do replace another 1/2 cup flour with almond meal.
hi baked this recipe cake last night turned out ok i ended up adding lot of milk to make it more runny batter. tasted better next day
my only concern was the batter was thick and in your photos it’s it’s quite runny. what exactly should the consistency of batter be
Shilu thanks for trying this almond sponge cake. Please don’t make the cake batter runny. This recipe uses optional milk that means thick yogurt, melted butter and condensed milk are enough wet ingredients to prepare the batter. In case if the batter is too thick do dilute with milk(it depends on flour and almond meal you use). For time being you can refer eggless sponge cake video tutorial provided at the end of this post for right batter consistency. In near future i will try to add a video tutorial for this recipe.
hi !! i made this cake and it turned out super delicious. one of my best baKes till now. I was wondering if u can post a eggless almond flour chocolate cake recipe. will it be ok if i just add coco powder in this recipe and apple cider vinegar. what should be the proportion ? please please do post a recipe of chocolate cake with almond meal.
When to use 1/2 cup sugar mentioned in ingredients?
After adding melted butter and also refer step by step Pic 3!
Do we need to add sugar again in case we are using condensed milk?
Also is there any way if we can use the blanched powder 1 cup and maida as 1/4th?
Yes this recipe calls for both condensed milk and sugar. You can replace certain quantity of maida with almond flour, say 2 Cup Maida : 1/3 Cup Almond Meal can be replaced as 1 Cup Maida : 1 Cup Almond Meal here but texture differs
I tried it.It was so delicious.??.Thanks a lot @nithaskitchen

Swanit instead of condensed milk add 1/4 to 1/3 cup yogurt and 1/4 cup sugar…
I don't want to use condensed milk. Will I have to increase yogurts and sugar in addition to what is already there? How much more is to be added?
Looks so soft and yum!
