Eggless Red velvet Cake for toddlers
My love for baking with healthy ingredients can’t be explained really. I wanted to try an eggless red velvet kind of a cake with natural colouring using beetroots and some baking without raising agents(baking powder/baking soda). I didn’t have much courage to give it a try because there were too many to experiment like no white flour, no white sugar, no raising agents, no artificial colouring and lots. All of these are pretty much different from the usual recipes. And above all, we wanted to do some topping with frosting cream too. Too much na for a beginner??? I know 😉
I got some courage from my friends Kalai Rajesh, Ravneet Kaur and Gouthami(Click here for her recipe) who posted similar experimentation in the recent days. The trial session went on last weekend and it came out pretty well except for few corrections which I learnt from experts. I have included all details under my observations. Please read the recipe in detail and give it try. There was also a cranberry choco cake made with the same combinations which will be posted this week soon.
Come Let’s have a look at the recipe of Eggless Red velvet Cup Cakes.

11.Eggless Red velvet Cake for toddlers is ready.
Notes:
You can replace whole wheat flour with any millet flour too. Don’t forget to sieve. Only this ensures a non-dense cake.
Use really sour buttermilk after having removed the butter.
Remove impurities in jaggery before mixing.
The cupcakes have risen but not so fluffy like the usual ones. This is because we have used only buttermilk as a natural raising agent.
The cake is slightly dense and no spongy because of having skipped raising agents and being an eggless version. Using egg and a hand blender will help in getting a more fluffy cake.
I used gingelly oil here. You can use any cooking oil.
For flax seed powder , just blend dry flax seeds in a mixer jar and use. You need not dry roast them.
Ensure to whisk the wet and dry ingredients well to form a slightly thick and pouring consistency batter. Don’t overdo.
You can use sugar/jaggery/palm sugar/brown sugar/cane sugar.
Colour depends on the flour, jaggery used
Wait for the muffin tray to cool before you remove them.
Store them in an airtight container. I believe it would stay good for 4 days at room temperature if whipping cream has not been added. Else refrigerate them and use.
