eggless gingerbread cake – a moist soft spiced cake with the aroma & taste of ginger that you can make for christmas.

from a long time i wanted to make an eggless version of gingebread cake. i just developed my own recipe and the cake was a hit at home. for an eggless version, this cake is damn good. you won't even know that eggs have not been used.

this is a healthy gingerbread cake as the whole recipe has been made in whole wheat flour/atta making it rich in fibre and nutrients. apart from whole wheat flour, i have used jaggery syrup instead of molasses. traditionally molasses are used in gingerbread. since in india molasses are not easily available, jaggery is a good & healthy substitute.

i have also used candied dried ginger. if you don't have candied dried ginger, then no need to add it. you can even add some golden raisins in the cake. all in all one healthy gingerbread cake where you won't feel guilty having it or serving to your family.

if you are looking for more eggless cakes then do check christmas wine fruit cake, vanilla cake, apple cake, orange cake and apple upside down cake.

Cuisine: world

• 1.5 cups organic whole wheat flour/atta
• 2 tsp ginger paste or grated ginger
• 2 tbsp candied ginger or golden raisins(optional)
• ¼ tsp cinnamon powder
• ¼ tsp nutmeg powder
• ½ tsp baking soda
• 1 tsp baking powder
• ¼ cup yogurt (dairy or vegan) + ¼ cup water
• ½ cup oil

• ¾ cup powdered or grated organic jaggery
• ½ cup water

1. mix the whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and nutmeg powder well in a bowl. you can also sieve the above ingredients.
2. add the ginger paste and candied ginger and mix again.
3. in a separate bowl, stir the yogurt with water very well. then add the oil to it and mix well. keep aside.
4. heat the ¼ cup water till its just hot (no need to boil) in a microwave or on stove top.
5. add jaggery to the hot water and stir well.
6. pour the yogurt+oil mixture to the flour.
7. then add the jaggery solution.
8. fold the ingredients well and make a smooth batter.
9. pour into a greased baking round pan or loaf pan and bake at 180 degrees C for 35-40 mins. it took me 41 minutes to bake the cake.
10. once warm, remove the gingerbread cake from the pan and keep it on the tray to cool.
11. dust some icing sugar on the cake if you prefer.
12. slice the eggless gingerbread and serve with some whipped cream or plain.

since i have used organic powdered jaggery, there are no impurities. if there are impurities in the jaggery syrup, then filter the syrup and use it.
