Apple Cinnamon Cake – Eggless recipe | Apple Cake No Butter No Egg | Apple Cake recipe without Egg is light, soft and packed with juicy apples. Not overly sweet at all! It is served as a dessert or sweet treat for special occasions.

I am addicted to the light and soft texture of egg-based cakes. So when it comes to eggless baking, my expectations are really high. Even the slightest flavor of baking soda is annoying. But this cake has passed all such checks. It is just the perfect one!

Why bake Eggless Apple Cinnamon Cake

Here is my self-promulgated perspective to eggless baking. Generally, during Indian festivals and ceremonies, delicacies, savories , sweets or desserts  without eggs are only permitted  That’s why Indian mithai (sweets) such as Nectarous Gulab Jamun, Kaju Katli , Gajar Ka Halwa, Milk Peda or Til ki Burfi are widely consumed .

To enjoy cakes for celebrations and ceremonial fervor, eggless baking has spurred forward by shifting trends. As a result, the idea of eggless cakes has gained significant popularity throughout the nation.

As I speak, there are a variety of cakes across the globe in both egg as well as egg free versions. We have English pound cakes, festive Dates Cakes, Yule cakes, Parsi Mawa cake, Rasmalai cake, Gulab jamun Cake, Middle East Basbousa and Cakes with tahini and olive oil and so forth.
