This is the cake recipe I have been looking for for years! It was easy to make and turned out light and tasty, with a texture and flavour just like childhood birthday cakes. Perfect - thank you.

Recently diagnosed with high cholesterol and advised to avoid eggs, I was looking for egg-less cake recipe and stumbled upon this. The cake turned out not as I expected of a sponge cake. The texture was moist but not light; it's a little heavy. It's actually tasted good. I'd think this would make great muffins. As I had no self raising flour, I substituted with plain flour mixture here (http://www.food.com/recipe/homemade-self-rising-flour-substitute-29318). Thanks for sharing this recipe!
