But I never dare to try eggless butterless cake thinking of the outcome - May be I have to trash it down. Being an ardent baker it is a shame for me if I don't expertise with all the versions that a baking pro asks for. So I buckeled up myself and started to experiment the Eggless butterless cakes in my kitchen. I started to make in a small amount with the minimum mesurments that a cake needs to be baked.

I add a little bit of olive oil to make the texture more perfect. My walnut cranberry eggless butterless cake loaf was loved by those who bought in the KFB's Bakers Showcase 2016.
