Baking without eggs, specially cakes can be intimidating but these days, I simply love to bake almost everything without eggs. This eggless cake recipe does not required eggs and no butter.
Now, for any of your celebration, you won’t have to look further than this easy, delicious cupcakes. It will make your party elegant if you decorate even simply. Just be sure to use fancy cupcake liners. Sometimes, once the cupcakes are baked, the liners tend to look ugly so I place the baked cupcakes in new liner to give fresh look. No need to remove the old liner. Just put the whole thing in new liner.
