Shaswati Cakes are my all time’s favorite dessert item. They are spongy, fluffy , sweet and flavorful. This Christmas, I have made lots of cakes and here is the recipe of tastiest one and that is Eggless Plum Cake.
Plum cake which is well known as fruit cake is very rich in flavor. It contains a lot of dry fruits, raisins, butter and mix spices. this mix spices make it different from the normal cakes.
It is very often for cakes that we use eggs sometimes and sometimes we do not use it in our cake. But they both are quite similar in taste. Egg doesn’t affect so much in the taste of cake but yes it affect on the fluffiness.
One of the flavoring agent, which I have used in this cake is Orange juice. I used to prefer Rum to soak the raisins, but here I have used fresh orange juice instead. And that has made a huge difference in my Eggless Plum Cake.
Trust me I couldn’t control myself after completing the baking. The smell of the soaked raisins and the orange juice was filled my entire house and it was indescribable.
I know that you all are eagerly waiting for the recipe, so lets jump to the recipe.
