Eggless pillow cake recipe using wheat flour and unrefined sugar.Sandwich maker cake yes you heard it right, a pillowy soft can be made in sandwich maker, yes the same sandwich maker we use to make bread sandwiches.
This pillow cake using sandwich maker was in my to try list since a long time.Every time I plan to try this cake some other priorities take over.Finally last week I set out to try so used my no fail recipe as base and tried with wheat flour and coconut sugar. The cake out so soft and spongy..now I understand why the name ‘pillow cake‘.
This is so easy to make that you can use any cake recipe, the cake is great to pack for kids snack box. Next time I am going to experiment with different flavours, sure to post here too 🙂
Eggless pillow cake using whole wheat flour and unrefined sugar.
- 3/4 cup wheat flour
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/8 tsp salt
- 1/3 cup coconut sugar (You can use cane sugar or regular sugar too)
- 1/4 cup water
- 1/2 tsp vanilla essence
- 1/8 cup oil
- 3 tbsp milk
- 1/4 cup curd
- 1/2 tbsp vinegar
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
-
To a sieve add wheat flour,baking powder and salt.Sieve it well for even mixing.
-
In a mixing bowl - add sugar,water and oil.
-
Add vanilla essence and mix well until sugar completely dissolves. In a separate bowl add curd.
-
Add vinegar, and baking soda. It will bubble up as you can see.
-
Now add curd mixture to sugar oil mixture.Whisk well.
-
Add wheat flour mixture and whisk it well.The mixture was thickish so added milk.
-
The mixture should be flowing not too runny or too thick.If you pour it should spread by itself.Heat the sandwich maker as per the instruction manual,then grease it with oil / butter.Pour the batter into the holes in the sandwich maker, do not pour more just a layer as shown.Close and cook covered for 4-5 mins.Slowly open and check if its cooked it will stick.If it sticks then cook covered for another 2mins.Remove and add batter for next batch.
- The recipe I referred did not use milk but I added it as the batter was thick.If you are using white flour then you may not require milk.Adjust measure of milk accordingly.
- You can use white flour replacing wheat flour and regular sugar too.
- Keep an eye after 4 mins as each sandwich make is different.

Looks like a great healthy recipe.. can this be tried on hand held sandwich maker? The stove top ones.. curious to know
Not really sure
As always innovative picturesque yummy dish…
Sure to try. ..
Explain about type of vinegar to be used.
I used apple cidar vinegar, you can use regular vinegar too
great idea sharmii
Can we use lemon juice instead of vinegar? If so what’s the measurement?
You can but not sure if it will leave the lemon flavour…you can try with the same measure and see
Such a simple recipe. In the ingredients list for mix 2, you have mentioned oil twice.I guess one was meant to be water. Can you please clarify it.
yes yes it is water…corrected it now…thank you
