I bought some strawberries the other day at Safeway and the hubby really wanted some kind of yellow or white cake to eat them with. So far I've only made a eggless chocolate cake so I wasn't quite sure how the yellow cake would work. The result was super yummy and I love not having to limit myself with it because it has no eggs!
What you need:
- 1 1/2 c. flour
- 1 c. sugar(I used Turbinado)
- 1 t. baking soda
- 1/2 t. salt
- 1/2 c. oil
- 1 c. milk
- 2 t. vanilla
- 1 T. vinegar
Mix together all the dry ingredients first.
Add in the wet but don't stir until you have added all the wet to the dry. If it's easier just mix the wet ingredients in a separate bowl and then add them together. Also, I used regular milk but if you need it to be dairy free you could add soy milk or something similar.
Pour in a greased 8x8 pan. Bake at 350F for 30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Eat just like any other yellow cake. We had ours with whipped cream and strawberries!

This looks fantastic and I don’t have to haul out the mixer!
This looks like a great quick recipe! Thanks for sharing!
Great recipe! I made a 6 inch round layer cake and it turned out great. Baked up perfectly! Topped it with raspberry buttercream frosting. Yum!
What kind of vinegar did you use?
White Vinegar
YUMMMMM!
Did you use cake flour or all-purpose?
All Purpose
WOW, I’ve been searching for an eggless yellow cake that would actually RISE! I’ve tried all the egg substitutes and everything has either tasted gross or I ended up with a fallen cake. The last disaster left me in tears at 11pm with a fallen yellow cake and a party early the next day. A google search led me to your cake, and fortunately I had all the ingredients in the house! The cake was a success, and it’s now requested at all family parties!
I did make one adjustment one time that made the cake light and melty. I was out of regular milk so I used vanilla almond milk (because it was midnight and that’s what there was). I eliminated one teaspoon of vanilla because of the vanilla flavoring in the milk. The cake got RAVE reviews!
So thanks so much! I really love your site, and we’ve been making the move to being more “Little House on the Prairie” ourselves.
Does this cake mix work in a 9×13 in. pan?
Yes but you would need to double the recipe.
Thank you so very much!
Can I use self rising flour.
You should be able to but just leave out the baking soda.
What kind of oil?
Any kind of vegetable oil without a strong flavor will work. I prefer mild olive oil.
