I am making a large (250 people), eggless wedding cake for an Indian couple. Will this cake hold up in a 16″ round and can it take two layers together (with dowels inserted). I am desperate to find an eggless cake recipe that can tolerate large pans and hold together when transporting. I usually use Duncan Hines cake mix and never have any trouble, but with no eggs, the cake mix comes out flat. Thanks for your help.

Kiran ~ I would say use the yoghurt cake recipe that is better or make this cake into a fruit cake by adding 200g plus of fruit. Both these have worked for us in the past. hope I was not too late in replying, good luck.

Date and Walnut cake is one of my favourites to have from my Mum, as I think it is the best in the world.

Delicious, and one of the best things to eat when you are in a very chocolatey mood, which I always am! That is one of the reasons why every year on my Birthday I have a chocolate cake.

Hi, I tried your chocolate cake recipe some days ago but somehow couldn’t get the same result as you, my cake clearly wasn’t looking that good (but tasted fine). What kind of chocolate are you using? Maybe it’s because of the flour I used, I have a gluten intolerance so I used Rice flour instead of regular wheat flour.

Kiran ~ We use Cadburys Bourneville cocoa powder, perhaps the flour did make a difference. Maybe try using semolina (if you can not sure if you can with a gluten intolerance), that might work, as the texture of rice flour is very dense and fine compared to normal flour I guess. Hope it works better next time for you, or try the yoghurt cake recipe it might be better.
