No-Egg Sponge – Hiroko’s Recipes


The other day my daughter asked me if I had a recipe for ‘No-Egg Tiramisu’. I though the cream can be made without Eggs, but how can I make Sponge Fingers without Eggs? That’s the beginning of my challenge to create ‘No-Egg Sponge’ recipe. I got a hint from ‘Theo’s Sponge’, that is made with Custard Powder. This ‘No-Egg Sponge’ rose only 3.5cm tall when I baked it in 18cm tin. If you want more height, use a smaller tin. If you slice it in half and fill cream or fruit between the slices, this would be good enough.

Cake Tin

18cm OR Smaller Springform Round Cake Tin

3/4 cup Milk of your choice
