Thoughts on this eggless sponge cake recipe ?

[allamberedover]

• 1 ½ cups (225 g) plain flour / all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon (16 g) baking powder
• 1 cup (240 g) caster sugar / superfine sugar
• 180 g (¾ cup / 6.5 oz) butter, melted
• 1 ½ cups (375 mL) milk
• 2 teaspoon (10 g) vanilla extract

I very rarely make sponge cakes but rather unthinkingly followed this recipe this morning . rather dense!

was a mistake I feel.Just seems strange to omit eggs .

reads like a pancake recipe

have a look at vegan sponge cake recipes they make a very good eggless sponge.
tbh I use a SR flour and add extra baking powder in to make a lighter egg free sponge cake.

This is fairly bomb proof, you can replace the dairy free yogurt and spread with dairy contacting Greek style full fat yogurt and butter. Word of warning, do not be tempted to replace cider vinegar with the sort you would stick on chips….it makes the kind of cake taste experience that lingers in not a nice way.
