Eggless White Cake
- 2 3/4 cups white flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/4 cups white sugar
- 1/2 cup corn syrup
- 1/2 cup corn oil
- 3/4 cup water
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Combine dry ingredients.
- Mix well& ensure there are no lumps.
- Add the wet ingredients in order listed.
- Stir until well mixed.
- The mixture should be thick& heavy.
- Spoon mixture into 2 well oiled& floured 9" baking pans.
- Smooth the tops with a spatula as much as possible.
- Bake for up to 30 minutes.
- Check for doneness after 20 minutes& if not done, cook for another 5 minutes& check again.
- Remove from oven& cool on wire racks for 10 minutes.
- Carefully turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- Layer with jam& a lemon icing.
- NOTE: It is essential to oil& flour the pans well as the corn syrup does make the batter very sticky.
- Unlike most sponge cakes, this one does not sag in the middle& while quite light, is still good& hearty.
