I’m constantly on a journey to try and find that perfect recipe for eggless cake, if you don’t know, these cakes are difficult to get right as they don’t contain the protein to give the cake the moistness it needs and I want to make these cakes without using egg replacer. One of the most recent ones I have made was the Eggless Guinness cake<\/a>, I really liked this one, it was quite rich, moist but dense but and most importantly the flavour was yummy. <\/p>\n

I came across this recipe and thought ohhhh lovely, what a nice autumnal recipe. I love the taste of ginger in cakes and one of my favourite shop brought cake is Jamaican ginger cake. I decided to add a grated apple for extra moisture and texture. The cupcakes however didn’t taste of apple that much as the taste of ginger and spice taste was taking over.<\/p>\n

I did loveeeee the taste the cakes but as for moistness and cake texture goes it didn’t quite live up to it, which was a shame! Oh well back on to my quest.<\/p>\n
