U should have cut the cake to show the texture

[@NatalieWarren13]

This is definitely the best Aquafaba sponge cake recipe I’ve found.

[@tuputodu6336]

Hi wish u had shown after cutting and how soft or fluffy the piece was.....

[@petrchutny]

Thank you for this recipe! I'm experimenting with aquafaba right now. You're very inspiring!

[@mrsmum6752]

I added cups of sugar first then added the aquafaba and left it in the stand mixer with a paddle and it whipped up so wild. It didn’t deflate. Put it in the oven and made giant meringue. Cant wait to try this recipe next time I use beans for dinner

[@thegrandaisle]

Thank you, I'ma try this tomorrow. You're amazing

[@Dolcevita_bakes]

Great recipe! Just what I was looking for! But thank goodness for stand mixers otherwise my hands would fall off!

[@TheBroervan]

That's a great recipe. Thank you very much. Best and easiest to follow aquafaba recipe. Beautifully risen cake with a great taste.

[@rebeccac5051]

Looks great!

[@edithdlp8045]

The greatest vegan sponge cake in all youtube. Thank you

[@fireflies15]

This is excellent

[@joshswain6495]

This works so wells just made a fruit cake and used this method as a base, very light and a placebo egg flavour. Best homemade vegan cake that is so simple

[@DrLauraRPalmer]

EXCELLENT!!

[@nandinik189]

Tastes delicious 😋

[@sl57492]

thank you!

[@ansuajo]

Superb tips

[@2009gangan]

It looks delicious. Do you know if it would work with gluten free flour?

[@FoodTreat]

tasty 😋

[@shubh9609]

thanks :)

[@eldnahym]

wow! the process is similiar to macarons made with aquafaba (:

[@nunushan91]

How does it taste

[@jesspessiepess]

All y’all moaning in the comments about cutting a slice, just make the cake I promise it’s good

[@anushreesharma3308]

hello, I can't find your vegan meringue recipe on KZbin...saw this on Google.

[@kevinlister4610]

Try putting a tea-towel under your bowl. This should reduce the amount of irritating bowl movement you get. Great vid I've never used aquafaba but you've inspired me to give it a try.

[@gayathriraanicookspot]

Thank you for the suggestion. Will try it surely. Aquafaba is a very good vegan alternative. Do try. It is quite interesting.

[@profpornatureza4891]

I’m from Brasil and I ‘ m in love with this Cake... Thanks and I’ ll try this and I come Back here to tell you... Tks again!

[@kamalakannangunalan]

Why aquqfaba is not used in your other cake recipes?

[@bingus5334]

How big would it come out if I made it into one?

[@cristinachirileasa]

Heloo! thanks very much for a nice recipe! I would like to ask you if you know a recipe for sponge cake eggles , but without sugar and baking powder or baking soda? may be using the dried yeast? I am looking for these for a long time. ... Thank you

[@earthbalance77]

Without sugar and with yeast? Then it won't be a sponge cake!

[@gayathriraanicookspot]

I have made it with yeast, but not without sugar. And certainly not without baking powder and soda. It would be more like an enriched bread and not cake.

[@jesspessiepess]

that’s called bread my man

[@so_ham01]

I think rock sugar will do well for ur recipe... I hav an idea of making using jaggery... But haven't tried yet...

[@gayathrisudarsan9044]

@@gayathriraanicookspot Hi! I really love your recipes. I tried searching for the yeast cake and went through your whole playlist but couldn't find the recipe :/ could you please share the link here?

[@vishakhapoddar1688]

Hello chef,I tried this recipe but it didn't turn out well. My batter was very thick. The cake was very dense though the smell was very nice . please suggest.i want to try again or you can suggest the measurements in weigh

[@mamtakamble5259]

Please show the structure of cake

[@annawiesenmuller6878]

Hi! Looks pretty neat! In most blogs and videos it is emphasized, that baking temperatures should not exceed 80 degrees C. You bake with the usual 180. Does that really work? I thought, aquafaba deflates with higher temps?? Gfeetings from Germany☀️

[@gayathriraanicookspot]

You need to bake meringues at lower temperatures, but for cakes, it works.

[@annawiesenmuller6878]

Gayathri's Cook Spot Hi Gayathri, thank you for your response. Cool, I will try this cake coming weekend😊

[@ramatalwadker]

I tried the recipe today and the cake didn't rise much, also it's tasting a bit chikchik

[@kjcarrara2544]

mine tasted ok, but also didn't rise well. topped w/ yogurt and berries tho for a dessert.... will try again.

[@kevinvarghese4520]

May I know how many gms measurements please

[@mariliaesteves8077]

Did you not put the vinegar?

[@gayathriraanicookspot]

Add it with aquafaba.

[@mariliaesteves8077]

Gayathri's Cook Spot thank you❤️

[@rupalbansal984]

can we make marble cake with this recioe??

[@gayathriraanicookspot]

Yes, you can. Divide the batter into two, add some cocoa to one batch and make a marble pattern.

[@ashrk1310]

hi gayatri. i am big fan of your recipes. can you share some baking (cake and bread) recipes with whole wheat flour

[@gayathriraanicookspot]

Hi Ashwini, so glad to hear. I will certainly post some recipes soon.

[@pallavipatil8604]

wot can i substitute for apple cider vinegar?and how much is 3/4th cup aquafaba in grams/ml..also if i am taking frozen aquafaba how much in weight shld i take??

[@gayathriraanicookspot]

You can substitute it with lemon juice or normal white vinegar. And as for aquafaba, thaw it and then measure it in cup. I haven't weighed in a weighing scale.

[@devinirmala7617]

Hai akka y ur blog is not open from the past two days and also how to open ur blog please reply

[@gayathriraanicookspot]

Some server problem Devi. They are trying to solve it. Sorry for the inconvenience.

[@sankarasubramanian6774]

hi , what is cream of tartar ? are you tamilian ?

[@gayathriraanicookspot]

Yes, I am from TN. Cream of tartar is used to stabilise the aquafaba. You can use lemon juice or vinegar instead.

[@naimairfan5738]

15 min 😱. Guess I will get my exercise for today.

[@GuyCruls]

baking powder and baking soda - are they not the same?

[@coralgonzalez6095]

Guy Cruls no! They are different.

[@sobiakhan2631]

What is aquafaba.where do I find it

[@gayathriraanicookspot]

Please check my video on making it at home.

[@stvhb1509]

aquafaba is the cheack peas' boiled water.

[@susheelkumar9652]

Hi my aqua faba smells of chick peas.how to subside the smell

[@gayathriraanicookspot]

Usually Aquafaba smells of chickpeas, but when you use it in recipes, it won't show.

[@nagalakshmi1493]

Hi dear , can you make a video of whipped cream from chickpea water using whisk plzzz😭😭😭😭😭 (plzz dear don't ignore it plzzzz)

[@shreeramakrishnas]

What's the point is making efforts on aquafaba as you're already added baking powder ??

[@divyaskitchen302]

Its vegan! Otherwise you need to add milk or condensed milk.

[@idromano]

Aquafaba - and its proteins - is supposed to add structure to the cake.

[@bhavikarathod9382]

what is agafaba

[@bhavikarathod9382]

sorry aquafaba

[@gayathriraanicookspot]

It is the water we get after cooking chickpeas. Check my video on home made aquafaba.

[@diptisinha8383]

U mentioned apple cider vinegar in the description box and then added cream of tartar. M confused 😐

[@gayathriraanicookspot]

You can either use vinegar or cream of tartar.

[@geetikalohani7410]

Hi. Can we add whole wheat flour instead of maida?

[@user-xx7pg3vw9k]

Geetika Lohani it's too heavy...it won't work

[@DesertRainSH]

I had just tried this recipe, but had a disappointed outcome...it all went wrong when I started to mix in the flour, I added in small batches, and mixed as light as I could, and it clapsed into 1/4 the size before i poured it into the cake tin. The finished product hardly raised, and had the after tasted of baking soda. I even sifted the flour once tnen agsin with the rising agents before mixing them into the aquafaba...I was very successful with beating the aquafaba, I beated it to a stiff peak, and it stayed when i turned the bowl up side down before adding the flour, so I wonder if 1 1/2 cup of flour was too much?

[@user-xx7pg3vw9k]

Jenny Zhou yes. It is. Her aqua faba was very thick/ reduced in liquid....so it was more concentrated than the watery stuff from a can. You need to adjust accordingly.

[@idromano]

@@user-xx7pg3vw9k Thank you for saying this! I have no experience with aquafaba and you helped a lot. Thanks!!!

[@angelmarylatha8287]

superb mam how many eggs can I use instead of aquafaba and also please note this (numbers of eggs) in all your recipes

[@gayathriraanicookspot]

I don't know how to convert it into an egg based recipe. Better follow a tried and tested recipe instead.

[@DanielPincente]

Made this recipe and it just did not turn out at all. Like AT ALL😬🥺 could be because I tried to make it with gluten free flour...?

[@jayap3557]

The aquafaba got done as fluffy as in the video but: 1. The batter became very thick and could not be divided into 2 parts for 2 six inch tins... not even four inch tins. It was just enough to be put into one 6 inch tin only :-). 2. The cake rose and formed a dome alright but tasted pasty and not at all like a cake. 3. I think butter or more oil needs to be added to the recipe. 2 tbl spoons for that much flour (1 1/2 cups!!!) is probably too less. 4. The video set great expectations... Ended up very disappointed.

[@laxmipriyabarik2]

Ma'am are you vegan???

[@gayathriraanicookspot]

No, but I don't add eggs in my bakes.

[@laxmipriyabarik2]

ohh ok😊

[@earthbalance77]

@@gayathriraanicookspot why not? I am vegan and I came across your video but wondering why you would not use eggs but other animal cruelty products (such as milk/butter/yogurt, etc) yes

[@idromano]

@@earthbalance77 My guess, and I may be very incorrect, is because of cultural reasons

[@MM-ht2cr]

I just wasted 6 minutes only to see the cut

[@user-ug3kk1ts9t]

Tried this and failed miserably

[@gayathriraanicookspot]

Oh, that is bad. What happened?

[@lavlav1044]

Yes, me too. It was not well cooked in the middle. On the outside is nice, but the texture inside is stiky. I cooked it almost 40 minutes, and then the outside came brown. I never found a good vegan recipe for sponge cake 😭

[@renethundress6115]

you said dont have oil in d bowl, next thing you add oil. no wonder your cake wasn't so spongy anymore. disappointed!!

[@NatalieWarren13]

Rene Thundress it was completely spongy?? What are you talking about?

[@Apelsinkas]

Rene Thundress she added oil AFTER beating aquafaba, so it’s not a problem. If your cake didn’t turn out spongy it’s because you most likely mixed in the flour the wrong way.

[@yinwang5801]

It. seemed I have a little problem when adding oil. The foam disappeared and became very watery. I wonder if I over beat it? or what might be the problem? Any one had the same experience? Appreciate the help.
