Eggless Vanilla Choco-chip Bundt Cake

There was a time when eggless baking gave me jitters.Maybe because I started baking with eggs and struggled a bit to perfect my baking that anything less than a super hit success recipe makes me gasp a little.Initially I had a problem with using condensed milk too{call me crazy}.I could finish a whole can all by myself if I had my way,but using it all in a cake made me apprehensive.

Of course,some recipes stick with you and I do have my go-to eggless cake recipe which gives me foolproof results every single time.

However,the baker in me gets all excited when a new recipe comes up and I just cannot sit still until I try it out.Last time when I was in Ernakulam and wanted to bake for family,I came across this recipe.I had all ingredients ready{even if one ingredient was missing,I could just hop off to Staines,right opposite my home and get it!}.The cake was a super hit and got polished off in no time.

I tried it again after coming back to Chennai with the addition of chocolate chips.Arjun,who gets excited the moment I take out my bowls,measuring cups and whisk loved it and gobbled down a couple of pieces with his glass of milk.So next time you are looking for an eggless recipe with simple ingredients I recommend you try this one.
