How to make a gluten free sponge cake.
I have been so excited to publish this recipe!
Not only is this a gluten free sponge cake recipe but it is an egg free sponge cake recipe and a vegan sponge cake recipe too.
If you looked at the pictures before reading the text you would never guess that this sponge cake contains no eggs, wheat, milk, cream, or gluten.
To sandwich the cooked sponge cake together I used strawberry conserve and my vegan coconut whipped cream, you can use cows milk cream if you like.
This is a sponge cake that not only tastes fantastic but looks fabulous too.
If you want to impress your family and friends with an eggless gluten free vegan cake then this is the recipe you want, you do not need to be on a specific diet to enjoy this delicious treat of a sponge cake.

It looks so delicious Jeena :).
Thanks for coming up with this delicious vegan recipes.
Btw, I tried to make the chocolate mable cake and it didn't rise.
Don't know what's wrong :(... Please give me some tips Jeena...
(Nellie) Thanks heaps
But it taste really delicious and spongy Jeena :).... Thanks again for the wonderful recipe (Nellie)
Hi Nellie,
You could have over beat the egg whites for the chocolate cake.
Also never open the oven door for at least 20-25 minutes whilst a cake is cooking.
Did you use self raising flour or plain all purpose flour?
I am adding you to my google reader! BEAUTIFUL work! I cannot believe it is Vegan! You are also gorgeous! I am going to read all of your older posts and I bet I will be making one of your recipes soon!
This looks so delicious! I used to be a vegan for awhile, but couldn't really find much like this back then! I will have to try this! I love sponge cake. Yummmm
Hello Jeena :),
Thank you for the tips :). I was trying to beat the egg whites till it was soft and fluffy but didn't seem to reach that consistency... The cake did rise a bit and pretty moist maybe I was expecting it to rise a lot. I used self raising flour and extra baking powder just in case.
Overall, the marble cake was really nice ...thank you very very much.
I am going to try this vegan cake soon...at least i don't need to beat the egg whites :P.
Thank you Chef Jeena... I really like your blogs. (Nellie)
Oh my god, my mouth is watering!!!

Wow- this looks fantastic and I am really interested in how a gluten and egg free cake would taste. I need to try it!

Hi Jeena! Thanks for your comment on my blog! Glad you liked the Chocolate Peppermint Chewies I made. I'm off to explore yours site now!
well the cake looks great, but the filling looks drool-worthy. bravo!
I love cake rolls! Yours looks fabulous!
That looks just like a Victoria Sandwich cake, I can't believe you made this without eggs etc. Good job!
am i missing something, when does the 4oz of powdered sugar get added to the mix???
delicious and mouthwatering!
Thanks everyone for the lovely feedback. :-)
Pconroy, thanks for letting me know about that I have updated the recipe. You add the sugar with the other dry ingredients. :-)
Very nice blog! I've never seen a egg free and gluten cake, but this one looks gorgeous! By the way, that vegan lasagna looks so yummy!!
Thanks for comment at my blog!
This looks not only tasty, but a simple and elegant cake. Perfect for a holiday treat as well.
Your cake looks yummy...Like the recipe for eggless cake too.
This is amazing. Thank you so much. I shall test it this week.
I made this yesterday and it was perfect! I used a single eight inch cake tin but I think I might try two six inch tins. I used UK products and measuring tools and it was fine. It tasted as good as
Hi,
My son has an egg, soja, seeds, nuts,and glutenallergy. I have baken 6 cakes, but none of them were eatable.
I have just found your recipe, but I can not use golden flax seeds and soya milk. Can I recplace these ingredients by Xanthan Gom and rice milk?
Thank you for the great feedback everyone.
You can use rice milk instead of soya milk but the flax seed that is ground and mixed with the water is used as a binder and for flavor. You could try using another ingredient but omit the hot water if you do.
Chef Jeena,
thanks for your quick response. Xanthan Gom is also a binder, but it doesn't have a flavour. I will try it tomorrow.
I want to decorate the cake. Is the cake the next day still soft and fluffy?
Your cake really looks great.
I will let you know the result.
The cake is still soft the next day. If you use some kind of cream filling and keep the cake in the fridge covered with plastic wrap it will stay more moist.
Xanthan gum is a binder but it will have a somewhat different taste and effect on the cake than the flax seeds.
This is a peach cake recipe that is gluten/egg/nut/seed free have a look here gluten free peach cake recipe
I would love to hear how the cake comes out.
Wow!!! My son's has a skin reaction to wheat and eggs!!! This recipe is perfect as I've been searching for a cake recipe for his first birthday! I will try it out and let you know how it turns out! hank you!
Hi Jeena,
Instead of using the flaxseed. can i use the Egg replacer powder?
Thanks
I'd really like to make this recipe, but I'm not familiar with dry ingredients being measured in ounces. Is that volume or weight? Is it half a cup of flour and sugar or a cup? Please help!
Hi Chef Jeena: Is this vegan sponge cake pliable enough to use for a jelly roll, when it is warm from the oven? Thank you so much. Amanda
