🍰 Eggless Vertical Cake Recipe

In this article we will tell you how to make Vertical cake.

📝 Ingredients:

For the Eggless Sponge Sheet:

• All-purpose flour – 1 cup (120g)
• Baking powder – 1 tsp
• Baking soda – ½ tsp
• Salt – a pinch
• Thick yogurt – ½ cup (120g)
• Powdered sugar – ½ cup (100g)
• Milk – ½ cup (adjust as needed)
• Vinegar or lemon juice – 1 tbsp
• Oil – ¼ cup (60ml)
• Vanilla extract – 1 tsp

For the Whipped Cream Filling:

• Heavy cream (chilled) – 1½ cups
• Powdered sugar – 3 tbsp (adjust to taste)
• Vanilla extract – 1 tsp

👩‍🍳 Instructions:

1. Bake the Sheet Cake:

1. Preheat oven to 175°C (350°F). Line a 10×12 inch rectangular baking tray with parchment paper.
2. In a bowl, mix yogurt and sugar until smooth. Add oil, vinegar, vanilla, and milk. Mix well.
3. Sift in flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Fold gently to make a smooth, pourable batter.
4. Pour into the tray and spread evenly.
5. Bake for 12–15 minutes or until the top is lightly golden and springs back when touched.
6. While still warm, carefully roll the cake with parchment paper (like a Swiss roll). Let it cool completely rolled — this helps prevent cracks.

2. Make Whipped Cream Filling:

• Beat chilled heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form. Chill until needed.

3. Assemble the Vertical Cake:

1. Unroll the cooled cake and cut into 3 or 4 long strips (widthwise).
2. Spread whipped cream evenly on each strip.
3. Start rolling the first strip into a spiral, then keep adding the next strip around it to make one tall spiral.
4. Carefully stand the spiral cake upright to reveal vertical layers.

4. Frost and Decorate:

• Cover the entire upright cake with whipped cream or buttercream.
• Decorate with fresh fruits, sprinkles, ganache, or chocolate shards.

✅ Tips:

• Chill the rolled cake before frosting for clean finishing.
• You can flavor the sponge or cream with lemon, strawberry, or chocolate.
• Use a serrated knife for neat slices to showcase the vertical pattern.
