Eggless Coffee Sponge Cake

EGGLESS RICH COFFEE CAKE

| ULTIMATE SPONGE RECIPE

Eggless Rich Coffee Sponge Cake – This cake turned out so soft and moist. I did another variation for the cream cheese frosting but you can definitely go for whipped cream frosting like in the egg version. It’s really an easy and simple cake and it’s delectable at the same time. I hope you’re inspired to make this ultimate eggless cake. Enjoy!
