About Custard Powder Cake
The main element of the custard powder cake is vanilla custard powder. Custard powder provides a distinct but delicious flavor and taste to the cake. However, the cake is more like a tea cake, and hence it is slightly dense. But it has perfect moisture, and the texture is fluffy and tender. So, you can enjoy this cake as it is without any frosting. When I first made this cake, my husband suggested adding some tutti frutti. So next, I made the cake with tutti frutti and was glad I took his suggestion seriously! Candied fruits go super well with this cake, and the cake is more delicious. So I am sharing the recipe with tutti frutti, but it is optional, and you can also make the cake without it. Or, if you like, you can add dried fruits or chopped nuts of your choice. Eggless Custard Powder Cake is buttery and soft, and the recipe is very simple and easy to follow. Like my other cake recipes, this one does not require an electric mixer, and the batter comes together without any fuss.

Ingredients
Step-by-Step Directions
Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease an 8-inch round cake pan well with oil or butter and set it aside. Add all-purpose flour, custard powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl, and whisk well.
Add tutti frutti to the flour mixture if you like, and mix well.
Mix melted butter, granulated sugar, and vanilla in a large mixing bowl until well combined.
Now add dry ingredients and milk alternatively into wet ingredients in two parts. Mix until everything is just combined; do not overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake the cake in the oven for 40-45 minutes or until a cake skewer inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove the cake from the oven and place the pan on a cooling rack.
Allow the cake to cool down completely in the pan before removing and slicing it.
Serving and Storing Suggestions
Eggless Custard Powder Cake does not require any frosting. However, you can sprinkle some icing sugar on top of the cake before slicing and serving. This cake is delicious but can be made decadent while served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. The cake stays at room temperature, tightly covered, for three days. Store the leftover cake in the fridge for up to 7-8 days.
Helpful Tips
Measuring: Use a kitchen scale if you have one to measure the ingredients for the best results. Custard Powder: I have used vanilla custard powder, which provides color and flavor to the cake. However, if you like to make a mango-flavored cake, you can use the same amount of mango custard powder. I will not recommend using plain cornstarch instead of custard powder, as I have not tried the recipe with it. Tutti Frutti: It is optional to use tutti frutti, but I highly recommend to use if you have it handy. Instead of tutti fruit, you can add finely chopped dried fruits or nuts of your choice. Mixing The Batter: Do not overmix the batter to get a soft and tender cake.
