It's Mr Mi's birthday in a few days and this year his request was for a Kirby cake. This time around, it had to be a cake that mini-Mi could eat too as he is allergic to eggs and we are also trying to limit his sugar intake. So I started researching on the internet for egg-free vanilla sponge cakes and came across a couple that looked good: Sharmis Passions Eggless Vanilla Sponge Cake and Divine Taste Eggless Golden Yellow Cake. I trialled both and in the end decided to go with Sharmis recipe as I felt the texture was much softer and had more of a likeness to regular sponge cake. The only modifications I made were to use plain flour instead of maida and honey instead of sugar (4 tbsp). My cake didn't turn out quite as fluffy as the one on Sharmis blog and I'm not sure if this was due to the addition of honey. In any case, it was still delicious topped off with a strawberry buttercream and enjoyed by all especially mini-Mi!
