There is a possibility that one wants to make a milk cake without milk. It might sound foolish unless you are talking to a vegan or asking for vegan cakes in Melbourne. Nothing is better than cow's milk, but in case of a vegan cake, one can always go for soy milk, almond milk or coconut milk.

    2.Lemon Juice

In case of recipe's requirement for buttermilk, it can be created by the addition of lemon to any non-dairy milk.

Now butter is the most important ingredient for making a cake. In case you are making a vegan chocolate cake, it is incomplete without a buttery feel on our tongues. Don’t lose your heart. Butter can be swapped by Canola oil to makes the best cakes in Melbourne. At times, the canola oil might not contribute to that buttery feel. In that case, vegan margarine or vegetable shortening can do the needful.

    4. Flax Seeds or Flax Eggs

Flaxseeds or flax-eggs can be used in case of eggs to prepare vegan cakes. They need to be mixed with water in ground form. The composition must be 1:3, i.e. 1 tbsp. of flaxseed powder and 3 tbsp. of water. It needs to be set at rest for approximately 10 minutes.

  1. Applesauce

Those people who don't like flaxseeds, they can use applesauce as an alternative. A ¼ cup of applesauce can contribute to a single egg.

  1. Banana

Banana can also fill the gap for the egg's absence while preparing a vegan chocolate cake. Banana is a starch-filled fruit which can develop enough mushy feeling for the cake. One egg is equal to half a banana in the cake world!

You might have seen a viscous gravy-like liquid in your pea-cans. Some people prefer consuming it with rice while others throw it. You must be surprised to know that it can act as a substitute for egg while baking best cakes in Melbourne. It can be whipped exactly in the same way egg whites are. The liquid is called Aquafaba.
