On 19th May I have baked this amazing cake for my hubby surprise birthday. He just love surprises & if especially a cake is made by me then he is the happiest soul. I baked it late night for him and gave him a surprise exactly at 12:00 pm. As he was awake and busy with his urgent priority office work, he was completely blown away by the surprise, as I was down with cold, so he never expected that I could make it happen. He was extremely emotional and touched😁.

As this is an eggless recipe, I have used only milk. It's kind of go to cake which can be made with simple ingredients. I have used beetroot juice for the colour but if you want you can add any gel colour to the cake batter as per your choice.

I felt really overwhelmed and extremely proud the way it turned out..... it's soft, moist and extremely spongy. I have decorated the cake with vanilla buttercream frosting and as you can witness it looks so beautiful.

Let's check out the Ingredients & recipe to make this delicious cake. If you like this simple midnight Birthday Cake recipe then please comment down below, I would love to read your thoughts!!!!

Tips

Instead of milk, use buttermilk.
I have used beetroot juice for colour, you can't use any gel colour instead.(optional)
If using eggs then 2 eggs will do the job.

Says no butter, milk or eggs. Yet the recipe calls for butter AND milk!

  I'm really sorry but wanted to correct you kindly read throughout. I have mentioned no buttermilk (it means in milk we add vinegar & keep it aside for 5 to 10 mins then we use for baking cake when not using Eggs). In this recipe I have clearly mentioned, as it is a eggless recipe, i have not used buttermilk instead i have used only milk. I have not used eggs as well.
