Eggless Tea Cake

" Vegetarian Cakes . I am sure you know what I am talking about.... Cakes without eggs. So how many of you have gone through the process of hunting for eggless cakes & landed up picking the only one option from the counter shelf. It can be difficult but its not impossible.
My mother used to always bake cakes without eggs. Infact my whole family has been doing that since i was a kid. Well ofcourse i belonged to the vegetarian lot wherein eggs were not supposed to be cooked at home. So the tradition of eating eggless cakes goes back to the time when the oven was invented. Still the taste and the aroma of that cake used to be so inviting that you cant help yourself from taking another bite. 
So today I am sharing a recipe of an Eggless Tea Cake which is rich and indulgent. This is dedicated to my mum for making those delicious cakes in the small round oven which looked like a spaceship having some sci-fi features.
Do try this recipe & enjoy it ... Would love to know your feedback & comments !!!!
