How can I make my eggless cake fluffier?

Why is my eggless cake dense and not fluffy?

Because of the absence of eggs in the batter, there are more chances of eggless cake not turning super spongy. Therefore, make sure you preheat the oven and place the cake as much as possible, in the center of the pan. However, make sure you beat the fat and sugar batter for a frothier texture.

Why does my eggless cake sink in the middle?

Too much leavening agent like baking soda or powder can cause a cake to rise too high too quickly. The gas from the leavening agents builds up and escapes before the cake bakes through in the center. This causes the center to collapse and makes your cake layers sink in the middle.
