Eggless 3 Ingredient Coconut Semolina Cake/No oil, condensed milk, Flour -Eggless Coconut Semolina cake made with only 3 main ingredients. This cake needs no oil, butter, milk, eggs, flour or condensed milk. It doesn’t even require any special equipment, just a bowl and a spoon. Made with semolina/sooji this cake turns out moist with a delicate coconut flavor. Semolina- also called sooji or rava is similar to Cream of Wheat, as sold in grocery stores in the US.
This vegan eggless coconut semolina cake is similar to the Mango Semolina cake, except I replaced the mango pulp with coconut milk and of course added sugar since the coconut milk is unsweetened unlike the mango pulp. Like all my recipes, I do make it a few times to work out the kinks and I did realize that the freshness of baking soda and baking powder does make a difference. Using a fresh box of baking soda and baking powder gave the cake twice the rise and for some reason was whiter.
I have used fine semolina, readily available in all Indian grocery stores .If you have the coarse variety, I would give it a few pulses in the coffee grinder to make it fine. If you prefer a more intense coconut flavor, use coconut extract, instead of the vanilla extract. Also, toast some shredded coconut and sprinkle on top for a more robust flavor.

Hello Anchal! This is my first recipe from your blog and I can’t thank you enough for it. I can’t believe a cake can turn out so well even without oil. I used fresh coconut in this recipe and my tasters loved every bit especially my 3 year old. Looking forward to trying more of your yummy recipes. Cheers!
