    Eggless Cashew Pound Cake is made with cashew nut paste aerated with fresh juice. This pound cake is dense and has a tight crumb. With right sweetness and fat, this surely classifies for a classic pound cake.

    When you plan for substituting eggs and still follow the principle of fat, protein for a pound cake, you have very less ingredients that give the same results with the same texture. Nut paste will help in cases where we are trying to replace the fat and protein content of eggs. So in this pound cake, I have used cashew paste for egg substitute. The baked pound cake ends up being dense, tight crumb and moist too.

    In this cake, citrus juice is used for aerating the cake. The nut paste has to be very fine and added to the creamed sugar and butter. It follows the same technique of creaming and folding, to have the air pockets formed in tact. In this batter also, I followed the method of using the beater for half the dry ingredients and folded the rest.

    Since I was planning for a plain pound cake, I didn't want to add anything to the batter. While it wasn't as soft and airy as the Vanilla Pound cake, it was fantastic on its own without comparing. After all so much cashews have gone it and it has to make its presence. Still in the baked cake, we couldn't find the taste of cashews or sweet lime taste.

    This is part of the Bake-a-thon we do every year during December. I am doing Pound Cakes for week 1.

      Using aerated cashew paste as an egg substitute is so innovative. The texture of the cake is so good and looks so soft.

      I totally love how you have worked towards the cake... and the texture and the look of it says it all! Cashew would have surely added more richness to the cake and the orange juice would have imparted its lovely flavor... total win!

      You are so correct, all egg replacement simply does not work, we need to identify what it has to and accordingly replace. The pound cakes texture has come out amazing and I am sure my parents would love this.

      I am simply going to follow all your pound cake recipes as I am really lazy to figure out the science behind the egg replacers. This is one that I am really eager to make!
