Homemade oil-free cake is made by mixing flour, sugar, eggs and milk, then baking the batter. Mix just until combined rather than beating it for a long time, which can make the cake dense.
Yogurt, mashed banana or applesauce can add moisture in homemade oil-free cake recipes. They each affect the flavor and texture, so use a recipe designed for that substitute rather than swapping ingredients without adjustment.
To keep homemade oil-free cake moist, avoid overbaking it and measure the flour without packing it into the cup. Yogurt or fruit purée in the batter can also add moisture, though it will change the cake’s texture.
Homemade oil-free cake can turn dense if the batter is overmixed, the raising agent is old, or too much flour is used. Fold the dry ingredients in gently and bake the batter soon after mixing.
Yes, applesauce can be used in homemade oil-free cake to provide moisture in place of oil. It may make the crumb softer and add a mild apple flavor, so follow a recipe that accounts for applesauce.
Homemade oil-free cake often sinks when its center is underbaked or the oven door is opened too early. Check the center with a toothpick before taking the cake out; it should come out clean or with a few dry crumbs.
Yes, butter can be used, but the cake would no longer be oil-free in the everyday sense of having no added fat. Butter also gives the batter a different flavor and texture, so use a butter-based cake recipe.
Line the pan with parchment paper to stop homemade oil-free cake from sticking without greasing it. Once baked, let the cake rest briefly in the pan, then loosen the edges gently before turning it out.
Let homemade oil-free cake cool completely, then keep it in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. Sealing it while warm traps steam, which can make the surface damp and affect its texture.
Yes, homemade oil-free cake can be frozen. Once it has cooled completely, wrap it airtight, either whole or in slices, and thaw it at room temperature when you want to serve it.

Homemade oil-free cake is a home-baked cake made without added oil, typically using flour, sugar, eggs and milk. Recipes vary: some keep it plain, while others add fruit or spices. Leaving out oil does not necessarily make the cake low in calories, since sugar and flour still contribute much of its energy.
Its tender crumb and familiar sweetness make it a common choice with tea or coffee, for an afternoon treat, or to share at home. It is mainly a source of carbohydrates, with comparatively little fibre. For a lighter snack, have a modest slice with fresh fruit or an unsweetened drink.
Low
How many vitamins, minerals and how much fiber this food carries per calorie. A high score means a lot of nutrition for few calories.
Low
An EatBetter score computed from fiber, protein and calorie density. A high score means staying full longer on the same calories.
Both scores are calculated per 100 g and do not change with the selected portion. The satiety score is EatBetter's own calculation, not a clinical measure.
