I had some guests for dinner last week and I wanted to make a cake but as I'm trying to be eggless the recipe couldn't have eggs in it. I used a basic white cake recipe but with less corn starch and ½ water, ½ orange juice. When I took the cake tins out of the oven the middles of both of them fell. After I let them cool 10 minutes, I turned them out onto a cooling rack and the middle of the bottom of one of them was still quite moist so I put it back in the oven. I didn't have time to make new ones so I decided to serve them anyway. I used the whipped cocoa cream from this recipe for the icing (we could probably eat it without any cake!). Everyone took a second slice and seemed to enjoy it. I'll use the recipe again.
