About eggless cake shops
Eggless cake shops grew up to serve Britain's Hindu, Jain and Sikh communities, many of whom are lacto-vegetarian and do not eat eggs, and the format has since spread far beyond them. Today they are a familiar sight in Leicester, Wembley, Harrow, Slough, Birmingham and Glasgow, and their light fresh-cream cakes, photo cakes and cupcakes are bought by anyone who has an egg allergy or simply prefers the style.
What to order
- Fresh cream fruit gateau – Light sponge with whipped cream and fruit – the eggless shop's signature.
- Rasmalai cake – A fusion cake inspired by the Bengali sweet, flavoured with cardamom and saffron.
- Photo cake – An edible printed image on top, popular for birthdays and anniversaries.
- Eggless cupcakes – Sold individually or in boxes, often with swirled buttercream.
- Eggless brownies – A good test of skill – they should still be fudgy, not cakey.
