Egg Less Strawberry Pound Cake

A piece of cake-everything around seems to brightened.Cakes have become such a synonym for celebration to us. Be it an anniversary,get together or an achievement we have learned to celebrate it with a cake.And what could be more good,if the cake is home made and caters every need of yours,that's what exactly happened to me :). This cake is to celebrate a small yet very important mile stone for me in this blog front.This is my 250th post,I some how missed 200th one,so wanted to celebrate this :). Here I would like to thank all my readers,friends and each and every one who never fa to encourage me with this venture. Now coming to this cake,this cake satisfied each and every need of mine I should say.An egg less cake with perfect texture,taste,soft yet firm enough to slice and most important-it is pretty!!. Yes I was really amazed by the look of the cake once it came out.I recently purchased a bundt cake pan online,I baked this cake in that pan and I am pretty happy with the results.I did not grease or dust the pan,just washed it thoroughly before use,and cake came out of the pan like a breeze.All together a very happy baking experience with this cake.When I bought a pack of strawberry I wanted to bake a cake but not the usual cheese cake.So I searched searched and searched but did not find an egg less recipe to hook me up.But once I saw this recipe,I was all set to bake,as mentioned in the recipe itself I substituted strawberries instead of blueberries and my cake won a thumbs up from everyone who tasted.Though I did not have tofu as mentioned in the recipe,I used sweetened condensed milk instead of that and proceeded with the recipe.Here you go :)
