Eggless Racing Car Track Cake



Made this cake for my son's 8th birthday. Isn't this an apt cake for boy's 8th birthday??? My son asked me for a racing track cake, after a little google search for the shapes I came up with this. I could make my son and the guests happy with lovely cake.


This cake had a long photo session.. All my hard work paid off. Hard work not really. This cake is really very easy to make. Interested? Want to try? then follow the steps.


Ingredients (For Each Chocolate Cake Layer)

3/4 cup of Cake Flour
1/4 cup Cocoa Powder
1/2 cup Sugar
1/3 cup Yogurt
1/3 cup Oil
1/2 cup Water
1 teaspoon Vanilla Essence
1/2 teaspoon Baking Powder
1/2 teaspoon Baking Soda

For Icing

1 cups Baking Margarine 
Few drops of Green Colour
2 1/2 - 3 cups Icing Sugar
1 teaspoon Vanilla Essence



  1. I made a chocolate cakes for the base. You can use cakes of your choice for the base and follow from step2. For the chocolate cake : Pre heat oven at 180 degrees. Mix all the ingredients in the chocolate cake list, Pour the batter in a round baking pan. I have to bake 2 cakes so placed a baking sheet in the pan as it is easy this way when you are making more one cake. You just need to take the cake out along with the sheet, place another sheet, pour the batter for another cake and bake. Bake the cake for 25-30 minutes or till the toothpick inserted in the middle of the cake comes out clean. Let it cool. Remove the sheet. Make 2 cakes like this.   
  2. Now steps for making the Icing : Use the baking margarine at room temperature. Cut that into small cubes. Whisk it well till it is fluffy. Add few drops of green colour mix it well.   
  3. Add Icing sugar one cup at a time. Mix it well. Add more drops of green colour if required till you get the desired colour.
  4. Place the flat side up and the cut cake as shown in the picture. Cut and place another one cake by its side. Using the kitchen knife spread the icing on and around the cake.
  5. Sprinkle chocolate vermicelli on the cake. Make '8' shape with that. Pour the remaining icing in the piping bag with small flower nozzle. Pipe it around and inside the '8' shape. 
  6. Gently pour icing sugar on chocolate vermicelli for the track. You can also white icing for this. Now decorate it with small toy cars and flags. 
  7. It is not really difficult to make. Try it.
