Eggless Torta Delle Rose Del Grada/Eggless Italian Rose Cake

Life is full of challenges, even bloggy world is not exceptionnal too, we have loads of cooking and baking challenges. Since i love challenges, am a member of many challenges and one among those challenges is Baking Eggless,a monthly event owned by Gayathri.Our this month's challenge is fantastic Italian Rose cake, this yeasted bread was chosed by Gayathri, actually this bread is called Rose cake which is loaded with eggs, trust me this challenge wasnt that much easy and seriously i think the members of this group will definitely break their heads to make this beautiful bread as eggless. This bread also goes for two days of preparation to get ready and the final bread is super addictive. Yes one cant stop just with one piece. Actually, i was like how am going to do this cake as eggless once Gayathri announced about this month's challenge, coz the number of eggs used in this bread is definitely very challenging to replace.

But a proverb came to my mind,yes Where there's a will, there's a way. I tried my hands finally making this beautiful bread last week.I started gathering the ingredients slowly in evening and finished baking the next day.I replaced the quantities of eggs with yogurt,bakingsoda,fresh cream and my bread came out extremely fabulous.Seriously we didnt missed the eggs here and this buttery rolls are just awesome.
