What happens if I don't use eggs in a cake?
My 2 year old is allergic to eggs. I know you can use jello as a subsitute( I don't know how), but what if I did not put eggs in at all or the jello. What would the cake be like? Dry, rubbery, flat...etc.
Answers:
It's better to use a recipe that doesn't call for eggs then to leave eggs out of one that does(cake mixes etc)
Here is a simple recipe and the cake comes out lovely.
No-Egg Wonder cake
INGREDIENTS:
1 3/4 cup sifted cake flour
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup cocoa
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup shortening
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 tablespoon vinegar
1 cup cold water
PREPARATION:
Sift dry ingredients together into a mixing bowl. Add remaining ingredients and beat until almost smooth. Pour into a greased and floured 9-inch square baking pan. Bake at 350° for about 30 minutes, or until a wooden pick or cake tester inserted in center comes out clean. Frost cake or serve with whipped topping.
Edit: I added a second link below that will tell you what to use as a substitute for eggs in various types of dishes.
