What happens if I don't use eggs in a cake?!


Question:

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.
