What is a good egg substitue in a cake?!
?1 egg = 1/4 cup puréed prunes
?1 egg = 1/4 cup applesauce: Great in desserts.
?1 egg = 1 mashed banana: Also good in desserts, but will make the final product more dense. Add 1/2 tsp. baking powder for a lighter texture.
?1 egg = 2 Tbsp. water + 1 Tbsp. oil + 2 tsp. baking powder
?1 egg = 1/4 cup mashed potatoes: Works as a binder in appropriate recipes.
?1 egg = 1 Tbsp. ground flax seed simmered in 3 Tbsp. water: Great for adding healthy omega-3 fatty acids to a dish.
?1 egg white = 1 Tbsp. plain agar powder dissolved in 1 Tbsp. water, whipped, chilled, and whipped again.
Answers: ?1 egg = 2 Tbsp. potato starch: Try this when you need an egg replacer that binds.

Here is a long list of things to use instead of egg in any recipe, including cake recipes:

My favorite thing to use when baking is either mashed banana, silken tofu, agar agar and apple sauce, or other things. The concrete measurements and suggestions are listed on that site. It's super thorough, better than I can further elaborate here. Happy cooking!
"Eggbeaters", its an egg substitute, without the chloleterol, yet all the protein. Your grocery store will carry it....
I adapted a lot of vegan recipes to also be gluten free. One thing I found to work well was pureed dates and xanthan gum. Play around with the substitution, about 1 egg= 1/4-1/2 cup dates.
* Arrowroot powder
* Cornstarch
* Flour (whisked with water before adding)
* Nut / Seed Butters - for binding
* Tofu
* Ground flaxseed
* Commercial egg replacers... orgran is a brand I sometimes use
"Ener G" Egg Replacer.
It's a yellow box with a red kanji (Japanese letter)
It' around seven bucks and it's worth 100 eggs.
You may find it at Whole Foods, Wild Oats, Sunflower Market and Trader Joe's. Also, it may be present at a health store or at Pangea's (a vegan online store)
This may be used for anything but scrambled eggs... For those, use tofu!
- Corn is not healthy... -
Brand: "ORGRAN"
Product: "NO EGG"
This stuff is AWESOME. It's a vegan powder that you mix with water to make a glue-ish paste that will bind your ingredients. You can use as an egg replacer in cakes etc.
DO NOT follow quantity instructions on the box or your cake will be a little dry. ALWAYS use a bit more than what the box says!
This is a choclate cake recipe that is great without eggs
Ingredients
3 cups flour (680 grams)
2 cups sugar (450 grams) (read this first)
6 tablespoons cocoa (100 grams)
2 teaspoons baking soda (10 cc's = 10 ml)
1 teaspoon salt (5 cc's = 5 ml)
3/4 cup vegetable oil (200 cc's)
2 tablespoon vinegar (30 cc's)
2 teaspoon vanilla (10 cc's)
2 cup cold water (480 cc's)
Directions
Mix the dry ingredients. Add the wet ingredients. Stir until smooth. Bake two greased, floured pans at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. Makes two layers of a two-layer 9-inch or 8-inch round cake, or one small sheet cake. When cool, frost it.
Eat.
This is an amazing recipe but as you can see its got oil and baking soda but no fancy ingriedents and it is really good tasting cake.
I've had very good luck with cornstarch, especially in "box cakes" (you know, betty crocker or DUncan Heins packaged cake mix that you add eggs, oil and water and bake)
I believe it's 1 1/2 T cornstarch and 2 T water to replace one egg (so, if the recipe calls for 3 eggs, you'd multiply it)
Throw in a bit extra, just to be sure, and it usually turns out perfect texture and doesn't even taste any different than "non-vegan cake!"
