Substitute for eggs required for ready cake mixes available in the market

[Guest guest]

I refer to the cake mixes that are available in the market, like Betty

Crocker, etc. Is there a non-animal substitute for the eggs that are

to be added to the contents of the mix? I'd like to bake some of the

cakes for my son and we always hit a stumbling block over the

substituion of eggs.

 

I'd be gratefl to someone who could guide me on this.

Ravi,

 

I normally use yogurt in place of eggs or liquid lecithin. Usually about 4 tbl

spoons of yogurt per egg or two of lecithin, but there is a book out

specifically for eggless baking. I'm sorry, I don't remember the name of the

book, but some friends of mine will know and I can email you with that

information later. Also, there is an egg replacer that most health food stores

carry that you might want to look into. Hope this helps.

I tend to use 1/4 cup of tofu or a flax egg mixture (1 Tbs ground flax

seed whipped up with 3 Tbs water, plus 1 tsp soy lecithin for a more

" eggy " taste, until frothy and gooey) to replace each egg. You can buy

commercial egg substitutes from health food/natural food stores.

 

Here is a web site with more ideas:

Applesauce apparently is a good substitution in baking, however I

don't know if it's a sub for eggs or butter or oil etc.

I think that is the whole point of using applesauce or mashed prunes -

to make stuff non-fat.

Hi - Just to add my two cents' Canadian to the pot: I don't make cakes cuz we

don't eat em, but I do make quickbreads of various kinds. When using a recipe

calling for eggs, I generally find I can use mashed banana or applesauce - but

I also add a good pinch of extra baking powder for each egg replaced. When

using a replacement simply as a binder in other dishes, I don't. I used to use

commercial egg replacer and will probably do so again just for the

convenience, but I haven't had any in for the past year and haven't noticed

any difference in the results.
