Eggless Cake suggestions (Egg replacer recipes!)

[Guest guest]

I have made Crazy cake without the cocoa; it turned out OK, but not great. I

think it is because you need something to replace the 1/2 cup or so of cocoa

powder. I'm thinking vanilla pudding mix...Yum!

 

Egg Replacement Tips and Tricks

 

Many vegan cooks already know about the two most popular ways to replace eggs in

a dish: using Ener-G Egg Replacer for baking, and using tofu for scrambles,

quiches, or custards. But there are many other options out there that may

perform better, depending on your recipe.

 

Here's a quick rundown on other egg replacement options:

 

•1 egg = 2 Tbsp. potato starch: Try this when you need an egg replacer that

binds.

 

•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.

 

Remember that it's important to choose the appropriate replacer for each dish.

Puréed prunes won't work in an " omelet, " and mashed potatoes probably won't make

the most convincing angel food cake. It's important to think about the function

of the egg you are replacing—is it there for binding or leavening?—and think

about the flavors of the dish. And after a little trial and error, you'll find

at least one way to replace the eggs in just about any dish.

Kathleen,

Try VCR for the cocoa, I can loan you some to try. It is better than

carob and made from wheat. You can order it from natural way mills.

Their website is www.naturalwaymills.com

Kathleen........you, my dear, are a genius! Powdered pudding mix sounds

like it would be perfect!!! And thanks for the egg replacement chart.
