Hey everyone!

I’m planning to bake a cake this weekend, but I just realized I’m out of eggs. :sweat_smile: Does anyone know if it’s possible to make a cake without eggs? If so, what are some good substitutes? I want the cake to still be fluffy and delicious. Any tips or recipes would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks Thanks :cupcake:

Hey there, no eggs, no problem. You can still bake a delicious cake this weekend. Many recipes use egg substitutes that keep your cake fluffy. Applesauce, yogurt, or even mashed banana can all work. Search online for “eggless cake recipes” and you’ll find tons of options.

ou can make a delicious cake without eggs using various substitutes. For a fluffy texture, try using 1/4 cup of unsweetened applesauce per egg, which adds moisture and helps bind ingredients. Alternatively, mashed ripe banana or 1/4 cup of plain yogurt or buttermilk per egg also work well, contributing to a tender crumb. Silken tofu blended until smooth can replace eggs, providing binding properties and moisture. Another option is 1 tablespoon of ground flaxseed meal mixed with 3 tablespoons of water per egg, allowing it to thicken before use; this adds a slight nutty flavor and works effectively in denser cakes. Each substitute offers unique benefits, so choosing one depends on your desired texture and flavor. Happy baking! :cake:

Yes! Eggs aren’t essential for cakes. You can use applesauce, mashed banana, yogurt, or even special egg replacers. Plenty of delicious egg-free cake recipes online!

Absolutely! You can bake delicious cakes without eggs. Eggs play a role in binding and leavening (making the cake rise), but there are clever replacements:

  • Fruit Purees: Applesauce, mashed banana, or pumpkin puree can add moisture and some rise.
  • Flaxseed Meal: Mix ground flaxseed with water to create a sticky, egg-like substitute.
  • Yogurt or Buttermilk: These add moisture and a touch of tang, perfect for some cake recipes.
  • Commercial Egg Replacer: These are readily available in baking stores and work well in many recipes.

When I worked in a traditional bakery, we would utilize specialty powders in place of eggs for this recipe. However, I’ve heard you can make it at home; simply search for “egg free cake recipe” online.

You may replace the egg in most cake recipes. Use 1/4 cup of apple sauce or half a banana for per egg. You may purchase egg substitutes as well, but if you’re only baking one cake, I recommend the other two approaches.
