Yes you can. I just did two of them this past weekend. You can use Merinque Powder instead of eggs. I think you use 2 teaspoons of powder and two tablespoons of water for 1 egg white. the directions are on the side of the merinque powder. Worked great and you definatly cant tell that you didnt use real eggs.

Someone here on CC told me to just add a can of soda to your cake mix and that is it. I did try it and it turned out just fine...but they were just cupcakes. I can not be sure how a whole cake would turn out, but I would imagine that it would be OK. Good luck!
Please be cautious about using meringue powder in eggless cakes. Meringue powder is dry egg white and can cause serious health issues for someone with severe egg allergies. My advice is not to use this product in baking an eggless cake.

I was just going to say the same thing.
Welcome to cake central, by the way.
Here's an eggless recipe I have had for about 30 years. I haven't made it in a long time and have never made it for a customer.
this recipe only makes an 8 inch single layer; so you'd have to double or quadruple it. Just for yourself, make the small recipe and try it first and see if you like it:
1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1 cup sugar
3 tbsp. cocoa
1 tsp. baking soda
12 tsp. salt
5 tbs. vegetable oil
1 tbsp. vinegar
1 tsp. vanilla
1 cup cold water
bake 30 minutes at 350 degrees F.

I am glad that you all told me that. I assumed that because it was not actually an egg that this would work. Thanks for the info. What would I do without Cake Central. I learn so much!!!!
I am allergic to eggs so I know quite a bit on the subject. First of all- the others are TOTALLY right. Meringue Powder in a cake would be deadly for me.
The recipe for the chocolate cake is one common option. There are others, but I don't know of any that would hold up in a sports ball shape. its' tough getting them to even stay together in a regular round cake. Eggless cakes are always soft and crumbly because of the lack of binder.

Really not sure what happened there? The link does however take you to a recipe I have used to make the mr tickle cake in my photo's and I am making a football pitch now with the same recipe I think it holds up really well.

The HEB at 59 & Grand Parkway carries Ener-G egg replacer (can't remember if it's on the baking aisle or the bulk/natural foods aisle). It is a vegan egg substitute that has not a trace of egg. Kroger also carries it in their Natural Foods section. It's about $5, but it doesn't seem to go bad (I've had mine for 4 years now) and contains the equivalent of 113 eggs.

THANKS alimonkey!! I will go buy some tomorrow and see if my kids can taste the difference! Thank you everyone for your advice and just answering my qestions!!
