Is there such a thing? I have a client that ordered a cake for her son's 2nd birthday for Dec. She called because she recently found out her son is allergic to eggs. She wants an entire cake to be eggless if possible. I have never heard of a recipe but told her I would start searching. If anyone has any insite on this please let me know. Thanks!

Bonnie, Google egg free cake recipes and you'll get a bunch of sites that come up!!

I'm supposed to be working on my paper and here I am cruising the internet....

Bonnie - in a lot of cases you can use applesauce as a substitute for eggs. You can also find egg replacer (not to be confused with egg substitute) that works great in baking recipes. It can usually be found in health food stores & supermarkets that have a natural food section. It's made by Ener-G in a yellow & orange-red box.

I emailed a friend of mine who has a daughter that suffers from a severe egg allergy and this is the reply I recieved

Hiya Michelle,

The original 'eggless' recipe I used is:

2oz Butter
1oz Cocoa
2oz Brown sugar
6floz Milk
5oz Self raising flour
3 quarters tsp bicarb
2 tblsp treacle(molasses)

Oven 180'

Grease and line 8inch shallow cake tin or use cake cases.
Sift dry ingredients into bowl.
Melt butter, sugar and treacle and when melted add milk.
Add wet to dry and beat well.
Pour into tin and bake for approx 25 to 30 mins.

For plain sponge I changed the treacle for golden syrup (corn syrup), used white sugar and 1 extra ounce of flour instead of the cocoa.

It tastes quite like a gateau sponge, moist, light but heavy....if you know what I mean, which isn't unpleasant and Jessica (our egg problem) loves it.

HOWEVER, I have experimented and found that I can make a pretty good cake just using milk instead of egg and adding a teaspoon or extra raising agent. Also, oyu can buy non egg egg from a company called Naturally Good Food Ltd - www.goodfooddelivery.co.uk. Reasonably priced and it does help cakes raise.

Hope this helps...let me know if I can help any further!

An excellent cake - I use it regularly for daughter's allergic friend.

You guys are awesome! Thanks!

I made an egg free cake in March. I used oil and applesauce in place of the eggs. Other alternatives are bananas and more. But the ener-g doesn't work in cake mixes; which is what I used. Beware that the cake will be very thin!

My nephew has egg and nut allergies. I found this chocolate cake recipe and it tastes really good. I make this every family function!

Egg-Free, Dairy-Free, Nut-Free Cake

INGREDIENTS:
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup white sugar
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
5 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 tablespoon white vinegar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup cold water
1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

DIRECTIONS:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease an 8x8 inch baking pan.
2. In a large bowl, combine flour, salt, sugar, cocoa powder, and baking soda. Mix well with a fork, then stir in oil, vinegar, and vanilla extract. When dry ingredients are thoroughly moistened, pour in cold water and stir until batter is smooth. Stir in chocolate chips and pour batter into prepared pan.
3. Bake in preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool on a rack.

NOTE: This cake does not rise that much.

ALSO, don't forget....I make the Wilton Class Buttercream, but I just eliminate the meringue powder and it works out just the same!

cmmom, went you said you made the buttercream with out the meringue powder ... did it taste the same ??? let us know we all baker can save some $

It did taste the same! If my memory serves me correctly, I think you put the meringue powder in to make the frosting stiffer to make flowers, etc. But it works just fine to cover cake and do simple decorations like stars and such. HTH

The meringue powder is not for flavor. so it will work fine without it and taste the same also

Bonnie,

I forgot to add that I got my original recipe from www.allrecipes.com. You can check there to see if you want to try other egg-free recipes.

Because of my nephew's allergies, I've gotten a couple new clients because of their allergic kids!! Would you believe I made a cake for an 8-year old that never had a decorated cake because of his allergies!! It was awesome for me that I could do that for him. His mom comes to me from now on.

A whole new client base out there for the asking. You know bakeries won't be making the allergy-free cakes. I have that I make allergy-free cakes for an extra charge on my brochures.
