Substitution For Applesauce In Vegan Cake?
Baking By kstgelais4 Updated 2 Sep 2006 , 4:36am by CakeDiva73
I need a substitute for applesauce in the vegan chocolate cake. Obviously it has to be a vegan ingredient. Can someone help me?
TIA!

virtually any fruit-type baby food will work...as will whipped tofu, veggie mayonaise( no egg) or ground flax seed
Is apple a no, no for vegans ?
I didn't realize Apple is bad for vegetarians. wow ! 
A few years back, there was a product that was advertised as a replacement for oil in baked goods, and it was basically pureed prunes. It worked well, and especially in chocolate cake, there was no difference in taste from using oil. I don't know if they still sell it or not. It seems to me that it was a Sunsweet brand product.
Baby food prunes would be just about the same thing. I would think pureed pears would as well, since pears and apples have similar textures and tastes.
I'm sure there's a reason you don't want to use the apples - if you share the reason, it may be easier for people to suggest other things.
hth!

I'm assuming there is another reason for not using the applesauce, other than a vegan related issue? Because applesauce is vegan.
I'd recommend taking some aspetic packaged silken tofu, whizzing it up in a blender. Make sure you get it nice and whizzed so there aren't any chunks.
lol... no, I didn't mean because the apple wasn't vegan. It is because the customer is allergic to it. sorry for the confusion, and thank you for the ideas guys!
