After some research I found that using apple sauce to bind the cake was the most promising route to choose, since I didn’t have any eggs to use instead. The cake came out moist and delicious! I was worried the crumb would be extremely dense but I was pleasantly surprised. It had a very mild apple flavor which was extremely pleasing. The only thing I would change is removing some sugar from the ingredients, may a 1/4 cup; I didn’t take into consideration the sweetness the apple sauce would bring, but it wasn’t overwhelming. This is a great cake for those with an egg allergy! I promise you will be pleased, my family sure was!
Eggless White Cake

- 1+3/4 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 cup milk
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour cake pan or line a muffin pan with paper liners.

awesome! I’m not too sure if this is correct, i’m no cook but just what i heard, that apparently eggs aren’t even really needed in baking at all. They supposedly add eggs because baking was “too easy” and adding an egg made people feel like they were doing something more… hmm, i’m gullable and believe too much, but hey, still interesting.
Eggs are very much needed in a lot of baking. Not only does it help bind all the ingredients together, they add flavor, fat, color, emulsify the ingredients for a smooth texture and help the cake rise. You couldn’t have an angel food cake with out many, many egg whites!
Ahh yes, i figured they had importance! Maybe it wasn’t even eggs and i’m just confused haha! But thanks for filling me in 🙂
haha, my pleasure!
yum would love to try this out soon!
Made this cake to surprise my parents…loved it !!
So happy to hear that. glad you enjoyed it!
Is the texture dense or very fluffy. Also do u have any other eggless receipe
I tied this cake but the texture was too dense any ideas why? I followed the exact receipe
My apologies for not getting back to you before you actually made the cake! This would undoubtedly be a more dense cake. Eggs act as an emulsifying agent, meaning that not only does it help bind but as the batter is being worked, it aerates and captures CO2 bubbles to create the light, fluffy texture we know so well in cakes. Unfortunately, applesauce won’t quite create that same texture but in turn still acts as a binding agent. I’m not quite sure what you did wrong, if anything. Maybe your opinion on how you like this new density of the cake was the determining factor of its success.
