Replacing eggs in a recipe

[Guest guest]

I just wanted to thank everyone for their suggestions on how to replace eggs in

a recipe. One

I found especially useful was the website vegetarian.about.com where they

actually tell you

that half a banana will replace one egg - I knew bananas could replace eggs, i

just didn't

know how much to use.

 

Well, I made two batches of my Friendship (fruit) cakes. The first one I used a

whole banana

to replace two of the four eggs and then Egg Replacer for the other two, plus 2

extra

Tablespoons of water. That batch turned out rather gooey. So, I read some more

and saw a

suggestion to add more baking powder when using Egg Replacer. So, in my next

batch I did

as above, but added 2 teaspoons of baking powder to my cake mix. And other than

being a

little sticky, the cakes turned out almost like when I used eggs. Now, if I ever

get brave

enough I'll try to figure out how to make these cakes from scratch instead of

using a cake

mix.

 

Thanks!
