can i make cakes without eggs? will it be soft?

Answer 1

You sure can.Eggs are basically used for two reasons.
1.To bind the batter together.
2.Too add taste and texture.
You can accomplish this by using any egg substitute,there are a variety on the market.You can also make your own with flax seeds and water.You grind the flax seeds to a powder consistency using a food-processor and then you add enough water to make a smoothie consistency.Let this sit in your fridge overnight and the next day you will notice that it has become somewhat gelatinous.Use about the same measure an egg would give you an voila you have a binding agent.Although this does not replicate the taste of eggs it is pretty effective in recipes requiring eggs.You will find a plethora of recipes on the Internet,and in many cookbooks,good luck.
