Banana Cake????

Question

Does anyone have a banana cake recipe that only requires 1 egg? All the recipes I have seen need 2. Also Martha Stewart said that if you want you can halve the amount of sugar in any cake recipe. How does this affect the texture?

A few of you have talked about substituting egg with oil or applesauce. How much oil or applesauce should I use?

Answer 1

you can make the cake with one egg.
also, in some cases, 1lg. egg counts as 2sm eggs.
and box banana cakes are awesome! you can always use 1 egg in those, just add a tiny bit more water or oil.

now I want to make one... mmmmmmmm

Answer 2

I only know of a recipe for banana cake that calls for two eggs..however like someone else mentioned you could substitute applesauce for the other egg or even mayonnaise. And yes, you can halve the sugar in cakes..I do it all the time because I don't want my kids so hyper and the cakes always come out fine. Good luck!

Answer 3

I found a recipe for a "No-Egg Banana Cake". You can find it at www.recipezaar.com You can see if this is the right recipe that you are looking for. Or you can just go to " ask.com" and type in one-egg banana cake recipes and you will get lots of web-sites. Hope this helps you out.

Answer 4

You can add extra oil (or even extra applesauce) to replace the egg (you may want to decrease the flour a bit--by a quarter cup or so). The sugar decrease will not affect the texture.

Answer 5

Duncan HInes makes a great banana cake mix, it's a whole lot better than from scratch.

Answer 6

If you beat the egg white to a peak and fold into any cake mixture, it makes it fuffy.

Answer 7

be care about subsuting oil or applesauce for your eggs as the eggs are a leavening agent and your product will not rise...........
