I only have 2 eggs and the recipe calls for three!?

Question

It's just a box of cake mix. Anyone know of any replacements? I don't want to have to run to the store if I don't have to.

Answer 1

Here ya go:
2 tbsp corn starch = 1 egg
2 tbsp arrowroot flour = 1 egg
2 tbsp potato starch = 1 egg
1 heaping tbsp soy powder + 2 tbsp water = 1 egg
1 tbsp soy milk powder + 1 tbsp cornstarch + 2 tbsp water = 1 egg.
1 banana = 1 egg in cakes.

Answer 2

2 eggs will probably work but if you add 1 tablespoon of viniger to your water the vinger will work with the baking soda already in the mix & raise your cake. I have an old recipe for cake I have used for ever. No eggs at all. 2tsp. of baking soda & 1 tblsp. of vingar & it has always been my families favorite cake. A scratch cake of course but one that goes together as fast as any cake mix.

Answer 3

Use 2/3 of the mix in the box and save the rest for another time.

Answer 4

You could use a little oil and water. You should have 3/4 cup of liquid total (1 egg = 1/4 cup).

Answer 5

Well, until another species forms and you can use that egg, you'll have to stick with chicken eggs. You'll probably have to go to the store, I don't really know any substitutions. Of course, you could always just add the two, add a little bit of water to make it moist, and it might turn out alright.

Answer 6

Add some mayonaise,, its amazing how light your cake will be.. I just use a big tablespoon.
Hope your cake turns out good.

Answer 7

nah just use two & add an extra tsp of oil you will be fine
you could use 1/2 tablespoon of mayo too... its made if eggs and oil so it wont taste funny
