What can you substitude eggs with when making a cake?

Question

I'm out of eggs, and I'm snowed in. What else could I use in place of that?

Answer 1

You should just add a couple of extra tablespoons of water to compensate for the moisture. Another good substitute in muffins quick breads is one heaping tablspoon of cornstarch or arrowroot mixed with two tablespoons of cold water, per egg. And if you don't mind altering the flavour a bit, half a banana, mashed, substitutes quite nicely for an egg. Silken tofu can replace the traditional cream cheese and egg in cheesecake, and tahini is a great way to keep vegetarian loaves and burgers together. Of course, there are always commercial egg replacers that will still work if you have them.

Answer 2

You can try apple sauce - it substitutes well.

Answer 3

mayonaise
