Answer 1

Stuff around your kitchen:
1 whole egg = 2 tbsp water + 1 tbsp oil + 2 tsp baking powder

1 egg = 2 tbsp water + 2 tsp baking powder

Answer 2

Does it ask for 3 eggs or 3 large eggs?
If its 3 eggs, then 2 large eggs should be Ok.

Answer 3

1/4 cup applesauce and 1/4 tsp baking powder. (Works best with muffins) If you dont use the 3rd egg your cake will be the consistancy of a brownie cake. Very dense so you need the baking powder to make it rise.

Answer 4

I seem to run out of eggs all the time when I am baking. I substitute about 1/4 cup of melted butter. Works great.

Answer 5

Fruit makes an remarkable alternative for eggs - attempt bananas, apple puree or any severe pectin content cloth fruit. many times one million/4 cup of banana will replace one million egg. Tofu is remarkable as a alternative, as this is going to take on the flavour of regardless of you're cooking it with. As a conventional rule, one million/4 cup of tofu will replace one million egg. Whip or beat it earlier including it to the recipe.

Answer 6

You can technically use 1 tsp. yeast dissolved in 1/4 cup warm water in place of one egg--but in general you don't want to deviate from baking instructions. It's definitely more of a perfect science than cooking is.

Answer 7

your cake may not rise as much but using 2 eggs will not alter the taste.

Answer 8

add a little mayonaisse. I've made cakes with JUST mayo. It will work. If you're making chocolate cake it will have a devil dog cake kind of taste.
