This is one of my regulars- Wartime eggless chocolate buns

It makes really moist chocolatey buns.I've used butter instead of marge for flavour.

Sift together
8 oz self-raising flour
1 oz cocoa
3 oz sugar

Melt 3 oz butter and add to the bowl.

In another bowl,pour
7.5 fl oz of hot water
Add
1 tbsp golden syrup
1 tsp bicarbonate of soda

It will fizz,add it to the rest of the ingredients and mix well.
Spoon into greased bun tins and bake at 180c/gas4 for 15 mins.

This mixture usually makes about 15 buns so use 2 12 hole tins.
I like to top these with melted chocolate.Buttercream is good too.
You can also add orange zest.
I would imagine the butter could be replaced with vegetable oil

Another good one was this which I tried this morning,although I found you needed to raise the oven temp a bit.

I've just eaten two of thriftlady's buns I just made.

I wanted to make something for DH to come home from work to too (he's not a Daddy though) and came onto OS to search for eggless recipes as we have lost 2 of our hens recently and the other 4 aren't laying well so no eggs today.

I tried searching but "eggless" didn't occur to me and "egg-free" didn't work... I was just about to give up when I saw this thread. Thanks! :T :j

Glad to help:T

The recipe is based on one from The Victory Cookbook by Marguerite Patten (very closely based:o ).There are many egg-free bakes in her wartime books.

scones or wheetabix cake (see the index) are the only no egg cakes I can think of.

Queenie's got a rationing recipe which uses vinegar instead of eggs, don't know if it's on here but she was talking about it this week! Try PMing her;)

The Sikh mums used to bring in eggless cakes for me to share out with the class- they were sponge cakes and very nice!!
