Cake or biscuit recipe with only 2 eggs please!!

kitschy

Hi there

Don't feel up to leaving the house today (was up until the wee hours after going to a concert in London) and want to do some baking, but only have two eggs!

All of my recipes seem to call for more than this - can anyone suggest any that my paltry two eggs will suffice for?

TY xx

Millies cookies only need one egg, recipe on the GC page one.

Or pick yourself something from here... http://www.be-ro.co.uk/index.asp

From memory a fair few of the biscuit / cake recipes use only one or two eggs.

Weigh the two eggs. Measure out the same weight of SR flour (or plain flour and just add a teaspoon of baking powder), sugar and butter/margarine, add a drop of vanilla or the zest of one orange or lemon and use to make a sponge cake mixture. Divide it up into the holes of a muffin tin, filling about 3/4 full (you'll probably get about six, I would think), bake at 180º till done (check after about 15 minutes), when cool slice them through the middle and fill with something nice - whipped cream, lemon curd, jam, whatever you fancy

The cookies I make don't use any eggs and they are delicious. Recipe is on here, see this post: http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showpost.php?p=35945981&postcount=228

You can replace the chocolate with whatever you have on hand to the same amount. I like to use a mix of chocolate and nuts.

Have a try at a coconut cake.

1 cup co!!!!
1 cup SR flour
1 cup sugar
1 cup milk.

Mix all together and pour into a loaf tin. In the oven for about 45min-1 hr at gas4/ 180c. Really delicious and you can have it into the oven in literally 40 seconds!

Thanks for that Rosie, my OH loves coconut cake, I am off to put this in the oven, but I just want to check - no eggs to stick it together at all?

Sorry, I just saw this now JG. A bit late now, but hope it came out ok? You should have a slightly sticky Jamaica gingerbread type cake, but with lots of coconut in it.
