Hi all, I'm a long time lurker, but not a regular poster!
My youngest son is about to have his first birthday, and of course he needs a birthday cake. Only problem is we think he is allergic to eggs (awaiting allergy testing at the hospital - so avoiding eggs until that time!)
Does anyone have a reliable egg free sponge recipe - I do bake regularly, so if it is more complicated than a normal sponge - please still post a reply.

thanks all for any help.

I have read that silken tofu can be used to replace egg in a recipe, never tried it though so not sure if that's any help Sorry!

EGGLESS SPONGE CAKE

2 cups self raising flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 cup sugar
(about 1/4 cup cocoa powder if you want a chocolate cake)

1/2 cup oil (extra virgin olive oil might impair the taste a bit!)
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup orange juice
(if you haven't got orange juice, use water and add a couple of tbs of vinegar (even brown will do)
2 tsp vanilla (or any other flavour you like) essence

Sieve together the dry ingredients. Mix the liquid ingredients in a jug, then mix into the dry ingredients until it is like a batter. You can add a bag of chocolate chips to it if you want.

This makes a 10" x 8" cake (bake @ 180c for about 40 minutes)
OR 24(ish) small buns (bake @180c for about 15 minutes)
OR 1 8" round cake (bake @ 160c for about an hour)

This never fails.:D
