Egg-free/ Eggless cake recipes?

Hi, there! We have several egg-free cake recipes. I'll add your question to them and you'll get lots of suggestions.

My dd (also now 8) is now able to tolerate cake with eggs in but I continue to make eggless muffin style cakes as mentioned earlier. They're cheaper for one thing.

Morganlefay I think your best bet is to make a big cake and cut it to size then freeze the leftovers for use in trifles or just to eat plain.

Does anybody happen to have an eggless chocolate cake recipe?

thriftlady_2

Certainly do

This is one of my regulars- Wartime eggless chocolate buns. I've made it as a 7 inch cake too -just increase the baking time by 5-10 mins.

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 need to make two sponge cakes tonight I have no eggs and no means to get any tonight.
One plain and one coconut

I know from past experience that googled eggless sponges usually fail on me. Or they demand condensed milk, chocolate or soy milk, which I don't have.

So I thought I'd come here and beg, because lets face it if there is a decent recipe for it (That is tried and tested) one of you guys will have it.

These are what I have in my cupboard in terms of cakey ingredients
Plain Flour
Self-Raising Flour
Corn Flour
Cream of Tartar
Bicarbonate of Soda
Baking Powder
Soft/and Hard cooking Marg
Vegetable Oil
Vanilla Essence
Lemon juice
Dessicated coconut
Vinegar
Powdered Milk

I'm looking for a recipe that you have personally used so I know it works. Every googled one I have used in the past has failed.

Thanks in advance

Thanks Penny you're a gem as always but I've just scanned that and the only sponge recipes on there need soy milk or chocolate or other stuff I don't have.
I've tried using powdered skimmed cows milk instead of soy before and it never works in cakes.

now I know where I got my recipe from! just thanked her a year later!

I made these last year for my MIL on mothersday as she was on a restrictive diet at the time, and we all loved them so much I make them anyway now
