Guest guest Posted September 26, 2005 Report Share Posted September 26, 2005 I thought the egg white of the egg can make the cake softer and more spongy too. I could be wrong because I have very little experience with cake making. So, is there a way to make the cake spongy without using egg white?

Guest guest Posted September 26, 2005 Report Share Posted September 26, 2005 Try working without the eggs, more with doughs. For example, I know digestivewellness.com sells Almond crackers without eggs, and they're very tasty. Try making those. Good Luck!

Guest guest Posted September 27, 2005 Report Share Posted September 27, 2005 I use EnerG brand's Powdered Egg Replacer. Or, ground flaxseed is a great binder in baked goods. Or, 1 1/2 TBSP Oil (tolerable), 1 1/2 TBSP Water, 1 tsp baking powder, scramble with a fork until it fizzes and it equals one egg. For extra moisture, add applesauce. > I wonder how to substitute egg for a cake recipe without using store bought > egg replacer.

Guest guest Posted September 27, 2005 Report Share Posted September 27, 2005 EnerG Egg replacer and Ground Flax are both NOT ALLOWED on SCD. There are a few suggestions for egg replacers and several egg free recipes on pecanbread.com. http://www.pecanbread.com/recipes.html Eggs serve three purposes in recipes: Moisture Leavening Binding 1/2 banana can be used to substitute one egg for the moisture. The baking soda/vinegar replacement works to help replace the leavening ability of an egg. The gelatin type replacements work to replace the binding ability of eggs. The best egg free results will usually come from substituting with more than one type of egg replacer to mimic the 3 functions of an egg.

Guest guest Posted September 27, 2005 Report Share Posted September 27, 2005 Hi buddybearsmom, Sorry, but both commercial egg replacers and ground flaxseed (incuding the fluid from soaking flaxseeds) are SCD illegal. see http://www.breakingtheviciouscycle.info/knowledge_base/kb/flax_seed_and _flax_seed_oil.htm There are some SCD legal egg replacement ideas at http://pecanbread.com/recipes.html just scroll down to " Egg replacers " Sheila, SCD 55 mos, 21 yrs UC mom of , SCD 40 mos > I use EnerG brand's Powdered Egg Replacer.
