Too many eggs - what cake should I make?

[CoCoaButter85]

I have too many eggs that are going to expire. I'm thinking making a cake would use quite a lot of them. any ideas for cakes that need lots of eggs???😊

A genoise sponge uses a lot.

Or a pavlova.

Magic custard cake?

A pound cake? I then slice and refreeze each slice so I can grab one for packed lunches or a snack.

You can rely on a chicken farm to have lots of recipes that use lots of eggs!!

Simple chocolate mousse.

Melt 100g 40%-70% chocolate depending on taste. Add 4 egg yolks and mix. Fold in 4 stiffly whisked egg whites. Chill.

Nigellas apple almond cake uses 8.

Don’t forget they last much longer than the dates on the box though. You can check freshness by putting them in a jug of water - as long as they don’t float they’re fine.

You can also make a savoury strata which is basically a breakfast bread pudding - this one is a good recipe using up 9(!) eggs and there is a spinach gruyere version on the same website too: https://smittenkitchen.com/2014/09/corn-cheddar-and-scallion-strata/

This is excellent. 👌🏼

That's a very good point, I happily use eggs with a date stamp from several weeks ago.

I don't have any eggs but joining because I want to read about cakes. sits quietly in the corner

The almond and orange one where you boil and liquidise the oranges

i think it’s on Nigella’s site as well. It takes six eggs.

I’d just boil them up and have lots of nice hard boiled eggs. Yum. 🥚🥚🥚

Did you make anything?

Watching this avidly as I realised earlier that we have somehow accumulated 30 eggs over the last month.

The DDs had dippy eggs for tea, so now I have a mere 26 to deal with 😁

Picked eggs will keep and a quiche uses up a lot too.

I prefer your cake idea. I'm shamelessly here for that 👀

Bacon and cheese egg muffins

Frittata

Baked eggs

Etc. (Savoury tooth here as you can see!).

I'd make a selection of different cakes and freeze most of them for a rainy day:

I'd bake a madeira cake - this one is lovely
