Egg & Dairy free Baking - any good recipes?

[SuperBunny]

I am looking to expand my repertoire of vegan recipes - does anyone have any really good cake or biscuit recipes? Or links to websites? Thanks

I have borrowed Vegan cupcakes take over the world from the library and it is fab!

Here are some of my recipes..

Chocolate Brownies

Chocolate Cake

Carrot, Apple and Raisin Cake

Oaty Cookies

My little dd is allergic to egg and dairy so I have quite a few recipes - Hope these are useful

Thanks Stirling, they look good

I know you can substitute apple sauce for eggs, so I imagine this would work:

YUMMY ALMOND MUFFINS

2 1/2 cups ground almonds
1/2 cup honey
1/4 cup butter
normally the recipe calls for 3 eggs, so I'd guess 3/4 cups apple sauce or egg substitute
huge dash cinnamon
big splash vanilla essence
1/8 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking soda

Mix, bake at 365-375 F (depending on your oven) for 22-25 min (they should be golden brown)

They sounds really good, thanks jacksmama

I have a book that suggests substituting eggs with 50ml of cold custard made with custard powder and rice milk plus one tsp of baking powder per 110g flour in the recipe.

I made DS's birthday cake using one of the moulded lakeland tins and substituted the eggs in the recipe as above and it was very successful.

I didn't know about that - I know you can use banana, apple sauce and flax seed. Will try the custard powder next time

thanks for this thread - just found out my dd allergic to egg and she is three soon so i came here looking for a birthday cake recipe

so pleased to see there are some lovely options out there

custard powder would contain egg too i think?

has anyone tried using apple sauce?

You can also get an egg-replacement powder, which looks quite like custard powder, and sometimes I use that in cakes although I prefer to find recipes that dont need egg.

Our hospital gave me some of the powder but I have seen it in health food shops etc.

I often use apple sauce or banana as an egg replacer.

Do you need birthday cake recipes? DS's birthday cake was vegan and was the best cake I've made- and I bake a lot!

I am always looking for new recipes.

That would be nice, thanks.

yes please superbunny

can you explain how to use bananas instead? is it one small banana, mashed, instead of one egg? so if recipe says 3 eggs, use 3 bananas?

Egg alternatives in Baking

Flax Seeds
1 Tbs flax seeds (whole) OR 2 ½ tbsp ground + 3 tbs water = one egg. Beat well.

Use in: pancakes, whole grain items, bran or corn muffins, oatmeal cookies

Silken Tofu
1/4 cup blended silken tofu = 1 egg. Whiz til completely smooth, add other wet ings.

Use in: Dense cakes, brownies, and in smaller quantites for lighter cakes and fluffy things (if the recipe calls for 3 eggs only use 2 "tofu" eggs").

Ener-G Egg Replacer
1 1/2 tablespoons + 2 tablespoons water mixed well = 1 egg

Use in: cookies, or things that are supposed to be a little crispy.

Bananas
1/2 ripe banana blended until smooth or mashed well= 1 egg.

Use in: Quick breads, muffins, cakes, pancakes

Soy yogurt :
1/4 cup soy yogurt = 1 egg.

Use in:: Quick breads, muffins, cakes

Applesauce:
1/4 cup of applesauce, canned pumpkin or squash, or pureed prunes are binders.

These give baked goods a heavier texture, so you may want to add an extra 1/2 tsp. of baking powder. They can also flavor the finished product, so use with caution
OR:
Mix together 1 tsp Baking Powder, 1/2 tsp Baking Soda, 2 Tbsp Flour, 3 Tbsp Water
2 tablespoons of cornstarch beaten with 2 tablespoons of water.

My recipe for chocolate cake is for cupcakes but you could do it in a cake tin instead. I just remember it is in cups though, so might not be any good to you:

Here it is anyway.

Makes 12

1 c milk
1 tsp vinegar (red wine// apple cider)
¾ c white sugar
1/3 c canola (or veg) oil
1 tsp vanilla
½ tsp almond/ chocolate extract or more vanilla
1 c flour
1/3 c cocoa
¾ tsp soda
½ tsp powder
¼ tsp salt

350

Whisk milk & vinegar, leave to curdle
Add sugar, oilm vanilla, beat til foamy
Sift dry stuff
Add in tow batches to wet til mixed
Pour ¾ into cups

Frost with white, peanut butter frosting, ganache, coconut

Or Add coffee powder or orange to the mix

thanks very much! great info xx
