Egg free cake

[Ellie18]

Does anyone have a good cake recipe with no eggs - i have found a few online but mostly american or have odd ingredients like vinegar!

Its for a one year olds birthday party

Just putting this onto threads I'm on. Am sure I've got an egg free sponge cake recipe in one of my books, just got to settle rowdy dcs first...

Hang on - think I posted one here ages ago...

And indeed I did - here. It's gorgeous, and has been eaten by 1 yos with relish. Not sure how well it would ice, though.

I have a couple of recipes - shall report back later once dc are asleep.

Okay this is an ordinary chocolate sponge from a book I use to make all my basic sponge cakes. I haven't done the egg free one but the gluten free one in there works well. It's the sort of cake that can be covered in ready to roll icing or buttercream.

For a 7" cake you need 2 7" tins, greases and lined.

Preheat oven to 190 deg C.

40g vegetable margarine
80g sugar
80g golden syrup
3/4 tsp bicarb of soda
200ml milk
280g self raising flour
40g cocoa powder but could substitute plain flour instead and add 1/2 tsp vanilla essence

Cream together marg, sugar and syrup in a bowl

In another bowl dissolve the bicarb of soda in the milk

Blend the flours and cocoa powder in another bowl then add a bit of the milk mix then the marg mix alternately.

You should end up with a thick batter

Divide the mixture evenly between the 2 tins and bake for approximately half an hour or until a skewer into the middle comes out clean.

Here are a couple of cake recipes that I have added to the recipe section here previously.

Chocolate Cake

Carrot, Apple and Raisin Cake

My littlest DD is allergic to dairy and egg and we use these recipes quite a bit and all the dc love them

Oh, forgot to say that a 7" will feed about 18 children if you're doing party bag sized slices.

I've also got the measurements for a 5", 6" and 8" if you want more/less portions.
