Have you ever used reconstituted meringue powder instead of egg whites in a white cake recipe? I hate having all the yolks around...

Any help?

No i haven't..but you can buy small cartons of just egg whites. That's what i do. It's sold in the same area as eggs.

I have never used the powder in my cakes. I also buy egg whites in a carton. It is cheap and easy. There is no may I am sep. eggs myself.

sorry i need to bring up this post again. but ive been making a lot of swiss meringue buttercream and i've had a lot of egg yolks sitting around doing nothing. i was thinking of just buying the egg whites in a carton but does anyone know if they whip up the same way? tia

u can buy owdered egg white too and they work

The egg whites in a carton work for me when making SMBC. The cartons say they won't work, but I've never had any problems at all. Love them.
