Kncab,
My DH favorite was a chocolate eggless cake called a "Crazy Cake" his mother made while he was growing up. She had the recipe quite a a while and passed down to me. I make this all the time, it is moist but not as rich as some cakes I have had. However, it is still yummy.
Here's a highly rated recipe for Wacky Cake:

I actually baked one by accident recently. I was distracted by friends that were over and forgot to add the eggs. Did not realize it untill it was in the oven. It accutally turned out well for no eggs. It was a little denser than normal but was moist. You really couldn't tell unless I told you.
We used to make the Wacky Cake probably once a week when I was growing up! It was a recipe we got from someone at church and it was always brought to potlucks and the recipe got passed around like crazy. Very easy to make and very tasty! Dh likes to make it now, without the cocoa powder and he puts blackberries in it.
I would not try Eggbeaters - it's all egg whites and a lot of egg allergies are to the whites, not the yolk.
However, there is a product on the market by Ener-G ( www.ener-g.com )called Egg Replacer, which is a completely non-egg vegan product. It can be substituted for egg in any baking recipe, and there are plenty of recipes on the box for other uses. I've made many many many batches of chocolate chip cookies using it, and both scratch and mix cakes. The only problem I have ever had with it is with chocolate cakes and brownies. The inside bakes up just fine, but the crust is a little crunchy. Not a problem as long as you're going to ice the cake though.
I know the egg replacer is available at a lot of grocery stores here in the states, but you might have a harder time finding it in Australia.
Here's their info for Australia:

My son has a friend that is milk and egg allergic. I was just talking to his mom about what I needed to do to make my son's birthday allegy friendly for him. I offered to make cupcake with a DH Classic Yellow Cake mix since it is dairy free, but inquired as to what to do about the eggs. She adds one can of sprite and nothing else. No oil, water, eggs, nothing. She says it's good so I'm gonna try it! I've made for peanut & dairy allergies before but never egg. I'll let you know what I think!
I am allergic to eggs and have quite a bit of experience baking eggless cakes. There are a couple ways of going about it... the Wacky Cake, the use no egg with cake mix and there are even a few eggless cake recipes out there.
In general- it's important to note that w/o eggs as a binder these cakes are generally very crumbly. You will have a hard time getting them out of the pan in one piece, let alone frosting them. I do have better luck making them into cupcake since they have the paper for a bit of support.
Thanks,
Sarah
i think paula deen said you can use yougurt instead of oil and eggs on a show like 2 days ago not too sure
I use a can of diet soda....no eggs, oil or water. It comes out moist and depending on the soda...(orange, cherry, squirt) It gives the cake a light flavor. Everyone loves it. I wont go back to eggs....unless someone requests it!
My sister was allergic to eggs...so this recipe is a favorite around my house (thankfully she grew out of that allergy around 13 yrs old)
