I want to make a cake using a store bought cake mix. Problem is I only have 2 eggs and I really don't want to have to run out to the store. What will it do to the cake if I only use 2 eggs?

It think it will be a little more dense than it normally would be.

It will probably be a little more crumbly than usual too... but since you are puting SOME eggs in (instead of none, which I HAVE done) it should be ok.

Forgive me for asking but how many eggs does it call for??? I normally bake mine (mostly chocolate--for kids) from scratch so don't really know how many eggs they call for. I agree that probably the only dif would be the texture

It calls for 3 eggs. So you don't think the taste will be compromised, just the texture?

The taste will be totaly normal. The texture MIGHT be a little dense and crumbly, but it probably won't be very noticable at all because you're only missing one egg.

Try adding a little extra milk to compensate for the missing egg

the cake will not rise as much and will be more dense. But I don't think by much.

Actually here's a formula to substitute for 1 egg.


1 1/2 T. water, 1 1/2 T. oil, 1 tsp. baking powder

My daughter is allergic to eggs so I always use this in baked goods.
