Has anyone used powdered or liquid egg whites in your recipes that called for egg whites? If so, how does it affect your cake, if at all? Is there a noticeable difference in the texture of your cake from the actual egg whites? Any other feedback out there on these products? I saw them in the grocery store this evening. TIA!

I have only used my box of egg whites once in a recipe that was new to me so I don't know how valid my comments are. I liked the cake and the ease of just measuring out the number of egg whites I needed rather than messing around with seperating eggs.

I can't really answer your question because I use the egg whites out of the shell, but I also add a TBSP of meringue powder to my mix and it helps it rise.

I use liquid egg whites you buy in the carton all the time....I use them in my white cake and my Swiss Meringue buttercream....for one they are pasturized, they are decent price, and you don't have to worry about a ton of yolks nor getting a yolk in your whites.
I think they are fabulous and I've not noticed a difference
