Ok the store is like 30 mins from my house ( I just got home from the store and work, changed in to baking wear, so I dont wanna go back out). Now I realize I forgot to buy eggs. I only have 4 left and I have to make 3 8" rounds and 4 Bundts. Im using DH Yellow and Devils cake mix. I havent really docotored before. I would search the site but it dont have that much time to sit up here and look for it. I need the 8" for tonight (just got the order today but she doubled the price cause she really wanted it tonight ) and the bundts for tommorow. I have Merenge powder (a little over half). How do I substitute? Does it matter when using DH? What about the yolks? Do I need them. Will the yellow cake be white instead cause I didnt use the yolk from a real egg? Help!
(In the mean time im getting the fondant decorations made)
TIA!
Sorry I can't help - but I'll bump ya!
Good luck!!!! Any nice neighbors??????? ![]()
I know that you can use vinegar to replace eggs in scratch baking, I don't know about mixes. If so, it's 1 Tbsp. of white vinegar for each egg. In scratch, I also add about 1/4 cup extra flour. Surprisingly, the cakes rise and taste pretty good. I don't know how well this would work for bundt cakes.
You should be able to use the powdered egg whites. Just follow the directions on the container for reconstituting them. If the batter doesn't' look yellow enough, just add drop of yellow food color.
Good luck.

oops, this happened to me Friday night after kids were in bed and it was 10pm. I got brave and called a neighbor and luckily they were still up and I was able to borrow some eggs.
I have no idea what a substitute is sorry. But I am watching to find out! : )

Thanks for the info! I am one egg short of making "Elvis Presley's favorite pound cake" I can't wait to try it, I have heard its Absolultely Wonderful! and has the finest crumb you have ever seen in a pound cake.
My daughter is allergic to eggs so I replace them with Vinegar, Milk, and Baking Powder all combine for each egg. You can replace at the most two eggs otherwise the cake won't rise ver well.
I have replace them only on scratch recipes, I haven't tried it in DH yet. Let me know how it goes I have to make one with out eggs soon. ![]()
Hope this help.
Biviana.
