My daughter has egg and peanut allergies, and I just use a box mix and replace the eggs called for with a mixed powder called Egg Replacer from Ener-G. I can find it in my grocery store in the natural foods isles... however, it can also be ordered online directly from Ener-g.com site.
Its the only egg replacement I've found that bakes up normally.
Good luck!

I found this recipe on CC, made it one time and I really liked it. The only problem was the frosting listed melted once I put it on the cake. The lady that I practice this recipe for said it was bc of the soy margarine.

Milk-free, Egg-free Cake & Frosting

the egg substitute)

I have dairy and egg allergies, and absolutely love the wacky cocoa cake recipe. I have found, however, that it doesn't stack well.

I also agree with the previous poster about the Ener-G egg replacer. It's made with a couple of different starches (the only one I remember is the tapioca, and I think potato--but the cat is on my lap, so I'm not getting up to check out the box), and there's no weird chemicals in it, no worries there! The only time I have had a problem with it, was when I made a box of brownie mix and used it instead of eggs. The brownies baked up, and all the oil was on top of them! Don't know what happened, and I've never experienced it before.

Another option, and you'd have to check with your friend, is using only the yolks of the eggs. My allergist says it's the egg whites that trigger the allergic reaction, and that if I want to use the yolks for baking, I can.

How is the wacky cake when done as cupcakes? I have a friend who's son is allergic to eggs and dairy and I'm trying to find a good cupcake recipe.

I found this recipe a few months ago, unfortunately I do not remember the source. It had wonderful reviews. HTH

Here is a recipe for an Easy Chocolate (eggless) cake

Makes a 20cm (8") cake - serves 12..
Spray a 20cm (8") round cake baking pan with non-stick baking spray. Line the base with non-stick
baking paper. This is important as this cake will stick to the pan if you do not take this step.

Ingredients.
250g butter, chopped
1 1/2 cup (375ml) water
1 cup (220g) caster sugar
1/3 cup (35g) cocoa powder
2/3 cup (100g) dark chocolate, chopped
1 2/3 cups (250g) plain flour, sifted
1 teaspoon bi-carbonate of soda (bi-carb soda)

Baking Temperature
The oven should be preheated to 160oC (325oF)

Method.

1. Combine the butter, water, sugar, cocoa powder and chocolate together in a medium sized
saucepan.
2. Place over gentle heat. Bring to the boil whilst stirring. You need to stir until everything has
dissolved to stop the mix from burning. Be careful that the mix does not boil over.
3. Simmer gently for 5 minutes.
4. Remove from the heat. Cover with a lid and leave to cool to room temperature.
5. Whisk in gently the flour and bi-carb soda into the cooled liquid. Whisk until all lumps are
removed. Do not over whisk; you are not trying to add air into the batter just remove any flour
lumps.
6. Pour batter into the prepared baking pan. Remember the baking pan must be lined with non-stick
baking paper. The batter will be quite liquid and will level naturally. Tap the tin on the kitchen bench
three times to remove any large air bubbles.
7. Bake in a preheated oven set at 160oC (325oF) for 80 mins. The top of the cake will crack. The
cake in the photo is just starting to crack, this was taken at 50mins. Dont worry the cracks will settle
and be hidden when you turn the cake out of the tin.
8. Remove from the oven. Leave to cool in the tin for 10 mins. Gently turn out onto a cake plate or
a cake board lined with non stick baking paper and leave to cool. This cake is quite soft whilst still
warm which is why I suggest you do not turn out onto a cake wire to cool.

I use the ener-g egg replacer as well, and have been able to find it at my grocery store. I'm pretty sure health stores would probably keep something like that in stock?

Instant-gratificaketion, I use the wacky cocoa cake all the time for cupcakes. I bake at 400 for 7 minutes, then drop the temp to 350 for another 10 or 11 minutes.

I take a few vegan (buttercream done with EarthBalance soy butter) cupcakes to the farmers market. It's funny, because people will always say "ewww... vegan, I'll take the regular kind", then exclaim how good it is. I never tell them that the cupcakes they are eating are the same as the vegan, just with a different frosting icon_smile.gif
