Bethlehem Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 Hopefully eb can help. Eldest is having a birthday. Yay! Kiddo has very restricted eating. Vanilla cakes ok. His favourite cake is the greens vanilla mud cake mix. Needs two eggs and oil and water. A friend of his is allergic to eggs and peanuts. I need a cake that will be edible for both kids. Thanks.

Seayork2002 Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 Can you make 2 cakes that look similar so the blow the candles one then have a backup that you can cut Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinselfoil hat Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 Make the cake using Orgrans No Egg egg replacement. Might not be quite as nice but it’ll be pretty good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julie3Girls Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 Do the cake for your son, then do a batch of cupcakes as well that are suitable for the friend. Most kids would be happy to just grab a cupcake, quicker than cutting a cake, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BornToLove Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 Would something using eggless custard powder work? Like this: https://www.bestrecipes.com.au/recipes/dairy-egg-free-cupcakes-recipe/23zyo3pb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laridae Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 I think you can make up packet cakes with lemonade instead of egg? That would make it egg free - would your son still eat it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rosie28 Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 Use apple purée, flaxseed in water or another egg replacement. I do that for my nephew and have never had a problem. It’s the only time I use a packet mix- they do fine without egg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baroness Bubbles Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 Use the liquid from chickpeas in place of the egg. Same consistency and you can't taste the differenceI found the orgran no egg to leave my cakes so crumbly that I couldn't even remove then from the spring form tin in 1 piece Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acidulous osprey Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 Aquafaba, golden syrup or apple sauce or flaxseed soaked (you use the slime) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riotproof Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 These are very good cupcakes. https://www.food.com/recipe/vegan-golden-vanilla-cupcakes-302367 But not going to lie, allergy mum is pretty happy to bring along her own cupcake. Saves stress for you and her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trampoline Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 I haven’t been able to source Orgrans egg replacer for a year. I use 50/50 chia/flaxseeds ground up. 1 Tbsp mix + 3 Tbsp water = 1 egg. I use this in all baking provided you don’t require the ‘eggs’ to be beaten for volume. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Feebi Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 This is my go to egg free cake. It never fails to surprise me how nice it is, despite having no eggs, butter or milk.https://chocolatechocolateandmore.com/chocolate-depression-cake/I always make chocolate, but think it would be fine without the cocoa. Just use a neutral oil (not evtra virgin olive oil). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prancer Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 My son is allergic to egg. I find egg replacer (orgran, available from the health food shop) works fine with anything requiring two or less eggs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disydo Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 I assume you've checked but if not it would be worth checking if the friend is allergic to baked egg - my son is allergic to egg but can tolerate it in baked goods, like cakes, muffins etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
123tree Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 I was in the same boat. There is a nearby bakery that specialises in allergy, celiac etc cakes. It wasn’t that expensive and I didn’t have to worry about creating a flop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ali-song Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 Use the liquid from chickpeas in place of the egg.

Princess Peach Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 The Apple purée & baking powder works perfectly as a replacement for a packet mix (have done it several times due to running out of eggs!).But check with the parents, if the kid is anaphylactic to peanuts a lot of times the kids come with their own lunchbox & a commercially prepared treat is preferred (like a freddo frog).

Willa May Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 This is my go to egg free cake.

Just use a neutral oil (not evtra virgin olive oil). Just wanted so bump this thread with a huge thankyou. I bookmarked this recipe as soon as I saw it ready for my daughters birthday. I finally made it today, it came out a bit flat (as most Eggless cakes do) so I made two and plan to sandwich them together with blueberry Chia jam. Until now I've been using the greens box mix which can be made egg and dairy free but this was way easier and looks like it won't be as dense (not that I mind the fudgy denseness).
