Has Anyone Used Ener-G Egg Replacers For Betty Crocker gluten-free Yellow Cake Mix?

[TinaM]

The topic says it all. I"d like to make a yellow cake but with no eggs. Has anyone done this with Betty Crocker's gluten-free mixes? TIA

I ran out of eggs while making the devil's food cake the other day. Instead of 3, I used 2 eggs and some Ener-G. The cake was definately more dry. My guests said it was light and fluffy, but I found it dry and lacking something. I did add extra grapeseed oil to make up for the fat lost in the egg yolk. I would think that undercooking the cake a little, and using a combination of Enger-G, oil and maybe pumpkin or applesauce to add back some density would be acceptable. We topped the chocolate cake with cherries and whipped cream instead of frosting. That made hid the dryness quite well.

Thanks for your reply! I'll give it a try!

I have tried Ener-G egg replacer...until I found out from the company that it contained corn. I now use ground flax as an egg replacer. Both have worked well for me in baked goods that bake right away like cake and cookies. I didn't have luck with flax in bread...it got gummy. I am guessing this is because it had to sit and rise for a while. If you can have corn, I would definitely recommend trying the Ener-G egg replacer.

Is that cake mix any good? I saw it at the grocrey store the other night and am thinking of buy either the cake or brownie mix.

The cakes are good but make only one layer. The brownies are good too. Pamala's cake mixes are really good and make two layers for about the same price.

I've used tofu instead of eggs. Soft Silken, about 1/4 of the package (1/3, cup I think.) I've doubled it (two boxes)to make a single-layer sheet cake.

I've also substituted 6 tablespoons of applesauce and made cupcakes. Much more moist. I'm not sure it would work in something larger like a cake.

Yesterday I made Gluten Free Pantry Scones. I used Ener G instead of eggs and almond milk plus apple cider vinegar instead of buttermilk. I used Earth Balance instead of butter. No dairy for me. I added raisins (no berries for me either ).

Everyone loved them and no one guessed they were gluten free. The entire dozen were gone before the end of the evening.
