How Do I Make a Cake Mix Without Eggs?

Eggs play an important role in a cake mix. They help to add structure, flavor, and moisture. They also add some important nutrients, along with fat and protein.

The Role of Eggs

Fortunately, there are some great alternatives to use when you don't have eggs on hand or don't want to use them.

Sub #1

Vinegar & Baking Soda

Mix 1 teaspoon of baking soda with 1 teaspoon of vinegar to replace 1 egg. This mix helps to substitute the volume of eggs, because the chemical reaction causes the mix to rise.

Sub #2

Applesauce

Replace one egg in your cake mix with 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce. This can increase the density of your cake, but that's not always a bad thing!

Sub #3

Yogurt

Add 1/4 of a cup of yogurt to replace one egg in your cake mix. Adding yogurt is a great way to add some healthy protein to your cake.

Sub #4

Tofu

Blend 1/4 cup of tofu to replace 1 egg in your cake recipe. Blending is important to ensure the texture is nice and creamy.
