A collection of the best easy eggless cake recipes. Forget boxed mixes and try any of these simple cake recipes instead.
When you’ve been having a bad day, you know what can instantly cheer you up? A slice of cake! Now, most cakes rely on eggs to create that fluffy, cloud-like texture that we are looking for. They are usually added to make the batter smoother with more stable air bubbles that give the cake structure and that airy fluffy consistency. Additionally, eggs also help in binding the other ingredients together.
The good news is that you can easily replicate the same spongy texture without the use of eggs. Eggs can be replaced with mashed bananas, applesauce, vinegar with baking soda, yogurt, and sometimes even silken tofu. Eggless cakes can be tricky to nail, but they don’t always have to be fussy or complicated. All you need is a good recipe. Here are some easy and best ones I have ever made.

Here are some baking secrets for making the best eggless cake:
- Since there are no eggs in vegan baking, Errors in measurement or imbalance of ingredients are much more likely to lead to a cake fail. You want to add enough dry ingredients so that the balance of dry to moisture is good and the cake can handle any excess moisture leaking from additions such as fruit.
- If using fruit purée such as banana or pumpkin, Keep the butter on ready take side. Fruits continue to leak moisture during baking, And that moisture has nowhere to go if there isn’t enough flour to absorb it. This can often lead to a gummy cake.
- if your cake rises and falls during baking then it has more moisture than the flour can handle.
- If your cake doesn’t rise much at all and leads to gummy or mushy cake then most likely the baking powder is too old.
- Do not add the all dry ingredients at once. Combine all the dry ingredients separately and then add this mixture little by little to the wet mix.
- Fold in the dry ingredients gently to maintain the airy texture that you created. Over mixing can produce more gluten and less to chewy cakes
- Don’t go overboard with raising agents when baking eggless cakes, they can cause your cake to droop and dip.
- Always cool your cakes on a wire rack to allow the flow of air and to avoid it from collapsing or getting soggy at the bottom.
