We just found out my 4 year old granddaughter is allergic to eggs.. It really would be helpful if anyone has recipes for cookies, cakes or any other sweet that does not have egg in them...

Thank you
Majik

White Vegan Cake

Ingredients:

1-1/2 cups flour
3/4 cup sugar
2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
3/4 cup soy milk
2 tsp vanilla
Egg replacer equivalent to 1 egg, beaten

Preparation:

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a cake pan. In large bowl, mix together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Combine remaining ingredients, and add to flour mixture. Beat for 2 minutes. Bake for 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in center of cake comes out dry.

Chocolate Cake

Ingredients:

1-1/2 cup flour
1/3 cup cocoa powder
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 cup cold water (or ice coffee)
2 tsp vanilla extract
2 tsp vinegar

Preparation:

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Use a small brownie size pan (no greasing required). Mix all the dry ingredients right in pan. Mix all the wet ingredients in separate bowl except the vinegar (important!). Add wet ingredients to dry and stir until all dry ingredients are mixed. Add the vinegar quickly and stir in — immediately put the pan in the oven and bake for 25 to 30 min. Cool thoroughly.

Optional: after you add the vinegar, you can put some frozen cherries, raspberries or cranberries on top of the batter (or you can mix them in beforehand)

Applesauce Spice Cake

Ingredients:

1/2 cup molasses
1 cup applesauce
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp cloves
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1-3/4 cup flour (whole wheat pastry flour is good)
2 tsp ginger (optional)

Preparation:

Combine the molasses and applesauce in a large bowl. Combine remaining ingredients and stir into the liquid. (If the batter seems very dry, add a little more applesauce or a little water.) Bake in a nonstick 8 x 8-inch baking pan or one sprayed with a non-stick spray, in a 350° F (175°C) oven, for 30 to 45 minutes, or until it tests done.

The optional ginger makes an acceptable gingerbread. You can also leave out the ginger and add 3 or 4 tablespoons of cocoa to make a tasty but not very sweet or rich chocolate cake.

Lemon Tofu Cheesecake

Ingredients:

Crust:

2 cups graham crackers
1/4 cup maple syrup
1/2 tsp almond extract

Filling:

1 lb. firm tofu
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon almond exact
1 Tbsp tahini or almond butter
1/2 salt
1 to 2 Tbsp lemon juice
1/2 tsp lemon zest
2 Tbsp cornstarch dissolved in
2 Tbsp soy or rice milk

Preparation:

Crust: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Crush the crackers and mix them with the syrup and almond extract in a bowl until moistened. Pour into a 9-inch pie plate, press evenly to form a crust and bake for 5 minutes. Cool while preparing filling.

Filling: Blend all ingredients in a food processor or blender until smooth (about 30 seconds). Pour the mixture into the crust and bake until the top is slightly brown, about 30 minutes. Cool and refrigerate until thoroughly chilled, about 2 hours.

Majik,
There are actually a number of things you can use to substitute for eggs in recipes...especially cakes & cookies. If you try some of these, you'll be able to use some of the recipes she may already love (or any recipe that you find that looks interesting).

Substitute the following for each egg called for - and select whichever seems most appropriate for the taste of what you're making (for example, adding 1/2 of a mashed banana for each egg, would certainly make a cake taste like banana if it has 3 eggs - might be more than you would want).

1 egg =

1/2 of a large banana (mashed)
or
1 1/2 tbls water, 1 1/2 tbls oil mixed w/ 1 tsp baking powder
or
1 packet of unflavored gelatin combined w/1 cup boiling water, 3 tbls = 1 egg
or
1/4 cup soft tofu

To use the above as an egg substitute, do this for things that you are not looking to rise much - for things that need to rise (cakes, breads) ADD to the above 1/2 tsp of baking powder (for each egg)...this is over and above the baking powder called for in a recipe...sounds like alot, but the eggs work both as a levening and to add moisture

Example:
Recipe calls for 2 eggs
Substitute:
1 large banana (mashed) + 1 teaspoon baking powder

None of the above stuff will work well if you're replacing more than 2 or 3 eggs in a recipe...but it's worth a shot...
