Vidhya, as you have mentioned in the other comment, yogurt is a good egg substitute in boxed cake mixes. You could try the flax seed meal too.

My daughter is now in preschool and able to bring in brownies and other goodies for snack WITHOUT the egg! Thanks again! <strong><em>You're most welcome Katie.

I’m not able to guess what the problem is Gina, because mine came out so well that even my husband’s colleagues who are not vegetarians couldn’t tell any difference at all.

Replacement like flax plays the role of a binder ingredient but they can increase the denseness of your cake product. It is excellent for muffin, loaf cakes, cookies and biscuits though. Look closely on any egg replacer brand, you will notice potato starch or corn starch as the key ingredients, so try that instead and experiment. But you can try increasing liquid/juice/puree and include, say 1/2 tsp baking powder to give it the needed boost and another tablespoon of oil/butter if you are using ground flaxseed. Remember the fats from the 'real' eggs has been taken out and you need to make up for it. As I have previously work with Pilsbury professionally,

Just be sure to add in 1 tbsp of vinegar/apple cider. Potato starch,1 tsp per egg mix into the yogurt/cream will do the trick as it help bind up the cake mix and the vinegar helps fluff up the cake. I have also frequently used organic oat/flax milk to replace dairy product as well together with vinegar to replace liquid/milk in the recipes. Or you can use a half and half eg. juice, puree with liquid ingredients. Have fun trying! <strong><em>That's true. I have tried the same recipe with yogurt as well and it turned out good too.
