Comments on: Vegan Apple Cake http://www.egglesscooking.com/2009/01/26/vegan-apple-cake/ Great collection of Eggless Recipes under one roof.

First i thought three cups of shredded apples are too much to 1 cup of flour but went ahead with it (i also used whole wheat pastry flour). Didn't come out as fluffy as yours look in the pic. I do not know where things went wrong. First i thought i will use vinegar as egg substitute but the batter looked very dry so used the EnerG with soy milk. In my experience, i have found vinegar to be be best egg substitute for fluffy cakes. The taste of this cake however was awesome. Plus it was full of apples and walnuts so didn't feel too guilty eating it. Anyway let me know what are your thoughts on this. <strong><em> Hi Hetal, I'm sorry it did not work out for you. It was a very fluffy cake and I too was not able to slice it perfectly. I agree with you that vinegar gives the fluffiness for egg free cakes. Did you blend the EnerG in a blender? I feel that simply whisking it with a fork does not give desired results. After a couple of trials, I also feel that using warm water/milk while blending gives better results. I'll try to bake this cake once again and will give you the feedback.</em></strong> Madhuram,

Just wondering if I could use flax seeds instead of Energer egg replacer..If yes,how much shd I be using?Also was thinking of doing brown sugar instead of white..what's your opinion? Thanks Geetha <strong> <em>Thanks for your kind words Geetha. Blend together 1 teaspoon of flax seed powder with 1/4 cup water. Don't just use a fork, use a blender/food processor for good results. You can go with brown sugar. In any case reduce the quantity of sugar as I have mentioned in the Notes section because it was way to sweet.</em></strong> Hi

I tried locating the store through the link you posted, but it didnt throw up any responses. Anyways, thanks once again. Will definitely try this with applesauce/yoghurt and let you know the feedback. Regards, Devika Dear Madhu,

Thanks for all the eggless baking . Btw., I have a question., since my husband is soy milk allergic, could you please suggest a replacement for that!. Thanks, jayaguru <strong><em> Rice milk is a very good alternative. Actually I prefer rice milk to soy milk, because some brands of soy milk result in a sticky mass of dough in baked goods, but I have not experienced that with rice milk.

If your family is not vegan go with regular cow's milk itself.</em></strong> Hi Madhu,

The country I live currently in has very limited options for vegetarians, so your blog is like god sent for me. This cake looks delicious, but i had needed a few clarifications. Ener-G isnt available here, so does the quantity of the yoghurt/applesauce have to be the same as that of Ener-G. Also, can you pls pass on the recipe for Apple sauce. Regards, Devika <strong><em> Thank you very much Devika. Use 1/4 cup of yogurt or applesauce in place of Energ. The rule of thumb is using 1/4 cup of substitute for every egg to be replaced. For applesauce, peel and core the apples. Cook it (either stove top or in microwave oven with little water) and blend it into a smooth puree and use it. If you tell me in which place you live I can check if some other brand egg replacer is available there. For example I came to know that there is Orgran brand egg replacer powder in Australia. Also check the following link to see if EnerG is available in your place. It's a list of distributors in various continents. http://www.egglesscooking.com/forums/where-to-find-egg-substitutes/can%27t-find-ener-g-in-local-stores-check-this-link/</em></strong> Dear Madhu,
