My first angel food cake was my last...

[Pepper]

My mom had suspicions that something was wrong before my first birthday... I had skin issues when she was breastfeeding me, and later she knew I couldn't tolerate a plain egg, for example, but it was certainly confirmed when she made me an angel food cake for my birthday.

So, 30+ years later, and I'm still allergic to them.  And some other stuff, too, but the eggs are certainly the biggest challenge.  I can't handle even trace amounts, so going to restaurants, eating bakery bread, etc, is always fraught with danger. 

I have a few (ok, lots of) egg-free recipes in my collection, and I rarely use the commercial replacers.  I love to bake, when I can find the time.

I think for some people the allergy just goes away right!  I'm sorry that you are not of those lucky ones. 

Please share your recipes here, when you find time.  It's even more interesting to know that you don't use any commercial substitutes.

i tried preparing eggless using banana, first time it came nice but second and third time the cake was not puffing  and the taste was okay but the shape of the cake was like a flattery than being like a cake. any suggestion to avoid this...................................
i made in microwave, while preparing it was coming very nice puffing but the puffing was not staying as it, it is getting suppressed within two min's.

then i prepared using cake pan on the gas stove using the base as sand bowl, it was not puffing it was like roti.....

give suggestion so that the cake looks puffing

When I had an allergy, for instance my seafood allergy, I was told not to eat seafoods, but I really love them so what can I do? I just can't stop eating some sea foods even though my whole body gets swollen and red all over.

Until one day when I ate a lot of shrimps, I just realized that my seafood allergy is gone. I never had a a single sign of that allergy..

But I think it just depends on the person. If you really can't tolerate it and it may really harm you, you really have to prevent from eating that food you have an allergy of.

Egg adds an extra flavor to your dishes. Why don't you try once?
