no becaUSE THEN THE CAKE WOULD TASTE really bad

Also, mayo usually has salt, which would make your cake salty. however, if you got an saltless mayo and took out some of the butter in your cake, then yes, maybe...

Actually, the cake will be even better tasting, but I am not sure of the correct substitution ratio. I won a baking contest as a kid with a chocolate mayonnaise cake, and everyone initially says "yuck", but when they taste it...they love it!

Can miracle whip be substituted for mayonnaise in cooking?

You could use Miracle Whip instead of mayonnaise in a cake recipe, but, Miracle Whip has less fat then regular mayonnaise and it also has added spices such as garlic and paprika. When you use plain mayonnaise you're getting more fat that contributes to the moistness and mouth-feel of the cake. You also aren't getting the added spices with plain mayonnaise that can cause some undesirable results with the taste of the cake.yes* i would NOT substitute MW for Mayo in a cake, I substitute a lot , but not in this case.


Can an egg substitute be used instead of real eggs to make mayonnaise?

Yes, in some recipes. Remember that mayonnaise contains quite a bit of oil as well as eggs, so adjust your recipe accordingly.


Can you use mayo in place of egg?

Some cake recipes specifically call for mayonnaise, but generally it's not a good substitute for eggs in baking. Eggs are a unique ingredient -- an emulsion of liquid, protein and fat in a delicate balance. Virtually nothing acts the same way in cooking, as eggs do.There is vinegar in mayonnaise. I would think you cannot.Another answer: Actually Mayonnaise CAN be used. But only in specific cakes. Such as Chocolate. Not naming names, THE mayonnaise that tells you to "Bring out the Best"....Has a Chocolate Mayonnaise cake. For the 3 eggs the recipe calls for, you use 1 cup of mayonnaise instead. It was incredible. AND no traces of vinegar were detectable. Haven't tried it in cookies yet, but it's worth a shot. The mayo also replaced the oil the recipe called for.A friend of mine introduced me to Chocolate Mayonnaise Cake about 6 years ago. I could not believe how great it tasted. I have made quite a few myself now over the past 6 years and at present it is my favorite cake on this planet. Being an old school chef and baker for over 30 years, I have of course heard of this substitute but never put it into practice until 6 years ago. Wish I had tried it sooner! Eggs, unless you have your own chickens for laying, are much cheaper though.


What can you use in an apple cake recipe when it calls for 3 eggs and you only have 2?

In an apple cake recipe, it probably would not make much difference if you were to only use two eggs instead of three. If you are concerned, add a tablespoon of mayonnaise for the last egg. In many, many recipies a tablespoon of mayonnaise can be substituted for an egg without any difference in taste.

Is there a recipe for cake using mayonnaise?

I always use mayonnaise in my cakes instead of vegetable oil. Even with a box cake! It comes out so moist and yummy. By any flavor box cake, pour the dry ingredients in to the bowl, then add 3 eggs, 1 cup of mayo and 1 cup of water. Blend till moist and smooth and bake according to pkg directions. It will turn out wonderful!

Mayonnaise is not a direct substitution for eggs in a cake. You need to calculate the amount of oil as well, and also balance the acidity of the mayonnaise with baking soda.


Can corn starch be used as a substitute for eggs in a cake mix?

No, you can't replace eggs with cornstarch in a cake recipe. The eggs make the cake light and springy. You can replace three tablespoons of cake flour with three tablespoons of cornstarch if you like. Cornstarch does help lighten the cake, but it must not be used as a substitute for eggs.
