Answer 3

Eggs serving as a leavening agent, which help to make the cake light and fluffy. Generally, the fewer eggs a recipe calls for, the easier it will be to find a suitable substitute. The stubstitute will affect the taste and possibly the texture of any recipe. For example, bananas or applesauce will add a certain amount of fruity taste to your baked goods. For such dishes as casseroles, you wouldn't want to use fruit.

Commercial egg substitutes such as Ener-G is versatile and easy to use, also the recipe may need a bit more moisture by using an extra tablespoon of water or milk. Ener-G and other commercial egg substitutes are usually flavorless and work bes in baked foods such as cookies, muffins and cakes, but they can also be used to bind ingredients together in casseroles or meatloafs.

You can make a blend of half a smashed up banana or 1/4 cup of applesauce to replace an egg in baked goods such as cake, but they won't help your baked goods rise or be as light and fluffy, so it's best to be sure the recipe calls for baking powder or baking soda in most cases.
