Can you bake a box cake with 1 egg?

Answer 1

You could try, I do not think it would turn out very light. It might even look a little flat.

yes you can make a range of cakes using only one egg such as fairy cakes but adding a little less ingredient's.

Answer 2

Yes, of course.

Although cakes are traditionally made with eggs to both bind the ingredients together and improve the consistency, it is possible to use ground flax seeds mixed with a bit of water as a substitute. It won't taste exactly the same, but it will work. According to healthcastle .com:

1 tbsp milled flax seed, plus 3 tbsp water = 1 egg (Final products will have less volume and taste gummier)

Answer 3

A good egg substitute is vinegar. 1 tablespoon of vinegar along with 1 teaspoon of baking soda can be substituted for 1 egg. Both white distilled vinegar and apple cider vinegar can be used. This combination works best in cakes, cupcakes and quick breads, also 2 tablespoons of lemon juice can be used in place of the 1 tablespoon vinegar.
