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.

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.

How much mayo equals 2 eggs?

To replace two large eggs in a recipe, you can use about 1/2 cup of mayonnaise. This substitution works because mayonnaise is primarily made of eggs and oil, providing similar moisture and richness. However, the exact amount may vary depending on the specific recipe and desired texture.


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 replace a cake mix?

You replace a cake mix by making the cake from scratch. Any cake recipe from a cook book or found online will tell you how much flour, sugar, baking powder or baking soda, salt and other ingredients to use.


When baking a cake you need 4 eggs to make a cake that will feed 24 people How many eggs will you need to bake a cake that will feed 54 people?

9 eggs. You simply need to take 54, and divide it by 24 to find out by how much you are multiplying the recipe. 2.25. And then multiply the amount of eggs, 4, by 2.25, and thus you reach 9.


How does the amount of eggs used in a cake affect how high it rises?

The eggs are to hold the cake together and it's the bicarbonate or baking powder that causes the cake to rise. Try 2 teaspoons of flax powder mixed with half a cup of water. This has great binding properties and is high in fiber and Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA), an omega-3 fatty acid. A mashed banana is also a good substitute for eggs.


What happens if you use only one egg for a store bought cake mix that requires three eggs?

Using only one egg instead of the required three in a store-bought cake mix will likely result in a denser and less moist cake. Eggs play a crucial role in providing structure, moisture, and leavening to the cake batter. With fewer eggs, the cake may not rise as much, leading to a heavier texture. Additionally, the flavor and richness of the cake may be compromised due to the reduced amount of eggs.


Making brownies form scratch can mayonnaise be used instead of egg?

No. It's concentrated so measurement would be difficult. Also there will be the extra oil. Another thing is mayonnaise can turn deadly when cooked. I forgot the term for it, but one of the first rules of food handling is NEVER cook mayonnaise. I have fond memories of scraping it off hotdogs to microwave & then putting it back on:(
