I need to make an eggless birthday cake for tiny person's party as one of the kids has an egg allergy, and I'm not an arsehole, so we're making one cake that's inclusive.

Today I'm experimenting with the Bobs Red Mill egg replacer, but it made the cake batter ridiculously thick (yes, I followed instructions). So thick it didn't have a hope of rising. So, I added about 1/2 a cup of milk until it could be spread in the pan without effort (it was thick...). Put it in the oven, but I'm not that hopeful right now... I think I'm going to end up with bricks.

Would appreciate some links to some tried and tested egg-free cakes. I've got a week to crack this.

Oh. And to add to the dilemma; I need to be able to carve the cake into a Cattiva from Palworld shape.

Hmm. That's flat.

There is baking powder in there, but that's the same height it was when it went in the oven.

Wow am I glad I decided to try this out before the actual cake day...

Ok. Stacked on top of each other with peach jam in the middle seems to be an improvement... But I didn't want a stacked cake, I wanted a nice thick one.

Eh. We'll see how this one is. Lemme try and cut it into a cattiva face.

Well. It cuts with a knife, so I can certainly make it the right shape.

We are taste testing the scraps and...

For some reason it tastes a bit like suet pudding? Suet dumplings? That could also be the plant-based butter though too.

Tiny person has initially said it's 'good'. We'll see if she asks for more.

Maybe it'll taste better in brownies.

Texture is ok if a little dense. Recipe needed and additional 1/2 cup of milk to make it into cake batter
