In the baking of cakes, slices and muffins, the purpose of eggs is to bind the ingredients together and to leaven the cake. You can adapt baking recipes that require only a few eggs in by using one of the following substitution ingredients in place of each egg:
Replace Each Egg with One of the Following:

Egg Free Cakes are just as easy, if not easier to get ready than cakes containing Eggs. If your baking does not turn out, take a look at the following results and remedies to assist you for the next time:
If your cake has sunk in the middle, try reducing the amount of liquid used in the recipe. If your cake looks and feels undercooked, you may have taken it out of the oven too soon, had the temperature too low or used too small baking powder. A heavy cake may require more baking powder, and may include too much butter or oil, whereas a dry cake may require more butter, oil or baking powder and could have been in the oven too long.
The crumbly cake typically contains too much sugar and not enough binding ingredients such as oil or cornflour. When the top of your cake cracks it indicates that the oven temperature is too hot, the cake tin is too small, or there is not enough liquid in the mixture.
