Revealing a Cake Recipe without Eggs

For Day 2 of the Cornerstone Content Blog Challenge I’m revealing a cake recipe without eggs. Throughout this challenge I will be grasping at straws on some of the topics but hey it certainly is a super challenge that challenges me! But it’s also Day 2 of the Christmas Blogmas challenge!

Our great grandboys, Noah and Alek spent the day with us on Saturday and you probably already figured out that I asked if they wanted to do some baking. 4 year old Alek was all excited and ready to go but 5 1/2 year old Noah decided to opt to be the taste tester when the baking was done.

Since Alek is allergic to eggs I had to find a cake recipe without them and I found an easy one right here. https://mommyshomecooking.com/eggless-vanilla-cupcakes/

So this is the first time Alek and I have baked and he was so excited and ready to go as soon as he put Lia’s Christmas apron on since she was visiting her grandma and grandpa. This was the beginning of our Christmas baking! We got all the ingredients measured and the mixer ready.

First Alek poured the flour and butter in the bowl and waited for them to blend together.

Next step was to alternate the flour and milk, mixing each time. Alek carefully turned the mixer on perfectly as soon as he added the ingredients.

Now it’s time for the fun part, tasting the batter and licking the beater! By the looks on Alek’s face he approved of it so far. The video shows it all!

So I forgot to mention in the beginning, we are not making cake or cupcakes, we are making mini donuts! Lia got a donut machine for her birthday and I’m sure she wouldn’t mind Alek using it. We’ll even save her a donut or two!

So now it’s big brother Noah’s turn to do the donut taste testing. He takes a small bite, let’s it savor in his mouth and then said it was delicious! Alek’s donuts passed the taste test!!

Look how proud Alek is with the donuts he made! We even rolled some in sugar! I love how he did his own taste test after rolling the donuts in the sugar. We decided when we make these delicious donuts again we will sprinkle red and green sugar on them when we deliver them to our friends and neighbors!

This is the recipe we used from Mommy’s Home Cooking. Of course I did have to make a few substitutions because I didn’t have all the ingredients needed but again, I’m always up to a challenge! First I only had white vinegar instead of cider vinegar so I found I could use lemon juice in place of the vinegar. But after checking, you can use white vinegar but the acidity is a bit different so I used the amount called for and added 1/2 teaspoon of lemon juice also. The other thing I didn’t have was self rising flour so I found a site where it says to add 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder to every cup of regular flour so I added 3 teaspoons. After we finished baking, I noticed a note at the end of the recipe saying to add 1 teaspoon if no self rising flour but ours tasted fine. Alek and I were pleased with how easy the recipe was and how great they tasted. I’m sure we will be checking out more recipes from Mommy’s Home Cooking website.

So for Day 2 topic, content that reveals was revealing a cake recipe without eggs and for Blogmas it’s a great recipe for Christmas baking!
