Baking a cake without eggs poses a unique challenge because the egg acts as a glue to bind all of the ingredients together. Without this glue your cake can turn into a hard, inedible mess. This recipe is also great for anyone with food allergies and, although it's not vegan, it is vegetarian. So, the next time you want to make a cake, but don't have eggs and don't want to go to the store you can try this recipe.
