Eggless Cakes & more! I went eggless in my baking a couple of years ago, something I honestly never thought would work, something I didn’t think I could successfully pull off. But as they say, never say never, my desserts are totally egg free, look quite pretty {IMHO} and are vegetarian as well {read no gelatine, only plant based setting agents}. A journey I have enjoyed immensely, a challenge of sorts, it was conversations on Instagram that largely drove the change, something I am profoundly grateful for.
Why eggless you might ask? I never did enjoy the egginess that egg based desserts had and though I made them often, I didn’t enjoy some of them. While most like special layered cakes were enjoyable indeed, my palette always picked up the aftertaste of eggs, something I just couldn’t tolerate. Yet that was just me! As the pandemic took over the world, requests for eggless recipes grew and that was a definite sign for me.
There was no looking back and I’ve come a long way. From eggless cakes, eggless layer cakes, eggless baked cheesecakes and loads in between, I have come to look at baking with new eyes. Not that there is anything wrong with baking with eggs; this is just a personal choice. You can find loads of delicious recipes using eggs on the blog and I do hope you’ll find something you like.
Best Ever Eggless Baked Chocolate Cheesecake
Best Ever Eggless Baked Chocolate Cheesecake … Deep, divine, satisfying and smooth, the clarified butter giving caramel tones to the biscuit crumb makes it even better! It’s simple to bring together and most satisfying to dig into. Makes 1 8″ heart shaped or round cheesecake.
Fudgy, eggless, whole grain, one bowl, hand mixed and quite special, you are going to absolutely love these gluten free, millet brownies that come together in minutes.
When chocolate, coffee and vanilla come together to create a dreamy ombre cake, it can only be good. Here’s an eggless Chocolate Coffee & Vanilla Ombre Cake that is as simple as it is delicious!
This cake tastes beautiful, and offers an inviting citrus overload. The eggless sponge is flavoured with orange zest and is light and delightful. The cavity has layers of chocolate and vanilla cream, finished off with an interesting marmalade jelly and fresh orange wedges. All in all a delightful take on yet another variation of my cavity cake.
The mango season is incomplete without a mango tres leches and this egg free version is sooooo good!! You could make this with berries as well, or late summer stone fruit.
… the name says it all! An addictive, delicious, no bake, eggless tart with a filling of the much loved Nama Chocolate. Each bite is indulgent, a celebration in a tart if you like, a gentle tease on the palette that is so sublime that it’s addictive. Don’t say I didn’t warn you!
Another delicious version of the cavity cake, three layers fill the cavity – dark chocolate, vanilla bean white chocolate and strawberry jelly from scratch. I always have frozen berries in my freezer but you could use fresh ones too. The recipe is a simple one bowl eggless sponge, and the way to make the cavity is as simple as it looks.
