No Eggs? No Problem!
You can still make a box cake mix and expect it to come out exactly as it was intended with this quick fix!
I am in quite a few Foodie & Cake Decorating groups on Facebook, and so many people have been asking How to Replace the Eggs in a Box Cake Mix.
I always read through the comments section and I have seen all the answers you are probably saying out loud right now!
“Use Flax!” “Use Applesauce!” “Use a can of soda!”
Well, I have tried all of those, and while they technically “work”…. Is it GOOD!?
In my opinion, No.
SO I have finally hacked the box cake mix for perfect results every time!
Check out the video tutorial below and the written recipes that follow.
**Keep in mind I am using Duncan Hines box mixes, as this is the only 100% vegan verified

**Some of you may know that for the last 3 years I have been working on developing a vegan egg replacement that my friend Deborah pioneered.
I am thrilled to announce it is finally going to market and Amazon has it for sale NOW!
If you or anyone you know is into Vegan Baking, (but even bigger: VEGAN + GLUTEN FREE baking!!) THIS is a MUST have product!
Deborah has done amazing things with gluten free/vegan baking and I helped to develop this product to work in vegan baking with wheat flour!
This is by far my favorite egg replacement to use (of course I am a bit biased LOL)
Spread the word please and consider purchasing to help a small business venture!! THANKS!

I haven’t bought box mixes in years, that is, since someone enlightened me about your youtube channel more than 5 years ago. I’m so excited to try this recipe though. there are so many people that doctor the cake mixes and there are people whom are allergic to eggs this looks perfect.
Wow! This cupcake in the picture looks so delicious. I really like your post, keep doing the amazing work.
Hi Gretchen,
I don’t have the plant based egg replacer, but will be buying some today after seeing your blog. In the meantime, can I use Bob’s Red Mill Egg Replacer and if so, is it a 1-1 substitution?
Hi Ginny! Thanks! Yes, while I do prefer the Plant Based Egg – the Bob’s will work, same quantity
Hiya, how do I get the plant based egg on the uk? 😊
Hey there, we are currently trying to get it to UK Amazon, it takes a while for all that to happen. But once it is, I will annoucne! Thanks for the interest in supporting a small business venture!! 🙂
You have changed my life! My son is anaphylactic to both milk and eggs, so we cook vegan desserts a lot. Up until this point, I have just accepted the fact that my cake and cupcakes will always fall after baking and be “delicate” in texture (ie, they fall apart). But no more. I made a batch of vanilla cupcakes and they rose beautifully and did not fall. The texture was like….cake! There were not a million crumbs everywhere. They were perfect! Can’t wait to try the chocolate and also the brownie box hack. Thank you!!
Hi Gretchen,
Thank you for amazing hacks , big fan!
Would this recipe work with pudding mix added to the box mix ?
I have not tried that, but I imagine it would work fine!
