Egg & Oil Free Cake
Apparently, Mother Nature is having a good laugh at us right now.
It is the fourth day of Spring and yet we are looking out our windows at a foot of snow on the ground.
And it was new snow this week.
We had no snow last week at the end of the winter.
It doesn't surprise me though...we do live in upstate New York.
That doesn't stop the birds from chirping merrily away though…going about their Spring business.
They are making nests, laying eggs, singing pretty little melodies.
The sun is shining earlier in the morning and the sky is bluer than last month.
My feet are screaming, "Bring on the flip flops!"
And nothing would make me happier than to open the windows to let in the smell of fresh, clean Spring air.
But alas, we are going to have a cold Easter with no green grass to search for eggs in.
And since there will be no outdoor egg hunts this year…
I thought that the cake I made today shouldn't have any eggs in it either.
How do you like that for logic?
It is a super easy substitution too. I am not even making it from scratch. {GASP}
Really. Your jaw will hit the table.
You will be like…why didn't I think of that?

ReplyDeleteI bet that was yummo! You can also substitute applesauce for eggs in brownies. However, I would not put yogurt in brownies....I tried it (yuck)!
