http://m.wikihow.com/Replace-Eggs-in-Your-Cooking


This link has some good ideas for egg substitutes in baking. Then you're not tied to a particular egg free recipe. It's good advice re matching your replacement to your recipe eg I used (cooked) apple pur?e in a rhubarb and polenta cake and banana in choc chip cookies.


I tried 'no egg' branded substitute and the cake went a bit odd.

This was a favourite of ours when we had to do egg and dairy free: http://southernfood.about.com/od/chocolatecakes/r/bl01018c.htm


It's quite dark and chocolately, so might not be suitable for a first birthday, but older kids and grown ups love it and it was the closest to a real cake of any recipe I found. For something less dark, you can replace the egg in any recipe with 50mls stewed apple/1 small banana/50mls thick custard, whichever flavour fits the recipe best. Use SR flour and add half a teaspoon of baking powder to make up for the lack of rise.

The verdict on the cake I baked was yummy couldn't tell was a vegan cake. Is pretty much the same recipie as the southern food one - so is dark and chocolatly and very light too. Was quite a small cake don't know how many people you need it for but you could easily make two 20cm round tins and use a suitable fudge style icing in the middle to make a larger sandwich cake and then ice that.

    • DKH was two form entry, it is now one form entry to cope with the fact it was far more under subscribed than other schools in the area. They had actually combined year groups into single classes, 3/4 and 5/6.  When a school changes name, it’s usually because of a bad reputation perhaps the results.  The new name is dry with no history unlike its current name. It’s a very sketchy decision. It’s an expensive vanity project for someone.  What  will happen if the name change does not increase applications to the school?     
    • @first mate I assume Alice made a mistake, as she removed her reaction.  I was wondering about park wardens. As I said, there was one there last night, who was incredibly helpful and proactive. As well as bringing me to the police, he caught up with a young guy on a bike who'd earlier been the victim of an attempted theft by these kids and linked him up with the police too. But I do wonder, as I've only very occasionally seen him riding around, how many they have and what hours they patrol. I've no doubt they'd be a strong deterrent if they had a better presence. They were nowhere to be seen the first time around.  Update: I've just found this: https://services.southwark.gov.uk/community-safety/community-wardens The guy in the photo at the bottom of the page was the lovely warden of last night and I've just now remembered him telling me he's based in Burgess Park. Anyway, there needs to be more of them, as I rarely see one in Peckham.
