Substituting Eggs in Cake/Cupcake Recipes

Many of my friends have asked me how I make cakes/cupcakes without any eggs.  I wanted to take a moment and share 2 different ways that I use when baking.

The first way I use a lot when baking vanilla cupcakes since I don't want to lose the cake flavor:
Add 2 tsp. vinegar, 3/4 cup applesauce, 2 tsp. vanilla and 2 cups of water to the cake mix.  Bake according to the directions on the box.  I usaually refrigerate the cake/cupcakes after they cool.

The 2nd way I use A LOT when baking with chocolate or richer flavors since the pumpkin flavor does not come through and change the actual taste of the cake.
Add 15 oz. can of pumkin, 1 Tbsp of vanilla and to the mix and bake according to the directions on the box.....however with this recipe, you only get about 16 cupcakes instead of the traditional 24.

I hope these help with your egg-free baking.  Please feel free to share with others.
