How to Replace the Eggs to Make A Box Cake?

Replace the eggs with 1/4 of plain yogurt. 

My #1 Tip to Make a Cake Mix Box without Eggs.

I like to add 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour to improve the cake’s texture. After a lot of testing, I noticed that when I don’t add the flour the cake is TOO fluffy and difficult to frost/decorate. So, adding the flour is totally optional but highly recommended. 

How to Make a Cake Mix Box without Eggs

2. In a large bowl mix cake mix, water, oil, yogurt, and flour, if using, until everything is well combined, about 2 minutes.
3. Pour batter into prepared pan.
4. Bake, as directed on the box, or until a toothpick inserted in the center, comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before unmolding. Cool completely before frosting.

Notes

 

Since as I'm not using eggs, I like to add 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour to add more structure to the cake. After a lot of testing, I found out that when I don't add the flour the cake is too fluffy and difficult to frost/decorate. So, adding the flour is totally optional but highly recommended.

 

I have tested this recipe with American cake mixes (around 450 gr per box), such as Betty Crocker, Pillsbury and Duncan Hines. 

 

To make this 2-layer cake I use two cake mix boxes.

 

Bake time suggestion:

Two 9" round pan = 25 - 30 minutes

One 13" x 9" pan = 28 - 35 minutes

Bundt pan = 38 -45 minutes

Cupcakes = 12 -18 minutes
