Question

Can I add cooking spray to the mix if I don't have oil?

Qamar

Top Answerer

No, you cannot. Cooking spray is only to prevent foods from sticking to a pan. It's not a replacement for oil as an ingredient.

Yes. Just add 1/3 cup more of almond milk than what the recipe calls for in water.

You can substitute 2 tsp of vinegar and 1 cup of applesauce or one 12 oz can of cream soda (any brand). You could also use a 12 oz can of pumpkin puree and 1/3 cup of water.

Question

Can I use club soda instead of the flavored sodas?

Community Answer

You'll need to use cream soda in order to get the lift that you lose when you eliminate the eggs and oil. Club soda won't give you the same effect.

Question

Can I use baking powder if I don't have eggs for my cake?

Community Answer

No, it doesn't have the properties to hold the cake mix together. Baking powder is a dry ingredient, while eggs are wet, allowing for the cake mix to hold together.

Question

For the pumpkin puree method you say to add water, but how much water should I add?

Community Answer

I assume that they mean to use whatever is called for on the box. In the picture for the first step, you can see the back of the box is calling for 1 cup of water, but this may vary based on which mix you are using.
