For this month’s Baking Eggless group challenge I selected a recipe from Reader’s Digest Baking With Love. Baking Eggless is a group of enthusiastic home bakers set out to find the perfect egg replacer. Every month a recipe is selected and the members try out various substitutes for the eggs in the recipe. Then we share our experiences on a reveal date. This butter cake is a cake to be served warm. A coating of butter and brown sugar along with cinnamon makes it fabulous. The cake turned out a bit crumbly but it tasted great. I used flax meal instead of eggs and I am very happy with the result.
