Substituting: Did you know?

What!?, there’s no eggs in the house and you have already started mixing the brownies. Mayonnaise can be used in place of the egg. You will get the same soft wonderful tasting brownie you have always had using 1/4 cup mayonnaise in place of the egg.

The same can be said for exchanging apple sauce for oil in a cake recipe. I have come to like the texture of the apple sauce so much in my cakes, I sometimes use it, even when I have oil.

If you want an exotic flavor in your next yellow cake, add 1/2 cup pumpkin pie mixture plus 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spices, instead of an egg or the oil. The pumpkin flavor and spices are an amazing surprise when biting into the cake. A cream cheese icing works well with these flavors.
