Before we get to the cake recipes, let’s take a look at a few staple ingredients that are helpful to have in your pantry.

If you follow me on Facebook or Instagram you may know that my husband was a baker for most of his adult life.

We actually met at his bakery – which probably confirms my love of dessert!

He was very particular about baking at home.

I knew if I had the right ingredients in the pantry he would be more likely to bake on a Sunday.

So I made sure the pantry was stocked with dry ingredients.

There is a method to my madness. 🙂

Staple Dry Ingredients for Baking

brown sugar
white sugar
powdered sugar
all purpose flour
baking powder
baking soda
chocolate chips
quick oats or rolled oats
peanut butter

Wet Ingredients

apple cider vinegar
vanilla extract
butter (melted butter is common)
whipping cream
milk (evaporated and condensed)
oil

Tips for Baking Eggless Cakes

There are a few simple tips when baking an egg free cake. These will help ensure your cake is made just right with that moist texture we all love.

Be sure to preheat the oven to the recommended temperature. (350 degrees is common)
Avoid air bubbles when you pour the batter into the cake pans by pouring the cake batter at an angle and pouring slowly.
After you’ve poured the batter in to the cake tin, drop the tin on the kitchen counter a couple of times to force the air in the mixture to come to the surface.
Follow the exact baking times on the recipe card – even an extra couple of minutes can make a difference when baking the cake.
Let the cakes cool completely at room temperature before serving. (this is the hardest part)

Now, on to dessert. Happy baking!
