What other people have said, gluten free, soy free and dairy free!

[@Botanist3]

Lecithin is primarily a combination of a bunch of molecules called phospholipids with some other minor components. Soy lecithin comes out of the processing of soybean oil as a biproduct. Lecithin makes the oil cloudy, less shelf-stable, and more prone to oxidation. It is removed in a procedure called "degumming" and sold as a separate product as it is useful in a variety of food applications. Your cell membranes are composed primarily of phospholipids and eggs have a lot in them as well. The lecethin in eggs is a big part of what gives cakes that structure you reference and is why eggs are hard to replace and why soy lecithin is a big part of getting that structure. You can get lecethin from eggs, but soy is much more abundant and also vegan. Editing in post watching: you also need some protein and other components to get the lecithin to give the structure. It won't do it on its own which is why the lecithin on its own was a bit of a fail and why the flax worked well as the flax will have some lecithin inherent in the oil in the flax itself plus protein Source: I'm a chemist who works on projects involving oil processing and lecithin for a major food/ag company

[@C.L.Hinton]

Thanks; that's really informative! I'm wondering what secret protein ingredient(s) the bakeries have been adding to find such success with soy lecithin?

[@christinewilliams72]

It sounds like the flax seed is a more natural lecithin source, while the soy lecithin sounds incredibly processed and not so healthy! Thanks for explaining this- as the mother of a vegan who is about to have her 17th birthday (cake), this video was very valuable!

[@loverlei79]

And now i know why everything has soy lecithin in it... they are avoiding eggs. 😃

[@C.L.Hinton]

@@loverlei79 I think it's just a cheap option for an emulsifier.

[@Botanist3]

@@christinewilliams72 Soy lecithin is definitely "natural". Though as a chemist I have a less than favorable view of that term as it's used in marketing, but that's another rant. Soy lecithin comes right from soy beans. It's just usually sourced in bulk from oil processing as, like I mentioned, it's not actually favorable to have in oil you're going to use for food applications since it degrades the oil faster to leave it in. Among other things. One of the most common methods to remove it is to essentially just use water as the lecithin will partially dissolve in the water whereas the oil will not. Then you remove the water and boom: lecithin. It's a bit more complicated in practice and there are other methods as well, but that's essentially what that processing step entails. I would call flax a more "complete" ingredient in this case. As it'll have all the components to serve as an egg replacement in one place, but since you're using a whole ingredient YMMV on outcomes from batch to batch. Different flax might perform different. The advantage of using pure lecithin along with other more purified ingredients is that you get consistency. Which is very important to bakeries large and small.

I had to make my cousin's wedding cake and cupcakes dairy, gluten and sugar free. It was a trip, finding out what I can substitute and make sure the cake didn't taste nasty. My first try it was so dry dry crumbly and it didn't taste sweet at all. My second try I used eggwhites to try and make it rise, and it worked! So I had to tweek the recipe a lot before I got what I wanted. The icing was a mocha icing, and because I couldn't use milk, it was melting so much. I had to stand in the walk in freezer at they're wedding venue to ice it. everything turned out well though. I can't even imagine making it without eggs.

I know the struggle! Fortunately don't have any problems with dairy, though I've still worked with dairy free for some friends, but between my mom and I gluten free and sugar free are normal. Our favorite substitutions so far are a rice, tapioca, and sorghum flour mix with xantham gum. And by far the best sugar substitute is monk fruit. Tastes exactly like sugar but it isn't!

[@Duelkitten]

Now I only made about half the recipe. I also added eggwhites to make it more chewy and less dry (it gave it air). About three? But it was a half recipe. I also added melted dairy/gluten free chocolate into the hot coffee to add more chocolate flavor. 1 cup hot brewed coffee (decaf works fine) 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder 1 cup hot water 3 cups gluten-free All-Purpose Flour Blend, more for dusting pan (I found the best one for me at least was to use bulk Barn mix and not just straight up rice flour). 2 teaspoons baking soda 1 teaspoon baking powder 1 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon xanthan gum 1 cup dairy-free margarine or organic shortening 2½ cups sugar or evaporated cane juice (I used a sugar substitute here) 4 large eggs, room temperature* 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extra I also made chocolate ganache, but using coconut cream instead. It definitely melts a lot easier if left out, but it hardens and becomes spreadable like normal ganache. The icing was mocha too, using vegan margarine (made sure it was gluten free), and added some coconut cream to help hold it together. Agian, added some melted chocolate to help that more chocolate taste stand out.

[@fionaclaphamhoward5876]

Um all the people in the comments bleating about how milk is not vegan, try clicking on Laurie's description box for the recipe first maybe? (Bonus: it takes fewer keystrokes than writing a comment 😛) The recipe clearly says to use a dairy-free milk and in the video when she mixes her cake she also clearly says she used a macadamia nut mylk.

[@chantalhamilton2374]

I love how much effort you put into this. It's cool the flax egg one, I've used that before. However, I think baking soda + vinegar works well, too, but only with oil based cake recipes. Lastly, the chickpea water only works if you whip it first to get medium peaks, like egg whites. In case you ever want try again.

My son was born with dairy eggs nut allergies. We follow normal recipes and switch out the dairy for non dairy options such as soy and oat milk. We also use a product called hasno egg ( they are also gluten and nut free, purchased on Amazon) and use that as an egg substitute. You can even make pavlova and other deserts with it. I'm Australian not sure if that makes a difference but I haven't had to adjust any recipes (just substitute), they all come out perfect. I also found the taste was very similar to the real thing.

I have a really nice recipe for vegan chocolate cake which uses banana, but once I was out of eggs, and tried apple sauce and mostly winged the whole recipe, and although the apple added something different, I absolutely loved it. It would be interesting to experiment further and combine different egg substitutes. Like, I know aquafaba (from chick peas) makes a nice egg white substitute, but maybe add apple sauce or flax seeds with whipped egg white?

The VERY BEST vegan cakes are by Joshua John Russell from @You've Been Desserted. He has chocolate, vanilla, red velvet, banana and carrot. They use only ingredients you already have in your kitchen. The type of milk used will dramatically change the flavor of the cake too. Oat milk with vinegar gives a rich thick, buttermilk consistency, but tastes oaty. Coconut milk makes the end cake sweeter than normal. I use almond milk for the best flavor consistency. Not tried other nut milks as they cost much more than almond.

What type of yogurt was used? Also, you can sift the flax seed before you measure and bloom it to eliminate the texture. I've been baking vegan for over 7 years and not every milk will work, you must use a creamy thick milk like pea milk, it should have the feel of whole milk rather than skim. Some flax milks and almond milks are way too watery. Final tip, use chickpea water to bloom the flax seed, that's what I do for extra structure. :)

I've been vegan for 3 years now and cakes were my jam. My favorite cake recipe doesn't even use an official egg substitute. Sometimes you don't need to substitute everything across the board. A few years ago I decided to find the best vegan brownie recipe and used my husband's coworkers to find the best. I legit made 4 different kinds, chopped it all into bite sized pieces and made questionnaires to be filled out. Then I took my discoveries and messed 2 recipes to make the best one. 😁 Baking science is fun and the only chemistry I know how to excel at. 😉 Keep up the good work Laurie! You're a pleasure to watch. ☺️

Glad to see more vegan recipes! I scroll watching a lot of yummy looking non vegan cakes and it’s such torture T T I’ll defiantly use these someday!

[@jenn1234]

You guys are so cute!! I just love this channel and all that you do! I am hoping you do some kind of Thanksgiving cake comparison video. It’s so awesome seeing what people come up with. Hugs from southwestern NY! 😄❤️🐬

[@jenna_bean]

I’ve always had an egg allergy, and this was such a good comparison!

[@realmadridfan9416]

Vegan! 😁😁. Please try more vegan bakes especially the ones with simpler ingredients, sometimes I find vegan recipes but most of the ingredients are either not available or tooo expensive 😩. So, again thank you so much

Yay!!! So excited to try your recipe :) my kiddos watch your videos all the time and we’re so excited to show me icing artist made a vegan cake! 🤣♥️

[@trebleclef621]

But what sort of yoghurt did you use? If it needs to be vegan, the the yoghurt needs to be vegan, too. That's my one concern here :( I bake solely dairy-free as I'm highly allergic to dairy and have found that soy milk is a good substitute. Glad to see that flax seed worked so well as an egg substitute, though!

[@stephonix616]

She used milk too…not sure what kind, but as someone who has to bake dairy-free, regular milk won’t work for me. 🙁

[@bearsm0m]

@@stephonix616 She says in the video she used macadamia nut milk and adds that any plant based milk will work. Also in the written recipe she posted, it does say plant based milk. 😊. She’s a smart lady... I can’t see her using animal based products when she’s creating a vegan cake.

[@stephonix616]

@@bearsm0m thank you! I totally missed that! I know she’s really conscious of that typically, I seriously didn’t hear it on this one and thought maybe substitutes wouldn’t work. I appreciate the clarification!

[@canvasofthoughts]

She said she used macadamia nut milk :) but even I am wondering about the yogurt

[@c.c.3.3.3]

I wonder if you could mix & match the different organic ingredients to get one that matches egg more?? Awesome video as always. You are so informative and fun to watch

[@rigbymurray6461]

I just want to say thankyou, I am allergic to eggs and this is a game changer, I have been unable to make a good cake and now there might be a chance, you are my favorite baker on youtube

[@susanthevegan]

Thank you! I've been vegan for 16 years so I watch your channel and am inspired. Now I can get really excited.

[@guilly8887]

You have to whip the aquafaba! (Chickpea water) if you're interested I have no joke the best vegan vanilla cake recipe. I had to make a vegan cake for daughter on her first bday bx she was allergic to eggs and dairy!!

[@kayfse8373]

I love how i can come back and rewatch older videos ive already seen as they came out years later and they are still just as interesting. Im not a baker and dont like to bake at all but Laurie rules!! ❤

[@sheraleeronan2326]

I have used flax egg in baking for years Glad you backed up my point about it working as an egg substitute

[@Vikki-Waiting-victoriagrace]

PLEASE DO MORE OF THESE GREAT IDEA!!

[@julieschuler7533]

Honest question: How is it vegan if you use 'buttermilk'? Thank you for all the work you put into these videos!

[@TheIcingArtist]

Hey! I was using a plant based milk alternative (there's a TON of them)! But my fav is macadamia nut. Then you just add your vinegar to that just like you would do to a dairy milk to make a vegan buttermilk. :)

[@Corn22]

i make my own with apple cider vinegar and soy milk. buttermilk is just regular milk with vinegar so it’s easily replicated.

[@LunaBlitz]

@@TheIcingArtist Ahhh I was wondering the same cuz you just kept calling it "milk" (until the end of the video)

[@sarahcorradino9631]

As a relatively newish vegan baker, I like to take recipes and veganize them with Red Mill's egg replacer. And the vegan goods come out just as yummy as the non-vegan goods.

[@dialishious93]

I really love that the 3 you picked are the ones i always substitute with! Nobody ever believes me when i say whatever i baked it vegan. And flax is also my favorite. But i hate grinding it so if its just for the kids i just use applesauce.

[@sonakshiagarwal5825]

Iwas searching for a vegan cake and I tried ur recipe omg it was delicious and I think that u should start sharing eggless recipes and do some fun challenges while baking the cakes ur videos are amazing tho

[@mahan5368]

You never fail to make my day better! You're truly my favorite KZbinr😃❤️

[@averyrabbitt3580]

I thought her partner was really surprised about something before remembering he was waiting, with his mouth open, to be fed lol

[@PaxPixie]

You should collab with Joshua John Russell (JJR) from You've Been Desserted. He makes vegan cakes and has his recipe online. It would be fun to have you bake his recipe and decorate a cake and then have him try to replicate one you've done in the past or something like that.

[@safalafagins]

I would have loved to see the rating and tasting footage of those experiment cupcakes!

[@deepaksharma880]

I love your videos I watch them everyday

[@mariapizzaa]

Soy lethicin is more of an ingredient to use in addition to sth else to sub an egg, not to use as the only ingredient.

[@APinchofBlissTV]

This was 🔥🔥🔥 Thank you for sharing your gift and graces with us! 💕🤗

[@emilymakesstuff]

I whip the flax and water when I use it as a egg replacer so it has a more egg consistency!

[@invadersin5203]

Have you tested JJRs vegan cake recipe? I have been making vegan and dairy free cake for over 10 years now (my eldest is dairy free) and I keep it super simple, I swap my butter for oil margarine, use soy milk (if i can use Goat milk i will cos damn it's brilliant to cook with), and Organ No Egg egg replacer is my favourite egg sub ever. Banana cake is the best no fail recipe too :D

[@sophiaperrin7339]

You could've stopped at what the best substitute was. And than you went on to make it even wilder. You are so crazy cool

[@karenhenery9973]

make the aquafaba into a meringue immediately before you add it to the batter
