Just preheat your oven for about 15 mins at 180°c and then throw the cake tin with batter inside the oven for about 35-40 mins at 160-180°c depending upon the size of your cake and your otg! Your welcome 😅

[@AppreciativeViewer]

The sparkling water works well for anything you fear won't be fluffy enough and that adding too much baking soda or powder will affect the flavor. Really good affordable egg sub for a lot of recipes. Great for vegan (or non-vegan) pancakes and waffles too!

@@des_des_00There's a practice you'll see sometimes of not writing out the Lord's names/titles in their full form, out of respect. The nearest comparison I can think of is how you probably don't call your human parents by their first names, also as a mark of respect. It's not that their names are considered bad or anything; it's basically a formality thing. (-: Hope that answered your question decently for now. You can definitely find more detailed explanations online, though.

this cake looks super fluffy?? is that bc of the soda water?? most of the vegan baked goods i have tried are super dense and mealy due to the no egg. this recipe lokks very promising!!

[@caseydakus7492]

Egg does very little to make baked goods fluffy. Probably the baker you went to made a mistake somehow. Things like baking soda or baking powder are usually the thing that give baked goods their fluffiness (unless like, whipped egg whites are a part of the non-vegan batter) but yeah carbonated beverages also are great for this. I’ve seen that so much with non-vegan bakers though. Like, they’ll make a cake that’s too dense, and think “oh I’ll just add more egg” and then get surprised when it comes out just as dense the second time. Like, lack of egg isn’t the problem there, captain lol, you need to try something else

[@barbaramcmillan3835]

​@@caseydakus7492 Eggs do cause rising in cake type recipes (and Yorkshire Pudding). Although not in quiche or frittata. Always seemed like an anomaly to me 🙂
