I haven’t mastered it yet and don’t plan to for a while. The only cake I can make is a brownie because you don’t have to separate and whip the eggs.

Can you help? We are sick of brownie and want some new ideas that will guarantee-not-flop! Footnote: I can flop any cake.

Ideas: coffee cake, chocolate chip cake… anything. Thanks!

Lots of cakes don't require separating and whipping eggs. I know you don't want to hear this, but I recommend getting comfortable with the idea of separating and whipping egg whites. Your cakes will be better. Your family will be happier. Your friends will love you more. People will find you more beautiful and interesting as a result. The world will seem like a sunnier place. We can talk you through it.

Wacky cake used to be very popular in the US during WWII because it doesn't use eggs or butter. No eggs--the leavening is required by mixing vinegar and baking soda!

I, too, don't separate eggs all the time, but I do think it's a good skill to have. It means you can have those nice flourless cakes in your repertoire. Also delicious little fudgy souffle cakes with the melty centers. Lots of things.

Chocolate Chip Crumb Cake

3 cups flour
1+1/2 cups sugar
1/2 cup oil
1 vanilla sugar
1 stick margarine

Mix until crumbly about 2-3 minutes. Save one cup of crumbs. Then add

1 10 oz whip topping
2 eggs
2 tsp baking powder

Then add 1/2 pack of chocolate chips. Mix another 1/2 minute.

Put in 9x13. Put crumbs on top. Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes. Delicious.

None of my cakes use seperate eggwhite (can you guess what type of person I am Wink

)
Here you have some easy ones to start with:
6 eggs
3 cups sugar
2 van sugar

beat it during 4 minutes on max

slow down and add:
1 cup boiling water (you can add cocoa and coffe if you want a choc cake)
1 cup oil
little bit of wine (opt)

even slower
2 glasses flour
1 baking powder
2 glasses flower

half on hour in the oven and enjoy!
This recipe used to be my only one for a long time (you can add nuts for a nut cake, cacao for a choc cake, half of it mixed with cocoa for a marble cake, strawberries and jelly on top for a fancy cake...
I have a delicious lemon one too and a apple cake but I'll first have to get my recipe book...I'M LAZY!!!

5 eggs
2 cups sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 cup sunflower oil
3/4 cup juice
2 1/4 cup flour
3/4 cup nuts of your choice

Put the nuts in the mixer, and powder them. Add eggs, sugar and the rest of the ingredients and mix well.
Bake for 30 minutes at 180 Celsius.

You can personalize the cake in many ways, add 1/2 cup of cocoa powder insted of the same amoun of flour, or add cinnamon and vanilla, or make it marbled...it's just good!

OK, I do agree that its an important skill to have. Should be mandatory in finishing school education. Wink
