You have a problem that vegans would be proud of - an allergy to an animal by-product. So you can't eat eggs, no biggie at all. Lots of stores sell egg substitute which can be used in place of eggs. If you want to really get some sinful chocolate cake without egg substitute either, go to peta.org and click on some of their recipe links. I guarantee that you won't find many egg dishes on that site! Bon appetit! In my family alone there are 4 people allergic to eggs, myself included. All of us can still eat cake. It has something to do with the process of being mixed and baked. Be careful though...We all can usually eat cookies, cakes, muffins, certain breads with eggs in the ingredients or the like. Most people who are allergic to eggs are allergic to the egg white. Mostly it is trial and error, unfortunately on this. How are you allergic? What does eggs do to you? We get severe cramps. Stay away from casserole type dishes with eggs in them however...contains too much of the actual egg still.

Can't guarantee taste, because you know, to each their own, but here goes:

"White Vegan Cake

Ingredients:

1-1/2 cups flour
3/4 cup sugar
2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
3/4 cup soy milk
2 tsp vanilla
Egg replacer equivalent to 1 egg, beaten

Preparation:

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a cake pan. In large bowl, mix together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Combine remaining ingredients, and add to flour mixture. Beat for 2 minutes. Bake for 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in center of cake comes out dry.

Chocolate Cake

Ingredients:

1-1/2 cup flour
1/3 cup cocoa powder
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 cup cold water (or ice coffee)
2 tsp vanilla extract
2 tsp vinegar

Preparation:

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Use a small brownie size pan (no greasing required). Mix all the dry ingredients right in pan. Mix all the wet ingredients in separate bowl except the vinegar (important!). Add wet ingredients to dry and stir until all dry ingredients are mixed. Add the vinegar quickly and stir in — immediately put the pan in the oven and bake for 25 to 30 min. Cool thoroughly.

Optional: after you add the vinegar, you can put some frozen cherries, raspberries or cranberries on top of the batter (or you can mix them in beforehand)

Applesauce Spice Cake

Ingredients:

1/2 cup molasses
1 cup applesauce
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp cloves
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1-3/4 cup flour (whole wheat pastry flour is good)
2 tsp ginger (optional)

Preparation:

Combine the molasses and applesauce in a large bowl. Combine remaining ingredients and stir into the liquid. (If the batter seems very dry, add a little more applesauce or a little water.) Bake in a nonstick 8 x 8-inch baking pan or one sprayed with a non-stick spray, in a 350° F (175°C) oven, for 30 to 45 minutes, or until it tests done.

The optional ginger makes an acceptable gingerbread. You can also leave out the ginger and add 3 or 4 tablespoons of cocoa to make a tasty but not very sweet or rich chocolate cake.

1/4 cup maple syrup

Filling: Blend all ingredients in a food processor or blender until smooth (about 30 seconds). Pour the mixture into the crust and bake until the top is slightly brown, about 30 minutes. Cool and refrigerate until thoroughly chilled, about 2 hours.

Here a Cake Without Eggs, Milk, or Butter!
"2 c. raisins
1 c. sugar
3/4 c. brown sugar
1 c. water
1/2 c. canola oil
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. ginger
1/2 tsp. allspice
------------------------------
3 1/2 c. flour
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. baking powder
*1 c. chopped nuts

Combine first group of ingredients in a saucepan, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes; allow to cool completely.

In a mixing bowl, combine second group of ingredients. Blend saucepan mixture with dry mixture until smooth.

Pour into a greased and floured pan, and bake at 350 degrees F. (9" x 13" pan, tube pan, or 'Bundt' pan, bake for approx. an hour; smaller pans require less baking time). Cake is done when a toothpick or knife inserted in center comes out 'clean' and when cake pulls away from the edge of the pan.

Other suggestions and comments:
This is a cake that was popular with families during WWII, because of the 'rationing' of scarce commodities. By comparison, today we have almost an embarrassment of riches available in our suburban supermarkets."
