Even though Bisquick has baking powder already added, incorporating an extra teaspoon mixed with vinegar aids in the cake’s ability to rise for the eggless recipes.
When it comes to making cakes, it’s important to have the right ingredients, so it doesn’t fall flat.
Eggs not only give moisture and act as a leavening agent, but they are also the glue that binds the ingredients and holds the cake together. There are many reasons some people choose to bake without the use of eggs; whether it’s sensitivity, an allergy, or you are baking for someone who is vegan. There are many ways in which to replace eggs, though, so don’t despair. An easy substitute is using baking soda mixed with vinegar. These two ingredients mixed induce a chemical reaction which will cause a cake to rise. If you are not concerned with your cake rising, you can replace eggs with ingredients such as applesauce, flax or chia seeds, bananas, and yogurt.

I’ve made this cake many times and always get tons of compliments. You can also choose to make this cake gluten-free by using the gluten-free Bisquick option. I usually prepare this recipe without frosting as it’s quite moist on its own. The only thing that makes this cake taste better is a perfect cup of coffee to go with it.
