To replace one egg use 2 1/2 tablespoons of powdered egg substitute plus 2 1/2 tablespoons water OR 1/4 cup liquid egg substitute OR 1/4 cup silken tofu pureed OR 3 tablespoons mayonnaise OR half a banana mashed with 1/2 teaspoon baking powder OR 1 tablespoon powdered flax seed soaked in 3 tablespoons water.
Milk and eggs both add water, fat and protein to a cake mixture. They each have different proportions of these. Milk has a lot more water and less protein.
Water
* dissolves the sugar making the cake smoother in texture * is a medium for blending all ingredients together to make an even and cohesive mix * allows the protein in flour (gluten) to form
* dissolves rising agents allowing them to react in solution and form gas bubbles that make the cake lighter * helps stop the cake feeling dry
Protein
* gives strength or resilience to the cake allowing it to hold together in a soft textured way. With gluten (see above) this can be overdone making cakes tough or chewy. * strengthens the walls of bubbles formed during rising so that they last through to the end of the cooking and the cake does not "fall"
Fat
* gives moisture to the cake that is not lost as easily as water evaporating, giving a longer shelf life * gives a soft feel * melts in the mouth (especially dairy fats or egg fats) giving a luxurious feel
Eggs are binders which help hold all the ingredients together. Eggs contribute liquid to a recipe and thus serve as a toughener, especially the egg white portion. Egg whites are often used to produce a light, airy texture, and yolks contribute to the colour, flavour, and texture of baked products. But, too many egg whites, such as in a reduced-fat cake recipe make it dry. Including at least one whole egg helps to tenderize. Eggs can also act as leaveners especially when egg whites are beaten separately. The yolk functions to emulsify fat and liquids due to its lecithin content
Eggs help in leavening, but their main job is to serve as a liquid in the ingredient list, egg yolks also enrich and soften the product.
eggs usually add flavor and moisture to cake mix. its also easier for a cake to cook with eggs in it and eggs hold the cake together.
When you cook without eggs for instance a cake with eggs the cake is flat and sticks together without eggs it breaks up .
eggs help to keep the cake together instead of crumbling apart

Describe how the Middle Colonies were different from the New England Colonies?
Middle Colonies v. New England ColoniesThe biggest difference between the two regions is the soil composure. In New England you had a much rockier soil composure while in the Middle Colonies you had a much softer, fertile soil composure. Because of this farming in the New England colonies was very hard. Also becasue of the difference in soil composure there are different kinds of forests. In New England you have many more coniferous forests, because of the colder weather patterns and harder soil composition, in the Middle states forest are dominated by deciduos trees, or trees that loose their leaves in autumn. The climate in the New England colonies is much harsher also leading to short planting seasons for the Pilgrims. It was not an ideal location for a settlement -- the Pilgrims were actually shooting for Virginia, but a storm threw them off path and they ended up in what is today Provincetown, Cape Cod, MA
