You Are Never Too Old To Learn!! Plus Simple Pound Cake Replacement!
Today my son phoned me and wanted to know, because they cannot get eggs in their store in their area, if you can substitute apple sauce for eggs in a cake recipe.

He called me right back and said 1/4 cup of unsweetened applesauce can replace each egg. I did know you can replace the oil in your rec
