3/4 cup soy milk

You can use soy milk in place of cows' milk in equal proportion. You can also use rice milk in 7/8 proportion.
Ener-G Egg Replacer is a powdered blend of starches and leavening. You use 1/2 tbsp powdered replacer to 2 tbsp water per egg. Mix it before you add it to the batter.
Egg Beaters are made of eggs, so they are not vegan.
A good dessert cookbook to start with is "Vegan Cupcakes Take Over the World" by Isa Chandra Moskowitz.
The cookbooks by Sarah Kramer (two cowritten with Tanya Barnard) are also fabulous. Sure.
You just need an egg substitute.
Most vegan cake comes out like halfway between a brownie and a cake, i actually think its better than normal cake. look up the Imus Ranch on the internet.. its a ranch for troubled kids and all the food that is served it non-toxic and completely vegetarian/vegan.. i have the cook book theres some pretty tasty things in there.. you wont miss a thing You can substitute soy milk and do like eggs for the ingredients in a cake recipe. Go to any health food store and you should find what you need. It can be done. use sot milk, egg beaters (substitute)...or go to an all organic gorcery store like Whole Foods if there's one around where you live. Chocolate Cake
