egg substitutes

so, i went to make a perry dinner tonight (cake), and realized that i didn't have any eggs. how do you make a cake without eggs? so, i called my mom to find out what you can substitute for eggs in a recipe. she was talking with stephanie, so i had dad tell her to call me back. it took a little longer than i thought, so i went online, and googled egg substitutes for cakes.
HA, vegans have many substitutes! they suggested applesauce or bananas, not an egg substitute. you can use those for oil substitutes, though. they suggested eggbeaters. those are just egg whites with food coloring in them, not a substitute. (oh, btw-it's sunday, no shopping) they also suggested substitutes that you can find from a health food store. then i found one that the ingredients were staple pantry items. it works for baked and cooked things, but not if you want just eggs. the cake was a little dry, but not bad overall.
for 1 egg:
2 Tbs flour
1/2 Tbs butter
1/2 tsp baking powder
2 tsp water
