I have just made a batch of cupcakes following an American recipe.
There are NO eggs and NO butter in this recipe.
It replaces these with mayonnaise :eek:
Needless to say, they were rubbish !
There was a hard crust to them and the insides were "doughy"
When I squeezed the inside in my hand, it just stayed in a damp lump.
Threw them all in the bin (24 of them !)

Now - where's the "vomit" smiley ??
...still sounds revolting though!
I remember them making a mayonnaise cake on Blue Peter in the mid 90s at some point. I don't think it's a particularly new thing.
Is this just trying out this particular recipe or is this a dietary thing, Andy Birkenhead? If it's the latter, then there are some ideas here: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20090302112226AA8O3Vz
In order to lighten the density and texture of soda bread, I've sometimes put a beaten egg into the mixture but I have also found that a mashed up banana does the same thing and imparts a nice taste to the bread too.
I'm into baking at the moment. I love making cupcakes, and I googled "Unusual ideas for cupcakes".
The recipe I tried came up, so I thought I'd do it.
I wish I hadn't bothered - it was foul !
Oh well, you win some and you lose some !
