Philippa likes making cake, but we had no eggs, so she found a cake recipe which works without eggs. And, remarkably, it's just like normal cake! Proper cakey consistency and everything, and nice too. Here it is, adapted from the veganfamily website:

• Dry ingredients:
  • 300g wholemeal flour
  • 1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
  • 100g sugar
  • 1 packet of walnut pieces (200g, or as much as you like...)
• Wet ingredients:
  • About 1 cup of milk (or enough to mix to a good consistency) (the original recipe used soya milk)
  • About half a cup of sunflower oil
• The juice of 1 lemon

Mix up all the dry ingredients, add the wet ingredients and mix well. At the last minute add the lemon juice and pour into a greased cake tin.

Bake at about 190C/380F for at least half an hour, or until a skewer (or a knife) comes out clean.
