The amazing thing is that this doesn't just make cake, this makes cake that you could credibly put frosting on and serve to someone (as long as you mix it well and don't end up with scrambled egg chunks in it). I might experiment with doing this in a round pyrex to make cake layers. For the record I have had some success with a banana-flaxseed vegan version in the oven. Also it's hilarious how quickly vegan baking skills reassert themselves. "Well, of course I have powdered flaxseed in the freezer," one says, having not been a vegan for like five years. "Doesn't everyone keep that stuff on hand for an emergency?"
