Egg-free yogurt cake

Once in a while, I run into a recipe that I keep around strictly for practical purposes. Such is the case with this one.
Aside from the stock reason - that it's a great frosting-delivery platform for the guys, because virtually anything will work for that - I like this recipe because it's firm and practically crumb-free. That makes it incredibly useful when it comes to character or sculpted cakes.
It also comes in handy because it makes a single layer, leaving less cake to be consumed before I can bake again.
On its own merits, though, the recipe is a bit bland. It needs help from a flavorful fruit filling or jazzy frosting if you're looking at it strictly as dessert and not an exhibition.
Yogurt cake
- 4 tbl. Bob's Red Mill egg replcer plus 6 tbl. water
- 3/4 c. vanilla yogurt - Fat-free doesn't work as well
- 1 c. sugar
- 1/4 c. oil
- 1 1.2 c. flour
- 1 tsp. baking powder
Beat egg replacer and sugar at high speed until light and fluffy, then turn at medium speed and add yogurt and oil. Then at low speed add flour, 1/2 cup at a time. Pour into greased and floured nine-inch pan and bake for 30 minutes at 350 degrees.
A cautionary note about the pan: This is too much batter for an eight-inch pan. I used a standard nine-inch pan - as opposed to my commericial pans, which are two-inches deep - and I was afraid it was going to overflow.
