It seems most vegan chocolate cake recipes I use/come across call for equal amounts of both baking soda and baking powder. On that note, I have always found vegan brownies a challenge, even with gluten! Always to dry or too gummy. For the chocolate cake, is an egg replacer absolutely necessary?

We haven’t done a lot of testing with different combinations of egg substitutes for these mixes, so we always appreciate this kind of feedback - it'll help us better serve our customers in the future. That said, we do note on the product page for <a href="http://www.kingarthurflour.com/shop/items/gluten-free-brownie-mix" rel="nofollow">brownies</a> that flax- or starch-based egg replacers don’t work well – and I hope we'll be able to incorporate that right on the box to prevent this problem in the future! Thanks again. Thanks for the honest review!

I thought about using silken tofu in the brownies but thought it might come out gummy. I wish I had read the info about not using flax before I started. That kinda stuff would be helpful on the box. Haha. The flavors were really good, but it is so tricky to find the right combo when the company just tests the mixes with eggs.

I'm still searching for the crust that makes me sing! We have an upscale vegan restaurant here in Portland (Portobello's) and they do an amazing xgfx pizza. Their crust seems to be grilled in oil in a cast iron skillet, sorta like Pan Pizza. It is sooOOo good, but I have no idea what sort of flour base it has. xo kittee Oh~
