Eggless Cake Recipes?

I'm just curious is there such a thing as a cake recipe that doesn't use eggs.

Almost all the recipes I've seen for cakes, have egg in them and it seems unfair to people who have allergies to egg that they can't have a cake for a party or have to have the really basic sweets (like chocolate, fruit, etc) when they go to a party

Update:

I noticed one of you had something about egg replacer any idea what that would be.

Is it just an alternative binding agent.

If so what could you use as a binding agent

    Heres a great list of eggless cake recipes i use all the time !

    White Vegan Cake

    Ingredients:

    1-1/2 cups flour

    3/4 cup sugar

    2 tsp baking powder

    1/4 tsp salt

    3/4 cup soy milk

    2 tsp vanilla

    Egg replacer equivalent to 1 egg, beaten

    Preparation:

    Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a cake pan. In large bowl, mix together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Combine remaining ingredients, and add to flour mixture. Beat for 2 minutes. Bake for 30 minutes in cake pan, or until a toothpick inserted in center of cake comes out dry.

    Chocolate Cake

    Ingredients:

    1-1/2 cup flour

    1/3 cup cocoa powder

    1 tsp baking soda

    1/2 tsp salt

    1 cup sugar

    1/2 cup vegetable oil

    1 cup cold water (or ice coffee)

    2 tsp vanilla extract

    2 tsp vinegar

    Preparation:

    Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Use a small brownie-size pan (no greasing required). Mix all the dry ingredients right in pan. Mix all the wet ingredients in separate bowl except the vinegar (important!). Add wet ingredients to dry and stir until all dry ingredients are mixed. Add the vinegar quickly and stir in — immediately put the pan in the oven and bake for 25 to 30 min. Cool thoroughly.

    Optional: after you add the vinegar, you can put some frozen cherries, raspberries or cranberries on top of the batter (or you can mix them in beforehand)

    Applesauce Spice Cake

    Ingredients:

    1/2 cup molasses

    1 cup applesauce

    1 tsp cinnamon

    1/2 tsp cloves

    1 tsp baking powder

    1/2 tsp baking soda

    1-3/4 cup flour (whole wheat pastry flour is good)

    2 tsp ginger (optional)

    Preparation:

    Combine the molasses and applesauce in a large bowl. Combine remaining ingredients and stir into the liquid. (If the batter seems very dry, add a little more applesauce or a little water.) Bake in a nonstick 8 x 8-inch baking pan or one sprayed with a non-stick spray, in a 350° F (175°C) oven, for 30 to 45 minutes, or until it tests done.

    The optional ginger makes an acceptable gingerbread. You can also leave out the ginger and add 3 or 4 tablespoons of cocoa to make a tasty but not very sweet or rich chocolate cake.

    Lemon Tofu Cheesecake

    Ingredients:

    Crust:

    2 cups graham crackers

    1/4 cup maple syrup

    1/2 tsp almond extract

    1/2 cup sugar

    1/4 teaspoon almond exact

    1/2 salt

    1 to 2 Tbsp lemon juice

    1/2 tsp lemon zest

    2 Tbsp cornstarch dissolved in

    2 Tbsp soy or rice milk

    Preparation:

    Crust: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Crush the crackers and mix them with the syrup and almond extract in a bowl until moistened. Pour into a 9-inch pie plate, press evenly to form a crust and bake for 5 minutes. Cool while preparing filling.

    Filling: Blend all ingredients in a food processor or blender until smooth (about 30 seconds). Pour the mixture into the crust and bake until the top is slightly brown, about 30 minutes. Cool and refrigerate until thoroughly chilled, about 2 hours.
