Frequently Asked Questions
You can substitute each egg with 1/4 cup of unsweetened applesauce, 1/4 cup of mashed bananas, or 1/4 cup of yogurt. For a vegan option, try using a flaxseed meal: mix 1 tablespoon of flaxseed meal with 2.5 tablespoons of water, let it sit for 5 minutes, and use it as a replacement for one egg.
Store leftover meat cake in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To extend its shelf life, you can freeze individual slices wrapped in plastic wrap and placed in a freezer bag for up to 2 months. Thaw in the refrigerator before reheating.
If the meat cake turns out dry, it could be due to overbaking or not enough moisture in the batter. To remedy this, you can add a bit more milk or oil next time. If the cake is already baked, try serving it with a sauce or gravy to add moisture. You can also pair it with a side of salsa or a fresh salad for added juiciness.
