The study aimed to evaluate the batter and product quality of eggless cake under the combination of three types of wheat flours and two types of hydrocolloids including carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) and xanthan (Xan). An eggless cake formula was established using whey protein concentrate, soybean oil and emulsifiers to substitute for the protein in egg white and the oil and lecithin in egg yolk. Wheat flour with higher protein content decreased batter viscosity and pH, increased batter-specific gravity and made eggless cakes with higher water activity, firmness, cohesiveness and resilience, but with lower baking loss, pH and springiness. Eggless cakes with hydrocolloids had higher batter viscosity and specific gravity compared with controls. Xan made cakes with the lowest baking loss and highest water activity and firmness. CMC-prepared cakes exhibited the lowest firmness but had the highest springiness and resilience. Optimum eggless cakes were made from Xan cake flour and CMC bread flour.
