Substitutes in Baking

Stork Bake will be a suitable replacement for white vegetable shortening. For every cup of vegetable shortening, use one cup + 2 tablespoons of Stork Bake.

You can use regular flour mixed with baking powder to replace self-raising flour. For every cup of flour, mix with 1.5 – 2 teaspoons of baking powder.

Generally you can replace 1 extra large egg with 1 tablespoon vinegar, but if there are more than 2 eggs in a recipe, the vinegar taste becomes overpowering. Please note, if the eggs need to be separated and the whites stiffly beaten, you cannot replace the eggs.

Baking soda is a raising agent, so baking powder can be used instead.

Shortening is margarine or the non liquid “fat” part of your recipe.

Generally you could substitute Oats for Coconut or slightly crushed Cornflakes.
