They are probably watching fat for cholesterol reasons. That would explain the egg substitute as well.

I'd like to know how to cut down on sodium. I am fine with the low-fat in the recipe, but with all three: baking powder and soda, and salt, that's WAY too much sodium for high blood pressure! How much could I cut back on them and still not affect the way the cake raises or bakes? Not sure if I want to make this or not because of this problem.

I haven't made this yet, but in your intro you say that you need to watch your fat intake, but don't say why. If it's for weight control, then fat intake is not entirely to blame--carbs are, especially white flour carbs, white sugar carbs. Calories, too. Also, recent studies have shown that fat-reduced dairy products can enable diabetes 2, so using full fat dairy is actually better for you in that regard.

I for one do not use egg substitutes( there to costly), I use egg whites and a drop of yellow food coloring and mix. One large egg white should do the trick, I would think.

1/4 cup is equal to 4 tablespoons, so the extra 2 tbsp would equal half an egg. I'd probably crack the egg into a glass measuring cup, beat it a little, and then pour in half. I don't think it would need to be 100% accurate.

As another person commented, if you use real eggs, what would you mix with the topping instead of the 2 tbsp egg substitute? HELP!

If 1/4 cup egg substitute is 1 egg - how do you go about getting the extra 2 tbsp. the recipe asks for? Would I use 2 eggs?

Wonderful - Was scarfed up when I took it into work.

This was soooo good!

Made it exactly as told, except I am a raspberry nut so I added a bit more.

I also baked it a little bit too long-I will watch that next time. (there will be many)

My daughter (in her forties and a great cook herself, said the tartness of the raspberries balanced the sweetness perfectly!! Amen.
