I used a recipe for a home made egg replacer, which I found on the internet. It is 1 C potato starch/flour, 3/4 C tapioca starch/flour and 2 tsp baking powder. Put the ingredients in a jar and shake them up. 1 1/2 tsp of mix + 2 T water = 1 whole egg.

What I did was halve the recipe to make two 6" layers, which usually works with most recipes intended to be 8" cake layers.
