Answers:
Soy milk and soy margarine are easily found at most grocery stores. I recommend you phone ahead to see which stores might carry the egg replacer, which is a less common item.

I actually haven't used egg replacer and I make vegan foods on a regular basis. If you have trouble finding this ingredient you can easily make a vegan cake with a recipe that doesn't require eggs.

Here's a vegan recipe for healthy cake and icing. It's not only made without butter and eggs, but without any refined sugar!
I found all the ingredients at my local grocery store. You can also try bulk food stores for cost savings, or health food stores for better quality ingredients.

Basic Dessert Cake (Makes 1 9-inch cake, double this amount for a two-layer cake)

1 ½ cup whole wheat pastry flour
2 ½ teaspoons baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
6 tablespoons date sugar (ground, dried dates)
1 ½ cups soy milk
1 tablespoon cold-pressed vegetable oil
¼ teaspoon cream of tartar
2 teaspoons vanilla

Sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Grind the date sugar into a finer powder and stir into the flour.

In a mixing bowl, combine the soy milk, oil, cream of tartar, and vanilla and beat with an eggbeater for several minutes, until the mixture becomes thick and foamy.
Gently stir this mixture into the flour.

Preheat the oven to 350F. Pour the batter into an oiled and floured 9-inch cake pan. Bake for 25 minutes or until a clean toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Frost with vegan frosting.



Fruit Frosting 1 (frost 1 single-layer cake)

- 5 tablespoons whole wheat pastry flour, passed through a tea strainer to remove coarse bran
- 1 cup natural apple-raspberry juice, or any natural sweet red fruit juice
- 2 tablespoons cold-pressed vegetable oil
- 1 ½ teaspoons natural vanilla
- dash of salt
- 2 tablespoons raw honey
- grated peel of ½ lemon

Combine the flour and juice in a asmall saucepan and bring to a boil, whisking constantly. If clumps appear beat with an eggbeater until the mixture is smooth. Cook for 2 minutes or until the flour is thick. cool for 15 minutes.

Combine the flour mixture and all the other ingredients in a blender and blend at medium speed until smooth. Cool for 30 minutes and whisk before frosting a cake.

Other Answers:
All Walmarts stock food based on local demographics, and I believe that Albertsons does the same. Here's what I can get at all the Wal-marts and Abertsons in my area:

Corn oil or canola oil (you can substitute this for soy margarine - corn oil tastes quite "buttery")

Silken or soft tofu (you can whip a 1/4 cup of this with a teaspon of lemon juice, and it makes a decent egg replacer)

Soy milk (vanilla Silk is pretty widely available and tastes great in cakes)

Unfortunately, I am not familar with any of the other grocery stores you listed.
OK shot yourself now..vegan b-day cake.you Nazi
Go to a health food store.like
Chamberlins..CAntwells..
soy milk definitely wal mart
ask for help from the employees..becuase the vegan stuff is usually not with the other dairy and so on
Im vegetarian..i kno these things.ull want tofu cheese and it will be next to the dips?? so its better to ask them
and
those products are considered special items which will probably be in the deli area somewhere
Hope this helps!!
And you think you are God? Find your ingedients on the Internet.
You can call each of the stores in question to see if they offer the items you are looking for and if transportation is a problem see if they deliver. Some of the bigger chains (Safeway and I think Albertson's) do.

General info recently gathered
You should be able to get egg replacer at any of the stores you mention and also soy milk but am not so sure about the soft soy margerine but Publix may have for seem to have awider selection of not common foods than Walmart or Winndixie and not familiar with albertsons. Good Luck and birthday wishes. also glad you and obviously your friends are vegan. Consider joining PETA on Peta .com
