It's why you should plan for a late start. Eggs for breakfast at 11, then continue on during the day, and see where you are at before you go to sleep.

If the number is manageable, just wake up at 9, have eggs for breakfast again. If the number is not manageable (more than 10 or so), eat some before you go to sleep until it gets manageable again. Hopefully avoiding stomach issues during the night.


You can also turn the eggs into a large shake (provided you don’t lose little bits of it to accidentally void the challenge)

A little bit of the albumen remains stuck to the inside of the shell, if you break an egg while it's still raw.

I see potential for people to get no money at all, despite eating 60 eggs, and they won't be happy about that.

Boiling the eggs first solves the problem. Or eating a few extra perhaps.

Basically I do a very good job as long as you like your cakes with lots of filling, relatively little crust and sweat as all hell. Also with real ingredients. None of that instant made quick fix crap.

Yeast is the reason. You either killed the yeast or didn't give it time enough to make the dough rise.

Do you use one of those cake pans with a removable bottom? They really do make a difference.

They used to come with a completely flat base, meaning you could slide a knife under the cake if it was stuck.

Liberal use of bakingpaper takes care of that.

24 is a bit too much. But like 15-20 ish is not beyond reason. After all a good cake is not just for the day but to eat for the next couple days as well.

I find that weird, because I normally just use like 2 eggs to make my cakes. Although maybe it's because I'm using cake mix(I don't really like those kinds tbh). But anything more than 10 seems a bit excessive unless you're making a huge cake.

Two eggs for a sponge cake is about right. It's supposed to be light and fluffy. Too many eggs would make it thick and too filling.
