These days we get eggs that are much smaller than what we used to get in the good old days When I baked the date and walnut cake for last Christmas I realised it turned out a bit dry and then I realised it was because of the eggs The recipe says 4 eggs but I should have put 5 as the size eggs has reduced. This Christmas I will remember to put 5 eggs instead of 4 in my date and walnut cake and hope to get a moist cake. Image credit:Pixabay

I buy eggs labeled large and I haven’t noticed any difference.

@allknowing They look the same size. I can’t tell any difference.

They are smaller and more expensive. Perhaps the hens are malnourished.

Even our eggs are subject to shrinkflation these days!

As long as they are just used for frying may be you can eat two instead of one but in recipes one needs to worry

I hope that putting an extra egg helps your date and walnut cake taste really good.
