    Cake recipe without eggs, wheat or gluten, soy, or nuts! Both kids & adults approved

    Here's a great option for an egg-free, nut-free, soy-free, & wheat-free cake.

    Please note that this is not dairy-free.

    Almost Allergy free cake from Living Well Kitchen

    It's 3-year-old and adult approved!

    The cake was frosted with this easy butter-cream icing.

    Some things to know about this recipe:

    • If you do not need to make it wheat or gluten-free, you can use regular cake flour or unbleached all-purpose flour.
      • If you do use the gluten-free baking mix, know that the cake batter is not going to taste very good. No worries because it comes out great after it's baked & frosted 
    • The cake is free of eggs, nuts, soy, and wheat & gluten.
    • It is not free of dairy - you'll have to make or find dairy-free condensed milk and butter.

    Ingredients

    • 2 ยฝ cups gluten-free flour
    • 2 teaspoon baking powder
    • 1 teaspoon baking soda
    • 14 ounce can sweetened condensed milk
    • ยพ cup 100% orange juice
    • ยผ cup water
    • 4 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • 4 teaspoon white vinegar
    • ยฝ cup melted butter

    Instructions

    • Preheat the oven to 325°F. Grease & flour a 13 x 9" baking pan or two cake pans.
    • Sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir.
    • Add in the remaining ingredients in the order listed, and stir well to completely combine.
    • Pour cake batter into prepared baking pans, and bake in preheated oven for 25-30 minutes. The cake should be lightly brown, and a cake tester should come out clean.
    • Let cool for 15-20 minutes in the pan on a cooling rack; then remove from pan to a cooling rack.

    Notes

    *Based on this recipe
    *Use dairy-free sweetened condensed milk and butter for a dairy-free cake.
    *Check the ingredients list to ensure that there are no potential allergens in the ingredients list.
    *Make sure the cake is completely cool before frosting.
    *These can also be baked in muffin tins to make cupcakes. Be sure to spray the tin really well and/or use foil muffin liners. They take about 15-18 minutes to bake.

      This is great! My 4 y/o son is allergic to nuts and eggs, so I know how challenging baking can be!

      About how many cupcakes will this make and what about timing on it? Thanks!

        I've never tried it with cupcakes, but I assume it would be 24 cupcakes. Bake it at the same temperature and just check the cupcakes around 18-20 minutes with a cake tester in one of the cupcakes. It could take longer, not positive.
        I hope that helps!
        I'll make them as cupcakes next time and come up with more accurate directions. Thanks for your question!
