    Cake recipe without eggs, wheat or gluten, soy, or nuts! Both kid & adult approved

    Almost Allergy free cake from Living Well Kitchen

    Aren't they adorable?! They turned 3 yesterday!

    I've talked about it before, but Joy has food allergies to peanuts, eggs, shellfish, soy & wheat.

    That limits her food options on a daily basis but even more so on a holiday like her birthday.

    What's a girl to do?

    One can't only have {egg-free} ice cream at her birthday celebration!

    She must have birthday cake.

    In fact, she specifically requested a pink birthday cake with candles for her birthday!

    Being the amazing aunt that I am {ha!}, I made an egg-free, nut-free, soy-free, & wheat-free cake for her.

    And it was good ~ 3-year old approved!

    I frosted the cake with this easy butter-cream icing {colored pink, of course}, added some hearts & candles, and this little lady was happy:

    My cake decorating skills are not the best but she didn't mind...

    Ingredients

    • 2 1/2 cups gluten-free flour like Bob's Red Mill All-Purpose Gluten Free Flour
    • 2 teaspoon baking powder
    • 1 teaspoon baking soda
    • 14 ounce can sweetened condensed milk
    • 1 cup 100% orange juice
    • 4 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • 4 teaspoon white vinegar
    • 1/2 cup melted butter

    Instructions

    • Preheat the oven to 325°F. Grease & flour {with the gluten-free 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.
    • Make sure it is completely cool before frosting - I like this easy butter-cream 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.

    Notes

    *Based on this recipe
    *Use a dairy free sweetened condense milk and butter for a dairy free cake.
    *Check ingredients list to ensure that there are no potential allergens in the ingredients list.

    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.
    • This does have a slight orange flavor. You can always use 1/2 cup orange juice and 1/2 cup water instead of all orange juice. I will probably use 3/4 cup OJ and 1/4 cup water next time - and there will be a next time

    Have a great weekend!

      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!
