Hello! I'm new to this site. My son has a birthday coming up and wants a cake. He is allergic to glutens, milk, eggs, nut, soy and chocolate. So if anyone has a good cake recipe or suggestion, it will be appreciated. Come to think of it, if you have any recipe or cookbook suggestions that will help widen his food choices will also be helpful. Thanks!

I make the 'Cause You're Special yellow cake. The recipe calls for butter and milk so I use coconut oil and almond milk. I use eggs but it says you can substitute for that also. The mix has no gluten, casein, nuts, or soy. I have found it at a health food store here but I used to order it online at www.causeyourespecial.com. All the gluten eaters I have served it to think it is as good as a regular cake.
For frosting, I use 1 cup of Spectrum shortening, 4 cups of powdered sugar, 1t clear vanilla, and 5 T of water. Mix it on low until blended and then mix on medium for 5 minutes. It makes a perfectly white frosting which can be colored whatever color you want.

Hi,
My daughter just turned three and is also allergic to eggs, has celiac and is lactose intolerant. So we came up with a recipe for cupcakes. I have not tried this in a cake pan, but it make very good cupcakes. Hope this helps. Also I have a small cookbook started with muffins and some cookies, pancakes, pudding and fudge. Just let me know if you have any questions or if any of those types of recipes sound like what you are looking for. I know how hard it is to have multiple allegeries and I would like to help is much as I can. Enjoy!

You can make your own. Just put white sugar in a food processor, coffe grinder or blender and blend till fine. It doesn't take long. 2 minutes at the most.

1/2 cup oil
2 large ripe mashed bananas (about 1 cup)
1/2 tspn grated orange rind
-----------
For the Glaze

New to LI - Were you saying that my health food store might process the sugar for me ?
And does this much sugar make it too sweet ? I was thinking I would need to cut it with potato or tapioca starch to be more like regular powdered sugar. I never got anywhere with this though ...
I am looking forward to making something new ... Marcia

Marcia,
what i was trying to say is that my local store is able to accommadate any dietary issue i or my family has (including my wifes sugar issues). and that maybe a store near you can do the same.
good luck

You should not use butter flavored things if you have a dairy allergy because they are derived from dairy. I use coconut oil as a replacement for oil, butter, margarine, shortening, etc. I used to use Spectrum shortening. It will work too. I just like the flavor of the coconut oil better.

You can easily make your own powedered sugar by whizzing regular powdered sugar in a blender. Just make what you need at one time because it doesn't keep really well. They add cornstarch to it to help keep it from clumping. I've never actually tried to keep any that I've made and I usually only make it if I run out of the regular stuff. Corn is not an issue for us. I've just heard that it doesn't keep well.

When making powder sugar you need to add 1 tbsp of starch per cup of sugar. Blend in after you process the sugar. Sorry I forgot to add that in my last post.
