Birthday Cake With So Many Restrictions Help!

I am in desperate need of a birthday cake recipe for my daugher. She is only 11 months old (birthday party early!) and has severe lactose intollerance (cannot even have plant based lactose), gluten & wheat intollerance and the usual no-no's for under 1 years old (no eggs, only egg substitute -- I have already used the powder sub no problem there--, no nuts, no chocolate). I am just looking for a simple cake recipe so she can enjoy her birthday with the rest of the kids! Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!

I don't have a recipe but I wanted to offer some help. We just made the yellow cake from Cause Your Special cake mixes and liked it. You can order them online. It is gluten/dairy free. I used coconut oil instead of butter and either rice or soy milk instead of milk. I did use real eggs but it says you can use an egg replacement. I used a package frosting mix which did not do well with my margarine so next time I will make frosting from scratch. These cupcakes were good even without frosting.

It doesnt always have to be cake...maybe think creative,

Fruit in a jello mold, pick her favorite fruits and favorite color jello.

An 11 month old doesnt care if its a "cake" just something fun to eat and they can use their hands with jello too :lol:

Just one idea...

Think like a baby - a peeled banana with Happy Birthday written on it with an acceptable icing (one that suits her food requirements)...would be a hit.

Birthdays for kids are supposed ot be enjoyable for mom too - make it easy and enjoy the squeals of delight

Thanks for the hints (unfortunately bananas are a complete no no as well...we're not sure if it's an allergy or not but it wasn't pretty!)! I'm going to look online for that mix.

The cake is more for pictures, I guess. She is our second and what we do for one we have to do for the other...we have great pics of our first at her first birthday eating cake and thought it would be fun to make the second her own special cake!

Sounds fun, hope its a splendid birthday bash.

We were forced to think of other options that are related to sensory issues etc with our daughter and then the diabetes with our son.

Happy birthday to your daughter, I can hear the cameras clicking now!

I never heard of the Cause your special cake mixes - that is so cool!

I have a yummy recipe that is egg-free, dairy-free, gluten-free, soy-free and chocolate-free! It's really a brownie recipe, but I have used it for my, my mom's and my son's birthday cakes. You can substitute cocoa powder for the carob, but we like the carob the best. I double it for a 9 x 13 pan.

Carob Brownie Cake

1 C Br. Rice flour

1/8 tsp. xanthan gum

1 Tbs. Egg Replacer

1/2 C Carob Powder

1-1/2 tsp. Baking Powder

1/4 tsp. Salt

Sift all dry ingredients 2-3 times. Then add:

3/4 C Real Maple Syrup

1/3 C Oil (Melted coconut oil is great!)

1 tsp. Vanilla

Mix well and scrape into greased 9 x 9 pan. Bake at 375 for 18-20 minutes. For brownies, cool slightly, then cut into squares. For cake, cool and then frost.

      Frequent nausea after gluten-free diet

      By petitojou · Posted

      Thank you so much! I saw some tips around the forum to make a food diary and now that I know that the community also struggles with corn, egg and soy, the puzzle pieces came together! Just yesterday I tried eating eggs and yes, he’s guilty and charged. Those there are my 3 combo nausea troublemakers. I’m going to adjust my diet ☺️ Also thank you for the information about MCAS! I’m from South America and little it’s talked about it in here. It’s honestly such a game changer now for treatment and recovery. I know I’m free from SIBO and Candida since I’ve been tested for it, but I’m still going to make a endoscopy to test for H. Pylori and Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). Thank you again!! Have a blessed weekend 🤍

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!

      Calcium levels as measured in the blood can be quite deceiving as the body will rob calcium from the bones to meet demands for it by other bodily functions. Also, supplementing with calcium can be counterproductive as it tends to raise gut pH and decrease absorption. More often than not, the problem is poor absorption to begin with rather than deficiency of intake amounts in the diet. Calcium needs an acidic environment to be absorbed. This is why so many people on PPIs develop osteoporosis. The PPIs raise gut pH. And some people have high gut PH for other reasons. Low pH equates to a more acidic environment whereas high pH equates to a more basic (less acidic) environment.

      Kind thanks for all this valuable information! Since my Folate was/is low and also my Calcium, there IS a chance I am low in B vitamins... My doctor only measured the first two, oh and Zinc as I has twisted her arm and guess what, that was mega low too. So who knows, until I get myself tested properly, what else I am deficient in... I did a hair mineral test recently and it said to avoid All sources of Calcium. But this is confusing for me as my Ca is so low and I have osteoporosis because of this. It is my Adjusted Ca that is on the higher side and shouldn't be. So am not sure why the mineral test showed high Ca (well, it was medium in the test but relative to my lowish Magnesium, also via hair sample, it was high I was told). But anyway, thanks again for the VitB download, I will look into this most certainly!
