Allergen free birthday cake, have you been through that?

[Chandra]

DS is going to be 3 yrs old this week and I have to bake a cake free from egg, milk, soya, and nuts. I have found an egg replacer so a recipe which includes egg may be OK. But could you create a yummy fluffy sort of sponge cake without milk/soya milk?

Any help will be highly welcomed, the easiest the recipe the better (I'm a terrible cook and besides of the complexities of the instructions I'm a bit worried that I'm not going to be familiar with most of the ingredients a very experienced baker knows by heart!)

TIA

mymamma - glad you've posted as I couldn't remember where I'd originally copied your recipe from. I also have to say a HUGE thank you for it. Ds1 (egg allergic) and ds2 (milk) both had birthdays in March for which I had to make 2 cakes each (one for home the otherfor nursery). Your recipe was the only one of 4 that I tried that actually worked....andworked so well too. MIL v impressed (always a bonus). I used the pureed banana as egg replacer as I've never really had much success with the ENER-G stuff. THank you thank you ! Actually I'm about to make another one tomorrow for ds1 belated soft play party. It's fantastic to know that it will turn out well every time!

Nice to hear the cake is a hit. It does work out very well with the replaced ingredients but is also gorgeous made with "normal" ingredients.
