Egg-free Chocolate cake

[debliz5]

Hi,
My DS is going to be 2 next month and he's allergic to eggs and nuts. Do you know a receipe for a nice egg-free chocolate cake? Very much appreciated, thanks!

look on vegan websites they have some good cake recipies.

Thanks, alibobins. I'll check it out.

You could try this:
115g raw cane sugar
4 tsp cocoa or carob powder
1/2 tsp salt
170g whole wheat flour
3/4 tsp baking soda
90ml veg oil
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 tsp cider vinegar or wine vinegar
200ml cold water

1. Mix thoroughly the sugar, cocoa (or carob), salt, flour and baking soda in a mixing bowl.
2. Add the oil, vanilla extract and vinegar and pour cold water over.
3. Combine well with a fork but do not beat.
4. Pour into two oiled cake pans and bake in a moderate oven (350F, 180C, gas 4) for 30 mins or until the cake springs back when lightly pressed. Leave to cool.

Add topping as desired etc

How about a choc rice crispy cake made with chocolate, golden syrup, butter and rice crispies. Decorate with smarties?

egg replacer works quite well if you want to use a normal cake recipe

I have a fantastic egg & milk free recipe - I'll dig it out!

Thanks, girls and Dad. Tou're very helpful. I've never tried egg replacer. Where can you get it? in organic shops?
Marne, that sounds very yummy! what's the recipe?
Merry, thanks for the recipe, and Lil, thanks too. I'll be happy to have your recipe when you have the time.
Cheers!

Egg replacer is exactly what the name suggests - something that you can use as a replacement to egg in recipes requiring eggs. (no shit!)

There are different brands of egg replacer you can buy in health food shops - a good one is the imaginatively named "No Egg".

Otherwise we have a recipe for making your own egg replacer from store cupboard ingredients that you are likely to already have. can dig it out if you want.

I'll check out this egg replacer, and if you don't have to dig to far, I'll be happy to have the recipe for making my own. Cheers.

I'm looking for the book for you - it can't be far away.......

I just googled it and got hundreds of recipies. Lots to choose from!

debliz5 - I've got the recipe. What's your email address and I'll scan it in and email to you.

Microwaveable egg-free and milk-free chocolate cake

(A cup is 240ml. I use a baby bottle to measure!)

1 1/2 cups plain flour

1 cup sugar

3 tablespoons cocoa

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 cup cold water

1/3 cup vegetable oil

1 tablespoon vinegar

Combine all the dry ingredients. Add the water and oil and mix. Microwave on high for 8-10 minutes.

It comes out very light, and a bit like a commercial chocolate cake, but more chocolatey. And very quick.

Thanks, LilRed. I'll send you an e-mail. Also thanks Vesela for the recipe. I shall try it out.
