Do you have a tasty recipe for a dairy-free, egg-free, nut free cake for a child?

[Snowstorm]

Following on from my earlier thread but needing to throw an extra allergy into the equation ...

Using ingredients from a bog-standard Sainsbury's ... is there such a thing as a recipe for a dairy/egg/nut free cake?

Would be particularly pleased to get a recipe that's been tried and tested and is actually tasty!

Very many thanks.

Here is what we use -

4oz self raising flour
4oz pure
4 oz caster sugar
2oz silken tofu

Wizz the pure and sugar together until smooth and creamy then wizz in tofu and finally mix in the flour. beat well together incorporating loads of air. Bake as per a normal sponge, in 8inch tin for 20ish minutes.

It tastes just like normal sponge.

I have posted before a recipe for an "Eggless Choc Cake" which is truly moist & scrummy (and other MNers confirmed this), but it uses milk. If you can substitute soya milk it may work?

yes yes yes, hang on and will find the recipe

it's this one

from the vegan with a vengeance book. it is SOOOOO nice,. I always get complimented on it and have used it for several birthdays recently.
In fact, I have one sitting downstairs right now for ds1's birthday tomorrow

people can't even usually tell it's vegan.

the only thing I do differently to the recipe is use a bit less oil, and I don't put the raspberry preserve in the middle, we like it to be just chocolate lol

Excuse my ignorance but ... oopsacoconut - what is 'pure'?

pure is a dairy-free margarine.

Okay - thanks for that!

We also use pure for the icing and put jam or carob spread in the middle.

Not sure though if carob spread is nut free.

Kids at the last party didn't even notive it wasn't a 'proper' sponge. The tofu gives it a very rich flavour.

Chocolate Oil Cake.
Just eaten the one we made today for my DH's Birthday and it is delicious.
No nuts,eggs or dairy whatsoever.

400 g white sugar
375 g all-purpose flour
9 g baking soda
3 g salt
45 g unsweetened cocoa powder
475 ml water
235 ml vegetable oil
30 ml distilled white vinegar
5 ml vanilla extract

DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
In a large bowl, mix sugar, flour, baking soda, salt and cocoa.
Add water, vegetable oil, vinegar, and vanilla. Beat by hand until smooth.
Pour into a 9x13 inch pan. Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 40 minutes, or until toothpick inserted into center of cake comes out clean.

Very quick and easy.
Decorate with Butter Icing made with "Pure"
and a bit of Cocoa for chocolate flavour.
I just covered mine with fondant Icing aswell but I am not sure about the egg or Nuts in that.

Hope this helps.

I put one on the mumsnet recipes that is delicious...

Thank you so much for taking the time to type all that out Mummy2LZ and for the link offerdilemma ... those look very do-able. My best friend's daughter has lots of allergies and so I'll also pass these on to her.

Thanks again.
