Asked by Layyla_always 29 months ago

Details:

my nephew's 29th birthday is coming up and I need a recipe for a birthday cake. He can't eat any dairy at all (eggs are ok). He becomes totally sick to his stomach and none of the lactose intolerant supplements help. I'd like to make him a nice birthday cake. Help?

"Go kosher"

A good place to go looking for dairy-free cakes that still have eggs in them is to look in kosher recipes.  Vegan recipes are also good, but they don't eat eggs, and it's really difficult to get a good cake texture without eggs.

Here's one recipe, from a kosher cookbook:

    * 2/3 cup cocoa
    * 2 1/4 cup flour
    * 2 cups sugar
    * 1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
    * 1 1/2 tsp. baking soda
    * 3/4 tsp salt
    * 1 1/2 tsp instant coffee
    * 3 eggs
    * 1 1/2 c. orange juice or water (or a combination)
    * 3/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
    * 1/4 cup canola oil or 11/4 cup oil

Combine all dry ingredients in a large bowl. Add liquid ingredients.  Beat until smooth with an electric mixer.

Pour batter into a well greased and floured 10" tube pan, 12 cup Bundt pan, or two 9" round pans. Bake at 350 for 55 to 60 minutes (45-50 minutes for the layers), until cake tests done.

Cool for 20 minutes before removing cake from pan.
