Answer 1

White Cake

When our daughter was diagnosed with major food allergies at 11 months of age, all I could think of was what are we going to do next month about her birthday cake?!?! We used this cake recipe for her first birthday. I made her a personal cake using this recipe, while everyone else had regular cake. There are many allergen-free cake recipes out there that taste awful or don't work quite right. I threw about 10 cakes in the garbage, before deciding to use this recipe.



A little note: It is difficult to make cakes without wheat flour, and it is impossible to do so without changing the consistency considerably (especially when you can't use egg either). For starters, the cakes have to be smaller--either cupcake size, loaf pan size, or some variation thereof, or else they won't rise properly. It is important to use the pan size indicated when using this cake recipe, because it can change things considerably if you don't. This cake is dense and moist (think: pumpkin bread), but is the closest we could come to a real birthday cake for our baby's first birthday. We did the whole baby digs in the cake and rubs icing all over herself so that we could take pictures of her kind of birthday, and she loved it! Warning: it is VERY sweet.





You'll need:

1 1/2 cups brown rice flour (at health food store)

1/2 cup potato starch (at health food store)

1/4 cup tapioca flour (at health food store)

3/4 tsp. xanthan gum (health food store)

1 Tbsp. Egg Replacer (Ener-G Egg Replacer is great)

1 tsp. baking powder

1/2 tsp. baking soda

1/2 tsp. cream of tartar

1/2 tsp. salt

1 1/2 cups sugar

1/2 cup canola oil

2 tsp. vanilla

1/2 cup plain warm rice milk (or soy if you prefer)

2 Tbsp. applesauce

Mock "Buttercream" Icing, if desired



Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line 2-6" round cake pans with parchment paper. Grease the paper and sides of the pans. Combine dry ingredients in one bowl, and wet ingredients in another. Add milk mixture to dry ingredients and stir until smooth. Fill pans and bake 30-35 minutes or until cake tester inserted into center comes out clean. Remember: the consistency will be different from regular cake. It will be dense and moist. Cool in the pan for 15 to 20 minutes, and transfer to wire rack to cool completely. Cover with Mock "Buttercream" icing, if desired.



Mock "Buttercream" Icing

Very sweet, but a decent substitute for regular buttercream icing



1 pound box of powdered sugar

1 cup shortening

1/4 tsp. salt

4 Tbsp. water

1 tsp. vanilla



Dissolve salt and vanilla in water. Use mixer to beat shortening separately for 1 minute. Add liquid mixture slowly until blended. Add powdered sugar in small batches until all sugar is combined. If icing is too stiff, add just enough water, until smooth enough to spread.

Is there a reason that your not useing eggs other than you haven't introduced them yet? I did not give either of my children table food until they were a year old. As a matter of fact I'm pretty sure the B-day cake was the first non baby food. The teething biscuits might have had eggs in them I'm not sure. Anyway my children ate very little of their cake and just had fun playing in it. I am including a recipe for a vegan carrot cake recipe. You could put fondant on it if you don't want iceing. The fondant will look nice for pics, but can easily peel off so you don't have to eat it.

Answer 4

The first birthday - your son won't know the difference or taste the difference in a cake with
egg in it. I understand the first is special so why don't you make or buy an angel food cake.
Egg whites are used, and no milk, to make the cake. The "gooey" clear thing is a clear jelly dissolved in water and "painted" on the fruit. This makes the fruit sweeter and prevents it changing color. Shiny.
Sorry no pictures. Maybe if you do a web search on angel food cake you will find one.
Good luck and Happy Birthday to the little one ...

Answer 5

EGGLESS WHITE CAKE

7 tbsp. shortening
2 1/2 c. flour
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. vanilla
1 c. sugar
5 tsp. baking powder
3/4 c. milk or orange juice

Cream butter and sugar - add flour and milk alternately. Bake at 375 degrees for 35-40 minutes in small pan.

That gooey sounds like a glaze. It's made with seedless preserves and little water and bringing it to a boil.

You put fruit and that glaze on the cake. Just arrange fruit on top of the cake, bring 1/3 cup seedless preserves and 1 tablespoon water to a boil until the preserves are melted to form glaze. Brush glaze over the fresh fruit.

I'll post a link to a picture of a tartlet topped with raspberries, and a raspberrry glaze below.

Answer 8

Its not a cake but it looks cool you can eather get ice cream cups or cones get some fruit of yours or his favorite fill with fruit and whipped cream you can get the light kind looks like fruit ice cream specialy in the cones you can substitute the whiped cream with something less dairy but then your getting into the hard part.

if you want to go with all fruit try making a fruit bowl
1: watermellon cut on the sides litle zigg zag design take both pieces and get a spoon and dig little pieces out set on side over and add the pices to eat, then cut bannans, strawberrys, and anything else thats a fruit he or you like then mix them in the water mellon that you cut in half then put the other half on top if you want you can cut a little whole add a tea light or a b-day candle and make a wish take the top off and dig in. and you can have him a little one set a side for him to eat .

but there is allways the plane yellow cake but it has sugar in it and you have to add the eggs or subtitue the eggs with mayonase but that has eggs in it but if you want to do that add whipped cream and the fruit of your choice.

Also the gooey stuff is most of the time sugar with butter mixed with the fruit with some vanilla exstrac. they mix it with the fruit so when layoring it on the cake it sticks and makes it taste good. im gonna keep looking but if your looking for not sugar and milks try going to a diabetic web page.

i hope that i helped there isn't much out there yet but i will keep looking

Answer 9

Use an Angel Food cake mix.
Usually clear gelatin is used for glazing the fruit.

Answer 10

Well, if you're looking to buy one, my mum and I LOVE millies cookies! You can get a giant cookie with personalised writing on it with different flavour icing, you can also get white chocolate, tripple chocolate, etc... If your question was for making ideas, then why not make your own cookie cake? Maybe you could write a message on it too, it's delicious! I hope this idea helped, and happy 47th birthday to your mum:D!
