Also theres a rest. called ZENITH in pittsburgh that has the absolute best vegan choc. cake I have ever had. Best cake vegan or not. It might be worth calling & ordering(check their ingredients of course) Good luckhttp://www.vegcooking.com/MealSearch.asp

This is our favorite birthday cake! I make it every year and just anytime we want cake!
You can decorate it with melted choc chips and sunspire sundrops (like M&Ms) or fruit or anything really.

Also - SPELT flour is excellent for baking - so give that a try as a replacement for any recipe! Also, in any recipe that uses eggs for "rising", you can replace each egg with 1 Teaspoon of Baking Powder. Enjoy!

MORINU Chocolate Cake

Dry Ingredients:
1-1/3 cups whole wheat pastry flour (or semolina or spelt flour)

I would also look for blogs - http://crockpot365.blogspot.com/ has some great gluten-free recipes, that are also dairy & egg free or can be made that way.

http://www.elanaspantry.com/ has some great recipes and tips. She and her son have Celiac, but she also avoids dairy, soy and other ingredients.

My daughter has the same allergies. we bought a cake mix at a health food store and then you mix that dry cake mix with a 12oz can of soda and bake as instructed on the box. for example white cake mix use a can of sprite. it taste good but the cake does not rise that much not recommended on cupcakes. hope this helps

My local Giant Eagle and Shop-N-Save sells baking mixes by Cherrybrook Kitchens that are free of the allergens you mention. They aren't in the baking aisle, but I think the organic or special food section. You can visit the company's website for more info on their products.

Hi, My nephew is on a Wheat gluten casein free diet. My sister bakes cakes and brownies from boxes sold in the organic section at Giant Eagle.

She also goes to a bakery for birthday cakes in Squirrel Hill. I don't know the name but I found this old article while trying to find the name for you.

Hope this helps. Email me for more specific questions.

Wow, that is a difficult set of allergies to deal with! Have you looked at the Cherry Brook Kitchen products? I have tried the cake mix and brownie mix that is dairy and egg free and it is good. You have to add dairy free margarine which can be a challenge to find but if you read the ingredients Fleichman's makes one. My friend's son is allergic to milk, egg and peanuts which is why I know about the products. I believe they make one that is also wheat free. Check out the web site, www.cherrybrookkitchen.com. Their products are available at some grocery stores and online. Good luck!

My son was born with a milk and soy allergy, that luckily he grew out of and is now just an intolerence.
But when he did have these allergies, I used a brand called Cherrybrook Kitchens for cakes, cookies, pancakes and brownies. they are allergen free.
when baking you can replace milk with juice.
and butter with canola oil or applesauce.

their cakes are really good and so are the frostings.

Hope this is some help

There is a great book called "Special Diets for Special Kids" written by Lisa Lewis, Phd.

It has over 150 recipes dealing with special diets. A ton of chocolate cake, chocolate pudding, chocolate pie recipes. I got it at Barnes n Nobles.
