Certainly! Here's a recipe for an allergen-friendly cake that avoids common allergens like dairy, eggs, gluten, nuts, and soy. Keep in mind that this recipe is intended to accommodate various allergens and may result in a slightly different texture and taste compared to traditional cakes.
Allergen-Friendly Cake Recipe:
Ingredients:
- 2 ¼ cups gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 1 ½ cups unsweetened applesauce
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 cup water
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add the vegetable oil, unsweetened applesauce, vanilla extract, apple cider vinegar, and water. Stir the mixture well until the batter is smooth and no lumps remain.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Place the cake pan in the preheated oven and bake for about 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before frosting.
You can choose to frost the cake with an allergen-friendly frosting of your choice, such as a dairy-free, soy-free, and nut-free frosting made with a combination of dairy-free margarine, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and a dairy-free milk alternative.
Remember, if you have specific allergens or sensitivities, ensure that the ingredients you use are free from those allergens and suitable for your needs.
