My daughter's friend has the same allergies: try this recipe -
WACKY CAKE
RECIPE ONE (makes one 8x8-inch cake) 1 1/2 cups flour 1 tsp baking soda 1/2 tsp salt 1 cup sugar 3 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder 1 tsp vanilla 1 tsp vinegar 5 tbsp oil 1 cup water
RECIPE TWO (makes one 11x7-inch cake) 2 cups flour 1 2/3 cups sugar 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder 1 1/2 tsp baking soda Pinch salt 1 1/3 cups water 1/2 cup oil 4 tsp vinegar 2 tsp vanilla
RECIPE THREE (makes one 13x9-inch cake) 3 cups flour 2 tsp baking soda 1 tsp salt 2 cups sugar 6 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder 2 tsp vanilla 2 tbsp vinegar 1/2 cup oil 2 cups water*
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour pan(s) [I line the bottom with paper].
In a large mixing bowl, mix flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt.
Mix water*, oil, vinegar, and vanilla in a bowl or jug. Pour over the dry ingredients, and stir until moistened. BATTER WILL BE THIN.
BAKING TIMES:
RECIPE ONE: Pour into 8x8-inch pan. Bake at 350 degrees F oven until it springs back when touched lightly. Stand 10 minutes before removing to cooling rack.
RECIPE TWO: 7x11x2-inch baking pan, Bake at 350 degrees F oven until it springs back when touched lightly. Stand 10 minutes before removing to cooling rack.
RECIPE THREE: 9x13-inch cake pan for 35 minutes at 350 degrees F until it springs back when touched lightly. Stand 10 minutes before removing to cooling rack.
The cake may be fragile when first baked. I use the smaller recipe and the smaller pans for easier handling.
*To boost the chocolate flavor, 1-2 teaspoon of coffee powder can be dissolved in the water before mixing into the batter.
