philiphenslowe Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 Can anyone suggest a nice egg-free cake recipe for my son's birthday? Or anywhere I can buy a ready made one.He has a 'suspected' egg allergy + we're currently waiting for the results of an allergy test so don't want to take any risks.Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SBot Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 You can buy a product called 'no-egg', which acts in the same way when you bake! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gebbjane Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 I've made this for my son's birthday as he has egg and dairy allergy, eating it tomorrow so will let you know how it tastes. Was very easy to make and my friend iced it for me.http://allrecipes.co.uk/recipe/4666/vegan-chocolate-cake.aspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theratprincess Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 http://m.wikihow.com/Replace-Eggs-in-Your-CookingThis link has some good ideas for egg substitutes in baking. Then you're not tied to a particular egg free recipe. It's good advice re matching your replacement to your recipe eg I used (cooked) apple pur?e in a rhubarb and polenta cake and banana in choc chip cookies.I tried 'no egg' branded substitute and the cake went a bit odd.

shaunag Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 Another option would be to go with a icecream or sorbet cake from oddonos? Absolutely yummy but transport might be a bit tricky for you. My lo is dairy and soya free-birthdays and parties are the trickiest I find. Hope you get a yummy solution.

VeronicaSawyer Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 This was a favourite of ours when we had to do egg and dairy free: http://southernfood.about.com/od/chocolatecakes/r/bl01018c.htm It's quite dark and chocolately, so might not be suitable for a first birthday, but older kids and grown ups love it and it was the closest to a real cake of any recipe I found. For something less dark, you can replace the egg in any recipe with 50mls stewed apple/1 small banana/50mls thick custard, whichever flavour fits the recipe best. Use SR flour and add half a teaspoon of baking powder to make up for the lack of rise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gebbjane Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 The verdict on the cake I baked was yummy couldn't tell was a vegan cake. Is pretty much the same recipie as the southern food one - so is dark and chocolatly and very light too. Was quite a small cake don't know how many people you need it for but you could easily make two 20cm round tins and use a suitable fudge style icing in the middle to make a larger sandwich cake and then ice that.

alisong Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 Have great tried and tested egg free chocolate cake- took years to find a good one. Message e if you still looking for one. Seems you got lots of options now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philiphenslowe Posted October 7, 2013 Author Share Posted October 7, 2013 Thank you so much for all the suggestions. Unfortunately we still haven't had his allergy test results so we opted for shop bought egg free cakes. If he has an allergy I'll definitely be trying these out. Thanks again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
