Could anyone please suggest a wheat-free & egg-free chocolate cake recipe?

My friend was recently diagnosed with a whole list of food allergies and I always feel guilty when eating my lunches in front of her. Also, one of her best friend's birthday is coming soon. Is there a really good recipe that you can suggest?





Note: she's allergic to egg-white, wheat, nuts and sesame seed. Those aren't all, just those commonly present in cakes.Could anyone please suggest a wheat-free %26amp; egg-free chocolate cake recipe?

Wheat free and Vegan chocolate cake


I’ve got to admit, having a good chocolate cake recipe is very important for someone who loves to bake. I’ve tried this recipe as both a cake and cupcakes; it will make about 12 cupcakes and one small cake. In addition to eating it all myself, I’ve given cupcakes to non-Vegans/allergy people and they said it was good.





Ingredients:


1.5 cups of spelt flour


1 cup sugar


1/4 cup cocoa powder


1 teaspoon baking soda


1/2 teaspoon salt


1/3 cup canola oil


1 teaspoon vanilla


1 teaspoon distilled white vinegar


3/4 cup water





Sift together all the dry ingredients, then add the wet ones. Pour into greased pan and bake at 350F for 45 minutes. (If you are making cupcakes, I’d suggest setting the timer for about 12 minutes or so but keep an eye on it because I didn’t time it when I made mine.)





The verdict: Again, yummy. I think, personally, that this cake is better with a chocolate “buttercream” frosting than with a white one. Sugar sprinkles also add a little extra crunch that went nicely with the texture





Wheat free and dairy free chocolate cake


For the cake


300g sugar


300g dairy free margarine


300g gluten free rice flour


8 tbsp cocoa powder


1 egg


1 level tsp baking soda


100ml soya milk


100g cheap 70% dark chocolate (it tends to be lighter than expensive chocolate)


Raspberry jam, for the filling





For the butter icing


100g icing sugar


50g diary free margarine


2 tsp cocoa powder





For the fruit coulis


150g frozen raspberries


50g golden caster sugar


75ml orange juice


1tbsp corn flour





To serve


Accompany with fruits, such as a handful of blackberries, raspberries, and blueberries





1. Preheat the oven to 180°C.


2. Grease two 18cm diameter sandwich cake tins.


3. Stir the sugar and margarine together in a bowl thoroughly.


4. Add the rice flour, cocoa powder, egg and baking soda. Then slowly mix in the soya milk until the consistency of the mixture is slightly runnier than a normal cake.


5. Halve the mixture and pour each half into the prepared cake tins. Bake in the oven for 15 – 20 minutes.


6. Remove the cake from the oven when cooked and leave to cool in the tins on a cooling rack (approx. 20 minutes).


7. Make up the butter cream by sifting icing sugar into a bowl and combining with 50g of margarine and 2 teaspoons of cocoa powder.


8. Once cool, remove the sponges from their tins.


9. Spread the jam onto one sponge and the butter cream onto the other then join together carefully, as they can split.


10. Melt the dark chocolate on the stove over a pan of hot water and dribble over the cake carefully. Spread the chocolate over the top of the cake and allow to set (5 – 10 mins).


11. For the coulis, puree the frozen raspberries and push the pulp through a sieve to remove the lumps.


12. Add the sugar and place over a very low heat for 5 – 10 minutes.


13. Then add the orange juice until you have the required consistency and allow the coulis to cool (at least 15 mins).





Plating up





Take 1 slice of cake with the coulis poured over the top and around the plate. Add fresh fruit to the side.

First of all, don't feel guilty eating anything in front of her. Do you think she feels guilty eating in front of you? Ridiculous.





Secondly, why should her BF's cake have to be wheat and egg free? Her BF is not allergic, SHE IS. Her BF shouldn't be punished w/ harsh dietary restrictions like that.





Finally, there are flourless choc cakes and eggless choc cakes. But a flourless one usually relies on eggs to hold it together. An eggless one relies on flour.





Get your friend a big Hershey's chocolate bar for her birthday ';cake.'; Everyone can enjoy it and she won't suffer for it.
Assuming if she is allergic to wheat, she'll be allergic to flour also, there's isn't a ';cake'; recipe, really. If she is not allergic to flour, try this one. I made it and my people loved it :


1+ 1/2 cup allpurpose flour,


2 tablespoon baking powder,


1/2 cup powdered sugar,


3 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder.


1 teaspoon vanilla,


1 teaspoon white vinegar.


5 tablespoon vegetable oil,


1 cup cold water / 1 cup cold milk.


Sift together the dry ingredients, then, make 3 holes in them and pour vanilla, vinegar, and oil in the separate holes. Mix. Then pour the water/milk, .mix until smooth. Pour the batter in a greased and lined pan, bake at 350 F preheated oven for app 25-30 min or until top springs back when lightly pressed. Decorate with your favourite frosting.


(it wouldn't rise as much as a cake with egg in it, but it won't be flat either).
