Birthday Cake

Cakes have been the most difficult thing to find that are free from all the little ones allergies. In fact I have only ever seen one and that is often not in stock! Often they will be free from a good amount of things but they will often have at least one of the allergens in the most common being egg, soya and dairy.

Making a cake that was dairy free was easy, it was the eggs that were the challenge but I think I have achieved this rather well. This is a vanilla sponge and it tastes great, just like other cakes!

For suggestions on which dairy free butter to use see my blog post on the subject.
