Need recipe for non-dairy cupcakes/cake
« on: April 26, 2006, 21:37:42 pm »
One of the kids in Ben's pre-school class cannot have any dairy. His birthday is coming up and I'd like to bake some cupcakes or brownies to take in for the class, but all the recipes I have call for some sort of dairy ingredient. Ben's teacher said she could give the little girl something else while the other kids are eating their cupcakes, but that makes me so sad for her  :(

Does anyone have a recipe they could share? At this point I'm not looking for a particular flavor, just something this poor kid can enjoy with the rest of the class!

Thanks in advance  :)

3 c. flour
Here's one that tasted pretty good.  I made a frosting with powdered sugar, cocoa, and rice milk (I think water would work, too.)

Wacky Cake (mix and bake in the same pan)

2 c. sugar
6 T. cocoa powder
2 t. baking soda
1/2 t. salt
1/2 c. oil
2 T. vinegar
2 t. vanilla
2 c. cold water

In an ungreased 9 x 13 nonstick cake pan, sift all dry ingredients together.  Make 3 holes of graduated sizes in pile of dry ingredients.  In the largest hole, put the oil; in the medium hole, put the vinegar; in the smallest hole, put the vanilla.  Cover all with the 2 cups cold water.  Using a fork, stir well, making sure all dry ingredients are mixed well.  Bake at 350 degrees for 25 minutes.

i think that to make most recipes non dairy you can just add apple juice instead of milk? does that sound possible? also, you can definately get non dairy creamers/whips...if that was any help...
