Help with dairy free eggless cake recipe

My great nephew has a number of food allergies. I will be making a cake for his 1st birthday and was hoping someone can help me with a cake recipe and also a frosting that contains no eggs or dairy. Would appreciate any help.

I’m sorry, Goreti. I’ve never baked without eggs and dairy.

@Sandra I haven’t either so this I’ll be a new experience. The little cutie has a few allergies and is being tested for me.
@Nanna Lyn thank you so much for the link.

You’re very welcome Goreti

I’ve made many egg/diary/ gluten free cakes for my neighbour and good friends daughter Lauren.
Since your nephew isn’t gluten intolerant, you’re ok for regular ap flour. Just use your favourite cake recipe. Switch almond/rice/hemp milk for cows milk. Use aquafaba (chickpea liquid) as egg replacer. Works really well.

And believe it or not, you can also make a Swissish mbc from aquafaba too. Photo posted here with the recipe. Now recipe calls for “vegan butter”, but I’ve found from my experience, makes the icing super soft. I just do the one cup of shortening, period. Which means you may have to increase the icing sugar slightly. Of course to avoid any greasy taste in the icing, I always add lots of butter flavoured extract, some lemon too. That really helps.
My usual vegan go too is this recipe

It’s the easiest. It’s kinda like royal icing. So you can add a small amount of shortening to make a more creamy icing.
Hope this helps…❤️

Hi Goreti. I know that “Man About Cake” (check you tube) uses only vegan cake recipes because he too has allergies. He offers his recipes for free. The few times that I have made eggless cakes, I substituted apple sauce for the eggs and that worked great. You can find the exact amount to substitute by googling “egg substitutes”. Mashed bananas also work well.

I have to say, I’ve made many vegan cakes/cupcakes and apple sauce and mashed bananas don’t work as egg replacement. To replace oil/butter, yes, but not eggs. After trying many substitutions, aquafaba worked the best.
