Allergen free chocolate cake

I am so happy that I was able to make an allergen free vegan chocolate cake for my daughter's birthday. Everyone in the party enjoyed the cake. My daughter loves m&ms so to keep it simple I just used them for decorations. Its the same recipe I used for the cup cakes. I am quite happy with it.

Egg free, nut free, dairy free cup cakes

Today is my little ones birthday and I have to send cup cakes to school. There are kids in the school with so many allergies and when I spoke to the teacher she said, the cup cakes had to be egg, dairy and nut free. Egg free isn't a problem as we are vegetarians and don't eat eggs anyway but I couldn't find anything in the store that were also nut and dairy free. The bakery people told me that generally its not readily available and it had to be pre ordered. So I decided to make it, I dint have time to test it, I had to make them yesterday. I visited over 100 sites and wasn't very sure of any recipes until I found Sweetrosie's blog. I decided to give it a ago and it turned out really good. I hope kids enjoy them too. The only changes I made to the recipe was, I used olive oil instead of sunflower oil and used apple cider vinegar instead of lemon juice. Thanks Sweetrosie for such a wonderful recipe.

Eggless vanilla cake

You can smell the freshly baked cake from the 50 meter radius of any Bakery in Bangalore. I just love them and since we do not eat eggs, its hard to get the fluffiness that you usually find in the cakes with eggs.  I tried various versions of the eggless vanilla cake and finally found Madhuram’s recipe was close to what I would like, I made some modifications as it wasnt sweet enough.
