Some of us can't have our cake and eat it too. Thanks to the many allergies out there a slice of the sweet treat is usually forbidden. However there is hope, thanks to all sorts of cakes being made. Now you can buy or bake a sugar free, gluten free, egg free, and dairy free cake.
Glutens are what hold flour together when it's being mixed That's why all batters have that wall paper paste look and sometimes consistency. You can buy mixes and plain flours that are also free of this . Usually ground brown rice or bean flour is used.Another ingredient you can do without is white cane sugar. There are plenty of natural subs out there that can do the trick too such as beet sugar or even spices.
Cakes can also be made with dairy and egg substitutes . This is to prevent any other allergies from happening as well (considering these can be the most severe). Your best bet with the milk sub is soy milk. I've read online reviews of it and the bakers seems to like it both for its' consistency , and subtle flavor. Rice milk could also be used. For eggs look on line or in the egg section of your supermarket for a decent stand in. If worse comes to worse you can go to bakeries whether in your area or on line that specialize in dairy and egg free cakes.
If you have problems or just want a more healthier treat then think about cakes that are free of glutens, sugars dairy and eggs. You'll be surprised at how good they taste. Not only that, they're also better for you.
