I have been asked to make a cake for a 2 yr old who has severe dairy, egg and soy alergy, this is the first recipe I have come across, is it for defiantly free from all three? if so what flour do you use, and is the vinegar normal brown or is it white?
We make "wacky cake" all the time for our kids! Yes - the recipe is egg, dairy & soy-free! We use "unbleached all purpose" flour, and whatever vinegar works for your allergy set. We often use either apple cider vinegar or white vinegar. There are lots more allergy-friendly cake recipes here: http://www.kidswithfoodallergi...friendly-recipes.php
You can use whatever brand all purpose flour they normally use. The vinegar is whatever works. I generally use cider vinegar. For milk alternative, I recommend SoDelicious coconut beverage. Use the unsweetened. If the friend has a milk alt they use for the kiddo, just use that.
Hi Kim, Just be sure to read every ingredient label of every thing you use. Be aware that some ingredients in your kitchen may be contaminated if you ever double-dipped. The safest thing to do is buy all new ingredients. If you want to make a frosting/icing for this cake, you'll need to use milk and soy free shortening or margarine. Options are Earth Balance soy-free (red packaging) or coconut oil (among a few others). You can keep it simple and just do the solid fat (safe margarine or...
It was really fun and easy to prepare the salad for photographing! The cinnamon in the dressing is an unusual choice but goes so well to bring out the sweetness in the carrots. Linda has provided so many delicious allergy-friendly recipes over the years, and it is an honor to be able to provide some color to Linda's post.
Thank you for cooking it up and taking the photos! Were you able to find the mixed dried fruit bits, or did you just use raisins? It's hard to tell from the photo. The carrot salad would still be delicious either way.
I did finally make this! But I only made the cauliflower risotto part as a side dish with grilled sausage. Bc I didn't want to drag out my food processor, I used the large side of a box grater to grate down the cauliflower. Easy peasy! Since it was a side and I wasn't putting a sauce on it, I wanted it "wetter" like a traditional risotto. So I added a cup of homemade chicken stock and let that cook down a little. I seasoned with lemon pepper. I really liked it, but the rest of the family was...

I didn't see any cross contact information listed on the Julian bakery website. Please double check to make sure of the product's safety for any of the allergies you are managing.
During the webinar, dozens of questions were submitted. The answers can be found on our new blog post: Baking Without Allergens - Your Questions Answered
Take note: Although coconut is considered a "tree nut" by the Food and Drug Administration, studies have shown that coconut is not related to "tree nut allergy". Although it is possible to be allergic to coconut, most patients with tree nut allergy will not need to avoid coconut. Please consult with your allergist for recommendations based on your needs.
I am new to this food allergy thing. My son also has EoE and has now been put on the six food elimination diet. i love to bake. to have purchased buckwheat flour, quinoa flour and tapioca flour. I want to make a flour blend that is also nutritious. I'd like to make his bread as well as muffins pancakes, and anything else a 2 year old might like. I'm not sure of the nutritionsl content of the king Arthur flour blend that you've recommended. I will definitely use that when making cakes etc,...
Dr. Meg Edison was also a guest speaker in our recent Celebrating Birthdays with Food Allergies webinar, and so if you'd like to hear more birthday-related suggestions from her, you can watch our archived video.
Thank you so much for your blog, Dr. Edison - I had no idea you were associated with KFA! My son (actually, my whole family) greatly appreciate all of your kitchen creations! Thanks for doing what you do.
If coconut is safe, there is coconut aminos. Otherwise, I've had good success using umeboshi vinegar. It doesn't have the same depth of flavor (or color - it's purple which can be an odd color in some things), but give that salty "bite" to things. Another options is balsamic vinegar plus salt. That's a little sweeter though. If you can do fish, nuc mam (Vietnamese fish sauce) is another option.
Inspiration for it came from here. Discovered that soy sour cream, coconut vanilla yogurt (2 tablespoons) and My T Fine chocolate pudding (CHECK LABEL - buy the one with no milk) will actually work! I'm going to use it for all my cake recipes from now on in fact even if creepers are not involved! http://www.foodista.com/blog/2...-minecraft-cake-ever
That is a cute idea. However, please remember anytime we offer food to our child's classmates we risk allergies. My youngest daughters is allergic to Yellow 5 (which is found in almost all applesauce brands - except the all natural). If she were to eat this snack, she would have a very severe rash for the remainder of the day. Most of us send snacks that avoid peanuts, tree nuts, eggs, milk, wheat. But, allergies come in many different forms. For classroom birthdays, I always avoid food.
Hi Bustermonkey, you make a good point. There are also children who are allergic to apples, so even the natural applesauces would be an issue. I think the thing to consider, whatever the occasion, is who is the audience, and what are the specific allergies people are dealing with. With obesity and allergies such a concern across America, I applaud using fruit as a treat, but only if it is safe for the intended audience. Non-food treats are also a great choice.
I have ones that are just dried tomatoes "Bella Sun Luc"i- Nut free sun dried tomatoes were really hard to find, no matter the form. I found that one brand, but never called to confirm if they are around nuts. there are no warnings on the package, and as it turns out, my child ended up being allergic to the tomatoes. I assume the dried one not in oil may need some oil added in to compensate, or be heated with water, I can't remember if the dried ones are dehydrated or slightly plump. HTH
