the best vegan and allergy free chocolate cake ever!!!!!!

So, at every occasion and at least once a week I make this cake...................everyone loves it, even raves about and to top it off, it is so easy!!!! It is vegan, gluten, dairy, nut, egg, corn free. The only allergen food in it is soy and god help you if you are allergic to chocolate!!!!!!!

I start with Betty Crocker's gluten free chocolate cake...I use earth balance instead of butter and egg re-placer instead of eggs. Bake as the box says....350 for 36 min. I believe.

*If you can't eat soy, try Pamela's Products chocolate cake, it is also one of the best but Kline can't eat it because it is made in a facility with dairy , it is also more expensive than Betty Crocker's gluten free.

**You can subscribe and save on www.amazon.com for a lot of these products and it makes them the least expensive place that I have found them.

Let the cake cool and here comes the super easy, super yummy icing..........

Chocolate Icing!!

1/4 cup organic palm /veggie shortening or earth balance

1/3 cup coco powder...allergy friendly! read read read the labels!

2 cups of powdered sugar, puts any diabetic into a coma! ;~/

1 tsp vanilla

2-3 tbsp of water....and mix with an electric mixer...adding a small amount of water as you go to get the texture that you would like. ice cake and decorate with allergy friendly sprinkles.


Vanilla icing!

see as above but omit coco powder and you can add food coloring to your liking!

Kline and I were featured in abcnews.com for food allergies!!

I am starting this blog to hopefully help others, and ourselves , who are dealing with food allergies. I hope this will be a good support to families out there that are isolated like Kline, unable to eat out or go to other peoples houses for play dates in case he may pick up one of his allergy foods. Kline is severely allergic to eggs, dairy, and nuts and has been since birth! Hopefully, I'll be able to share what our life is like living with food allergies and have some helpful hints and recipes for others whose kiddos have food allergies.

Kline and I were featured in an abcnews.com article about kids with food allergies. And yes, it is cool that we got into the news,but the reason is so not cool!! Here is some of our story written by Katie Moisse of abcnews.com.......
