This cake is for those of you who have allergies. When my kids were small they developed an allergy against all dairy products, and then gradually outgrew them.

It was my mom's birthday who is medicated for high cholesterol and my sister who has recently determined she is lactose intolerant was joining us for dinner. Hmmm...cholesterol-free low-fat dairy-free cake...sounds...icky. However I made this cake. It took an incredibly short amount of time to prepare and I had most of the ingredients in my kitchen (and others are inexpensive and easy to find). I put it on a wicker "plate" and decorated it with flowers and it looked like a little country birthday cake. IT WAS A HIT! Everyone in my family had multiple servings and wanted the recipe.

This cake was delicious. I am glad to see a recipe for those with allergies that actually tastes GOOD! This was the first cake I ever made and It turned out looking great tasted great and smelled great too. The batter was yummy. I baked this cake for 55 minutes and it was slightly dry. Next time I will try 50 minutes and it should be perfect! This recipe was great but I would not really call it a cake. To me it was more like a dessert bread. It was baked in a loaf pan and it seemed like a sweet bread instead of a cake. Maybe next time I could double the ingredients and put it in a round cake pan to seem more like an actual cake.
