Help! I need a dairy-free, egg-free, nut-free cake!

Yeah I know it's a tall order

But come on there has to be a strict vegetarian here who can help me out!

Have you thought about making a carrot cake? It's one of my favourites!

Here are a few vegan suggestions.

PS. The frosting is great!

A friend of mine made one once.  She got the recipe off the internet.  From what I recall, it had maple syrup and cinnamon in it.  I think that it used applesauce (I guess to give it moisture since it had no eggs).  I know this is no help.. but maybe an internet search would pull up a similar recipe.  It was quite delicious.

Suggestion: whatever cake you want to make, use coconut oil and coconut milk in place of the eggs and milk and don't use nuts. There you have an all-the-things-you-don't-want cake. Coconut makes everything taste great too.

EDIT LOL! I'm sorry coconuts may actually be nuts! Scratch that!

Not really-- my oldest kid has a bunch of food allergies.  I was hoping someone had a recipe they've used successfully; I would hate to use a bunch of ingredients just to have them be wasted because the cake tasted terrible.

CM, coconuts are not nuts!  But unfortunately, everyone I'm  making a cake for (except me) hates coconut

Hey Erin, that Applesauce Spice Cake that Evey linked to looks very much like the cake my friend made that turned out delicious.  I bet substituting the cocoa powder for the ginger would be really tasty too.
