Dairy free recipes

post #1 of 10
Thread Starter 

Hi, I have just baked a gorgeous chocolate chestnut cake that is gluten and dairy free.  Just wondered if anyone else has any really good gluten and/or dairy free recipes?

We developed some excellent GF/DF cake and frosting recipes over the course of several months of R&D.

All I have is that I subbed Silk Almond milk for the real milk in my yellow cupcakes and they were excellent.  I only did it because we were low on milk and it really surprised me.  I think they are more tender with the almond milk.

The Chocolate Depression cake on here is dairy free and I always find good.

Carrot cake (without the frosting) is usually dairy free too and the fatless sponge used in swiss rolls can easily be used as a "regular cake" with jam or whatever as filling.

 

I have never made this cake but a friend has and said it always turned out nice:

Can you share the chestnut chocolate cake recipe?

All my recipes are dairy-free and many of them are eggless as well. This weekend I'm going to experiment with some gluten-free recipes, because I'm curious. Last night I sent my hubby to a few cupcake shops to buy their gluten-free offering so I can taste test them to see what they are like. Much to my surprise they were pleasant, more spongy than their other offerings, a bit drier, but I like spongy cake. I expected grittiness and chewiness which is what people often complained to me about with gluten-free. 

 

My favorite dairy-free recipe, which just so happens to be eggless is the Wacky chocolate cake, I think it's a depression era cake. http://allrecipes.com/recipe/wacky-cake-viii/detail.aspx?event8=1&prop24=SR_Title&e11=wacky%20cake&e8=Quick%20Search&event10=1&e13=A%3aSearch%20Results-List%28control%29&e7=Home%20Page

Gritty mouth feel is usually caused by potato starch, which is often used in GF mixes. Tapioca starch is a better alternative.

I've made a regular butter cake recipe using vegan butter instead and it turned out pretty good!
