How To Make A Birthday Cake Without Using Food Allergens
It would be hard for someone without food allergies to imagine what it would be like to celebrate a happy event without cake. Cake has become the icon for birthdays, in which cakes of all flavors and sizes are enjoyed. Having a food allergy won’t prevent you from having a good time, so long as you know the right recipe.
You could take the easy route at this point and buy an allergen free cake mix, or you could make it yourself. It’s more rewarding to make the mix yourself, but time doesn’t always permit such luxury. Ingredients you will need would be potato starch, xanthan gum, sugar and salt, canola oil, and others. The majority of the list will be ingredients you should already have, and if not, then your grocer should stock them.
Once you get past the mixing of the ingredients, you will be baking a cake just like you usually would. The oven should be preset at 350 degrees for when you are ready. Once the oven is heated up, and the ingredients are all combined and in a mixing pan, you can finally put the cake in. You can try new tastes by adding different flavors to the batter at this stage.
The baking time is small- it will only take around half an hour for the cake to be fully cooked. You will start to notice the cake is done when it has risen to a moderate height and seems to be browning slightly. You can check the consistency of the cake by using your finger to slightly poke the surface of the cake. If the cake slightly bounces back, odds are it is either near done or is completed.
The icing for the cake can be made with non-dairy whipping cream and vanilla flavoring. You can, at this point, buy frosting that claims to be free of allergens. You can easily make a vanilla frosting yourself but exotic flavors will be harder to achieve. Adding a puree to the mix or using a light flavoring extract and food coloring is possible if you want extra flavor.
Allergen free cake can taste every bit as delightful as your average birthday cake. Consider getting crafty in how you create the cake, decorate it, and present it to the lucky person who received it. Allergen free birthday cakes will take time in learning to make, so don’t give up if the first few aren’t up to your expectations in birthday cakes.
In Conclusion
Allergies don’t have to hold anyone back from having a good time and enjoying cake. Take the recipe for allergen free cake and use it at your next celebration to see if anyone notices. If they don’t, you did a great job at making a cake that is inexpensive and tasty!
