The Perfect Cake Recipe For Those Who Have to Stay Away From Dairy Products

There are a lot of people out there who absolutely love dairy products or more specifically who love cakes but cannot eat them because of cholesterol problems. Such people have been advised by their doctors to stay away from eggs and milk especially. Now eggs are a crucial part of the cake; an ingredient that holds the cake together. Milk is another important ingredient but cake recipes have been developed over time to cater to the needs of those people who cannot eat products with milk or eggs in them. This is one such cake recipe that will surely be a huge hit with all those people who are under restrictions.

The ingredients used in the cake recipe to make six servings are:

One and a half cup of sifted unbleached all-purpose flourTwo teaspoons of baking powderHalf a teaspoon of baking sodaQuarter a teaspoon of saltThree quarters of a cup of white sugarEgg replacer - three tablespoons (dry form)Four tablespoons of waterSour cream - one cupHalf a teaspoon of vanilla extractQuarter cup of fresh blueberriesQuarter cup of chopped walnuts (this addition is up to you)Five tablespoons of white sugarTwo tablespoons of soy margarineHalf a teaspoon of ground cinnamonThe procedure to follow for this type of cake recipe is:An oven is heated to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Accordingly a 9 * 9 inch baking pan is greased for use.

Take a large mixing bowl. At first in this cake recipe, you need to resift the flour and the baking powder, baking soda, salt and sugar. In another bowl, you need to take the dry egg replacer and add to it some water which should approximately be about an egg's quantity. Once the egg replacer mixture forms, vanilla and sour cream are mixed in. This forms the egg mixture. Once you add the egg mixture to the flour mixture, beat it thoroughly. Next the batter is spread in uniform layers in the baking pan. If you want, at this point, you can add blueberries and walnuts to this mixture. Slightly stir this to ensure that these additional items stay in the top layer alone.

Use another bowl, in order to prepare the topping you need to add to the cake. It will require about five tablespoons of sugar, margarine and cinnamon. The mixture is mixed with a fork until it looks like a cornmeal which means it should not look smooth. The topping is then sprinkled over the batter in any way that you like.

The cake is then baked in an oven that has been preheated for about twenty to twenty-five minutes. Another way to ensure that the cake has been thoroughly cooked is to insert a toothpick in the batter. When and if it is properly heated, the toothpick will come out of the crown of the batter on its own. Before you serve the cake, it is advisable that you cool the cake a little.
