Having a 1st birthday for your child at home means a lot of work. You'll have to keep in mind that some youngsters are lactose intolerant and may not be able to eat the cake and other bread items. Therefore , you'll need to cater some dairy free foods too. Here is a simple dairy free 1st birthday cake recipes that everybody can enjoy.
What you need for the chocolate cake recipe:
- Two and three quarter (2 3/4) cups of rice flour
- One (1) cup of cocoa powder
- One tablespoon of baking powder
- 1/2 tablespoon of salt
- One and a half (1 1/2) cups of dairy and soy free shortening (you'll find this at any store)
- Two and a half (2 1/2) cups of sugar
- Four eggs
- One and a half (1 1/2) cups of almond milk or rice milk
- Quarter (1/4) cup of maple syrup or mixed fruit jam
- 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract
Method:
- Pre-heat the oven to 350F or 180C.
- Sift together the rice flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt in a bowl.
- Mix the sugar and shortening together using an electric blender for three minutes (you will get a fluffy mix at the end).
- Beat the eggs in a new bowl and whisk 'til fluffy.
- Add the eggs to the sugar-shortening mix and mix well to get a viscous mix.
- Add the vanilla extract and maple syrup to the mix, along with the almond milk.
- Add the dry ingredients to the mix and blend well using an electric blender on maximum speed. There should be no lumps in the mix.
- Pour the batter in the cake tin (greased) (if you are using a silicone mold then there is no need to grease).
- Bake in the oven for thirty-five (35) to forty (40) minutes 'til the top is firm and the cake springs back when touched.
- Remove the cake from the pan and allow it to cool at room temperature.
To prepare the dairy-free frosting you need:
- 2 cups of powdered sugar
- Half a cup of dairy free margarine
- Quarter (1/4) cup of almond milk
- 3/4 cup of cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract
Method:
- Use an electric blender to mix the margarine and sugar together.
- Add the almond milk, cocoa powder and vanilla extract and let the mixer do the job to make spreading more uniform.
To decorate the cake:
- Slice the cake in two parts horizontally.
- Mix some cocoa powder with warm water and gradually drizzle the cocoa liquid on the bottom layer and the top layer. This will keep the cake moist.
- On the bottom layer, spread about half (1/2) of the frosting.
- Place the top layer on the top and cover with the remaining frosting on the top and sides.
- Refrigerate for a few hours before serving.
