Holiday Gingerbread Cake Recipe Additions: gluten-free, dairy-free, egg-free

Three and a half years ago, I had to say good-bye to eggs, milk, and wheat. As time went on, I discovered and adapted recipes for pancakes, cookies, and even mini-donuts (a girl’s gotta have her carbs ‘n’ sugar comfort food, after all). But how was I to make a cake? Without eggs?

Thankfully, I came across this wonderful-smelling, delicious recipe from The Vegan 8. I followed her advice about the substitutions and made a few of my own:

• I used arrowroot for starch and did not reduce amount for gf baking.
• With the oat flour, I also used about 1/4 cup general purpose gf flour
• I used rounded measurements for the spice mix because I liked the stronger flavor
• Use oil and gf flour on the pan instead of parchment paper
• Make a double batch for double layer cake and use seedless blackberry jam for the filling (so good)
• Ice with Simple Mills Organic gluten and dairy free vanilla frosting
• Instead of frosting, sprinkle with powdered sugar.
• This cake refrigerates and freezes well
