This is a cake that was originally for people with food allergies, I don't have any of those. I make it because it's delicious!

SERVES 8 -10 , 1 cake (change servings and units)

Ingredients

3 cups cake flour
1 3/4 cups sugar
1 1/4 cups water
1/2 cup shortening
3 tablespoons water
3 tablespoons oil
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Directions

1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour two cake pans (I usually use 9" round). Mix together 3 T. water, 3 T. oil, 2 teaspoons baking powder. In a large bowl, combine all ingredients. Using an electric mixer, beat until well mixed, approximately 4 minutes. Pour batter into cake pans. Bake 40 to 45 minutes, or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool in pans 10 minutes before removing to wire racks.
2
Frost when completely cooled.

Note: Baking powder is intentionally listed twice in this recipe. The combination of 3 T. water, 3 T. oil, 2 teaspoons baking powder; mixed together is the substitution for 2 eggs.

This cake was great! I made it for my daughter's first birthday ( I didn't want to find out on her birthday that she was allergic to egg whites....) It was such a huge hit! Yes, it is a bit dense, so don't expect a "box cake" taste, but it is otherwise delicious!

dry and crumbly, tastes more like cornbread than white cake! Very disappointing.

Baked this for my niece who has many food allergies. She LOVED it! Followed directions except for the shortening. I subbed 1/2 cup applesauce since shortening has soy in it. I didn't have cake flour so I used 3 cups all purpose minus 6 tablespoons. Added 6 tablespoons of cornstarch to flour to make it fluffy (found on a substitute website). Perfect recipe for her! Thank you so much for posting this! Used chocolate icing Chocolate Icing with this.
