VANILLA SPONGE CAKE- GLUTEN, DAIRY, NUT AND EGG FREE
Posting this cake for those who are looking for a cake that is gluten, dairy, egg and nut free. For allergies or food intolerances be sure to read all product labelling and be sure to buy flours that are suitable. This recipe uses a ready mixed gluten-free flour blend that has added gums for baking qualities. If you use a blend that does not have any added gums or gluten-free stabiliser then add in one teaspoon of xantahan or guar gum with the flour. I use ORGRAN brand flour and this is from one of their magazines. Orgran is gluten, dairy, nut, egg free and is vegan diet suitable. As stated - use a general purpose BLENDED gluten-free flour blend for this recipe---this recipe has not been developed for use with coconut flour or almond meal.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 180°C Oil and line a round cake tin. (I use 20cm/8inch pan- but smaller or larger will just vary the height of the cake).
- Mix the dry ingredients together in a large bowl. Use an egg whisk to aerate- their is no need to sift the dry ingredients.
- Using a mixing jug, beat the oil, vinegar, vanilla and water together. Mix well.
- Make a well in the flour mix and add the wet mix. Beat this together slowly and when mixed through beat with a wooden spoon for a couple of minutes.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared tin.The mixture should be the consistency of a thick batter. Cook 45-60 minutes.
- When cooked, remove the cake from the oven and allow the cake to cool in the tin for 5-10 minutes before turning out to cool.
- Decorate as desired.

EGG DAIRY NUT FREE CARROT CAKE
This is delish! Now I just need to work out how to make it gluten free and I have one wonderful anti alergy cake! This is a mixture of different egg free recipies I have tried. Although we are not allergic to diary - i find this works best with water... however - there is no stopping me topping this with a cream cheese icing! To keep it diary free I simply spread some apricot jam on the top for a glaze I often sub the carrot with zucchini and the sultana's with diced dried apricots
