Dairy-Free Birthday Cakes

This basic yellow cake is bright and beautiful between layers of whatever dairy-free frosting suits the birthday guy or gal's palette. Although this recipe contains eggs, feel free to substitue 1/3 cup Egg Replacer combined with 1/3 cup hot water for a vegan variation.

A cake that has carrots in it must be healthy, right? Well, this dairy-free carrot cake, like most carrot cakes, is still incredibly rich, but, prepared with heart-healthy canola oil, egg whites and ground walnuts, it is significantly lower in cholesterol and saturated fats than traditional carrot cake recipes that contain loads of butter and egg yolks. Combined with this easy-to-make Dairy-Free Cream Cheese Frosting, no one will know that this cake is lactose-free!

Dairy-free and egg-free, this Vegan Devils Food Cake is a sinlessly rich and decadent delight that you can feel good about! Layered with a homemade chocolate mousse and topped with vegan ganache, this is three times the chocolatey celebration!

Bright and fun, this Dairy-Free Lemon Cake just screams "Surprise!" (Prepared with a combination of olive oil and dairy-free soy margarine, it's healthier, too!)

This Rich Chocolate Cake Recipe is dairy-free and soy-free, which makes it perfect for kids' parties where there are likely to be multiple allergies present. (This recipe does use eggs, however, so for egg-free or vegan birthdays, simply use 1/3 cup Egg Replacer whipped with 1/3 cup warm water to stand in for the eggs.)Layered with the dairy-free frosting of your choice, this chocolate indulgence takes the allergy-free cake!

Some of us like it light and simple. For lactose-free birthdays for light and simple tastes, there is no better cake choice than this Dairy-Free White Cake. Prepared with 8 egg whites and cake flour, this cake is very light but still moist, and it is the perfect compliment to a rich dairy-free frosting like this Dairy-Free Buttercream Frosting.
