    I made this recipe for my son's class. And it was wonderful. He has severe food allergies and this recipe is both egg and peanut free. I added chocolate chips to the batter. I made cupcakes instead of the cake and I baked them for 22 minutes @ 180 degrees.

    Review: madkeenfoodie

    Wonderful! My son's birthday is coming up and his mate is allergic to egg. The thought of using egg replacer put me off but this is great. I used a little less sugar and it is totally yummy. Wait till the kids see it on the counter when they get home! For the birthday I think I'll add choc chips and make cupcakes. Thank you!

    Review: KAREN HUTCHISON

    We loved this recipe! My son was recently diagnosed as having an egg allergy and we needed an egg-free birthday cake recipe. The whole family loved it and I would highly recommend this recipe.
