My daughter has not exhibited any allergies, but, with nut and fish allergic older brother, I see no reason to rush into any potential allergens, such as wheat or eggs. I will probably introduce egg yolks and then whites to my little one in the next few weeks, but, until then, this birthday cake will have to do.
This recipe turned out even better than I had hoped. Basically, I experimented a little bit with some alternative flours, settling on a flour mix which I based on a few different sources including the Land O Lakes website and Rebecca Reilly's Gluten-Free Baking.
