If you’ve read my blog before, then you know I’m allergic to eggs. My mom found out when I was 6 months old so I’ve never been able to eat anything with eggs my entire life. If egg event gets on my hands, it turns red and itchy.
I love desserts, but normally have to make them myself. It’s rare to find a dessert prepare from the store that doesn’t have eggs.
For any birthday in my family, I ALWAYS make an eggless dessert so I can eat it too. My kids love the eggless vanilla cupcakes I make, but this is closing in as a family favorite.

Here are some kitchen gadgets and tools that I used to make this cake.
Cooling racks– These are my very favorite and the main reason is because they don’t take up much space in my cabinet.
KitchenAid hand mixer– I received this as a gift for my wedding over 17 years ago and it’s still going strong.

How many servings is this?
10-12, depending on how big you cut the pieces.
Your recipe mentions baking powder, but it’s not included in the list of ingredients. Help!
Baking powder is not listed in the ingredient list. I think you misread it.
Nope, it’s there in the directions (line 3), but not in the ingredients list. Do you mean it shouldn’t be there? Thanks!
Gotcha! I see it now. I think that was mistakenly added in the directions! I’ll make the change now. Thanks for catching that!
