Many people are looking to improve their health by eliminating wheat, corn, and/or dairy from their diets. I have been experimenting with recipes that are free of wheat, corn, and dairy for several years. I've created "Ideal Ingredients" to share not only what I have learned, but also to share a delicious and healthy way of eating!

Special Note: If you are also avoiding eggs, you may substitute the following for 1 egg in my baked goods recipes.
1 egg = 1/3 cup applesauce OR 1/4 cup mashed banana OR 1 T ground flaxseed + 3 T water

Apple Spice Cake

They say that necessity is the mother of invention and I would agree. All of my recipes have been developed to provide for the dietary needs of my family. And, today, you are in for a treat! My Apple Spice Cake recipe was created so that I could send my daughter to a birthday party with her own yummy dessert. It is so hard on kids with dietary restrictions to be surrounded by those who can eat whatever they want, especially at parties. This Apple Spice Cake is perfect for autumn and is full of wonderful flavor. Your child won't feel left out at all when she gets her special piece of cake at the party!
