Hi,
A friend of mine and I are celebrating our birthdays this weekend, because they are close together in October. I want to make a cake that both of us can eat. The difficulty is that she has celiac's disease, and needs everything gluten-free, while I of course can't have dairy due to IBS. Does anyone have any suggestions for a recipe that is not too complicated? I'm a pretty decent baker, but also don't want to go out and buy a ton of products. I do have several types of gluten-free flour (rice, corn, potato) because at one point I though I needed to go wheat-free for my symptoms. Anyway, any recipe ideas would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

If you dont want to make it from scratch, there is a health food store in Towson called health concern that has cake, brownie and frosting mixes that are both dairy and gluten free. Their fudge brownie mix is AMAZING. I made it for friends last week and they loved them and so did i:)!

Thanks Abby! I'll have to check out that store. I always forget that many natural food stores are independently owned instead of chains like Whole Foods. Just thinking about those brownies is making me sooo hungry  And it's so great to have someone in MD who has advice for specific places to go...thanks mucho again!!!

Thanks, Heather, this sounds perfect. I just have one question. Whenever I see recipes that have egg whites that you need to whip to form "stiff peaks" I tend to shy away from them because I'm not sure exactly what this means. Could you enlighten me on this? Is this a complicated technique or is it easier than it sounds? Thanks again!

I have made this cake a couple of times with great result. I just whip and whip (electrical beater is a must - at least I don't have the arms to do it by hand) and it's pretty much done when you can form a big peak that stays up after you remove the whisk. Not complicated at all.
Hope that helps.

OH MY GOODNESS!!!! I don't know if you got the same brand of gluten-free, dairy-free brownie mix as I found, but it was absolutely AMAZING. The name of the company was "The Cravings Place" and boy are they named correctly. The brownies were a huge success, and all the other people there could not believe that it was gluten and dairy free. The only problem is that there were no leftovers for me to bring home with me, hehe. Thanks so much for the tips and the name of that health food store -- I will definitely be going back there soon

Julie, I am so glad that the brownies went over well. I actually made a gingerbread from that same brand this weekend! The one that I bought was a fudge brownie and the brand is cherybrook kitchen; although im not sure if it is gluten free. I love health concern and usually go there one a week. So happy you liked it!!!!
