I have a dear friend who's daughter can not have any dairy.
Trying to be creative, make great treats and still avoid dairy is a big challenge. I have wanted to find a recipe that I can use and adapt for this darling girl and her sisters, and I finally found it!!!
Many many thanks to A CUPPY CAKE LIFE for this recipe!
Dairy-Free Devil’s Food Cake
(Makes about 24 regular cupcakes)
2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 ½ teaspoons baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
½ cup vegetable shortening
1 ¾ cups sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
3 eggs
1 1/3 cups cold water
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line pans and set aside.
In a medium bowl, sift together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, beat shortening on high for 30 seconds. Add sugar and vanilla and beat until well combined. Add eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition. Add dry mixture and water alternately, mixing until well incorporated.
Fill liners 2/3 full and bake for 15-20 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool in pans for 3 minutes before removing cupcakes to wire rack to finish cooling.
