I've made vegan brownies when I didn't have any eggs on hand, they were awesome! Here's the link: http://culinaryxcouture.blogspot.com/2011/05/vega…
I have a dairy-free (well, it's vegan bcz there's no meat : ) chocolate cake recipe that's always, always a hit. It's straight out of the Moosewood Restaurant New Classics cookbook– they're often vegan and very good about including modifications, so I'd recommend them for other dairy-free recipes, as well … you can always add meat back in! Hope your Mom's able to find or make lots of yummy food soon!!

It is pretty easy to make any recipe dairy free. Simply replace the milk with soy, almond or other dairy free milk. These are also lots of dairy free “butters” out there. Earth balance I think is the best. Most large grocery stores have a good selection of all things non dairy. Good luck
you don't need to look for vegan recipes per se, I substitute almond milk (unsweetened, plain) for almost everything!!
I love vegan recipes. Many of them are some of my favourites, and I'm not dairy free!
1) Soy Milk (vanilla, always)
2) Earth balance butter (and shortening is great for cupcakes!)
3) Goat cheese has no lactose, depending on what she's allergic to! Is it cow's milk? There are good goat milk yogurts, too!
4) Post Punk Kitchen is a fabulous resource. Buy one of their cookbooks (I recommend Vegan with a Vengeance. It's Phenomenal.) http://www.theppk.com/
5) THIS chocolate chip cookie recipe. It's better than any of my non-veg ones. It's also from PPK: http://www.food.com/recipe/vegan-chocolate-chip-c…
Good luck!
These look terrific and great idea for a simple glaze!
Thank you for sharing! My 3 year old is anaphylactic to eggs (and nuts), so I'm always on the lookout for a good egg-free recipe. Food Allergy Mama (cookbook and website) has nut, dairy and egg free recipes that are wonderful.
This looks amazing! It's amazing how easy it is to make something vegan that isn't. I don't know why people don't do this more often!
These have incredible texture. The chocolate flavor isn't very strong in the cake on it's own, but I will try adding a frosting or glaze like you suggested. Otherwise you don't even need a mixer, they're super simple and really the best texture cupcake I've ever had. Nicely done
Tried this just now, a little let down on texture but taste-wise not bad.
Thank you so much for this! My 2 yr old son is allergic to peanuts and milk! He used to be allergic to wheat, gluten, egg whites, and soy. Wish I had seen this sooner! Just made them! So good! He loves it!
In some countries, especially those with small numbers of animals being milked, as well as harvesting the milk from an animal, the dairy may also process the milk into butter, cheese and yogurt, for example. This is a traditional method of producing specialist milk products, especially in Europe.*..

Hi Tessa,
I am new to your site and love what I have seen so far. I am wondering if you would have a recipe for dairy free icing for a cake. I know I could use all shortening but I find it lacks something. Thanks for any help you can give me. Diane
To add more flavour could Silk coconut milk be used in replacement for water?
I’ve never tried, but I don’t see why not!
Hi Tessa! I’m curious, why does this recipe not need any baking powder? Will it affect the way they rise?
How much coco ??????
this is a go to recipe , not only for my vegan children but for everyone. It reminds me of Hostess Ho Ho’s cupcakes from the past, moist, chocolatey, easy to make. Have shared it also with people for children with egg allergies. Making some today for my non vegan visitors!
