I have been asked to make a birthday cake for twin boys that are not allowed to have milk - any suggestions on recipes????

A lot of pound cakes don't have milk in them. Also, you might be able to substitute soy milk in the recipe if they can have soy. Most cake mixes call for water and not milk.

I also think you'd be able to substitute soy milk or a lactose-free milk.

Hi, hope this help you!!
