Recipe for Explosive Yellow Cake
Great for all intolerant dictators!
INGREDIENTS:
1 1/2 cups sweet white rice flour
3/4 cup tapioca flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
3 teaspoons corn-free baking powder
1 teaspoon xanthan gum
4 eggs
1 1/4 cups white sugar
2/3 cup regular mayonnaise (not light)
1 cup rice milk
2 teaspoons lemon juice (vanilla extract will give a rich taste)
DIRECTIONS:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and rice flour two 8 or 9 inch round cake pans.
Mix the flours, salt, baking soda, baking powder and xanthan gum together and set aside.
Mix the eggs, sugar, and mayonnaise until fluffy. Add the flour mixture, milk and lemon (or vanilla) and mix well. Spread batter into the prepared pans.
Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 25 minutes. Cakes are done when they spring back when lightly touched or when a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Let cool completely.
Use your favorite tolerant non-dairy whipping cream between the layers. Top with frosting, ice cream, or sprinkle strawberries or drizzle other favorite toppings.
Intolerant=allergic to gluten, lactose, and casein
Note: If you don’t have zanthan gum laying around your kitchen and don’t have the intolerant person living with you, ask if you can borrow a teaspoon from them, instead. Zanthan gum is pricey!

Is this a real recipe? I've never heard of mayonnaise in a cake before... Has anyone tried making this - what does it taste like?
Yes, this is a real recipe. It is a modified version found on allrecipes.com.
This recipe is great for people who are allergic to certain foods, especially gluten. Gluten is a protein substance found primarily in wheat flour, along with other food foundations, that helps the flour to bind itself together. There is something about the gluten protein that some people have a problem digesting. All the foreign sounding ingredients, like zanthan gum, are to help the ingredients to bind together, however not as smoothly as gluten.
Most gluten-free recipes can have a gritty texture and are much drier than what most people are used to with the gluten counterparts. Thus, adding gluten-free ingredients like mayonnaise, even though it doesn't seem an appropriate ingredient for a sweet recipe, will help to put moisture back into the food and give it a smoother texture.
If you know of a someone who can't handle gluten, this is a great cake recipe to make for them.
You can also modify it by adding flavors to make a chocolate (use cocoa powder and extra sugar), strawberry (add flavored gelatin), or add canned fruit to the batter and give it more texture and taste.
