Ingredients:

• 1/2 gallon whole milk (can use lowfat or skim milk)

Cool just enough not to bite the finger to touch, (about 120°F).

Pour warm milk in a glass or pyrex bowl and add the Mahdzoon starter (or store bought"live culture" plain yogurt).

Mix well by stirring the starter in, and cover.

Completely cover the bowl with towels top and bottom to maintain an even temperature.

Birth day cake - Snake

Total Time: 1 hours 20 mins

Prep Time: 1 hours

Cook Time: 20 mins

INGREDIENTS:

• 1 1/2 cups brown rice flour (or any mixture of brown rice, oat, and millet)
• 3/4 cup tapioca flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 3 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon guar gum
• 3 tablespoons chia meal or flax meal (optional, but adds a bit of nutrition)
• 4 eggs
• 1 1/4 cups preferred sugar
• 2/3 cup allowed mayonnaise
• 1 cup non dairy milk of choice
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Frosting:

• 1/4 cup Earth Balance Margarine or butter
• 1/4 cup Spectrum Shortening
• 2 cups corn-free powdered sugar
• 2 tablespoon honey (optional)
• 2-3 tablespoons non-dairy milk to thin to desired consistency
• 2 teaspoons vanilla

DIRECTIONS:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Whisk the dry ingredients together though the chia meal, set aside.  In a mixer, beat the eggs, sugar, and mayo.  When well mixed, add in the non dairy milk and vanilla.  Pour the dry ingredients in and beat well.  Pour into prepared pans.  Bake: a bundt pan takes about 45 minutes, 9″ circles take about 30.  When a knife inserted in the center comes out clean, it is done.  Cool for about 10 minutes before inverting on a cooling rack.  Cool completely before frosting (I like to freeze the cake to make it easier to frost).

For the frosting: beat the butter and shortening, blending well.  Beat in the remaining ingredients, scraping the sides down as necessary.  Beat on high for 5-7 minutes to get extra fluffy frosting.

Assembling  the snake cake:

Bake your cake in a bunt pan, cutting in half

Slide the two pieces in opposite directions

Push together to form a snake

Frost with desired frosting…notice…no smooth frosting…

Using a muffin cut in half, create the mouth, bottom first

This piece was a bit thick, so cut it down.  Use toothpicks to support the mouth open a bit

Thats it. :]
