Looking for an allergy-friendly cake recipe

Hi there!

I'm trying to find a cake recipe for my nephew's first birthday--his mom really wants to make him one and take pictures. However, he's allergic to wheat (not gluten or other grains), milk, peanuts, and eggs. We do have egg replacer, milk replacer, and rice and arrowroot flour, but none of us know anything about cooking with them.

Any help, please? His birthday's on August 18.

But given that both kamut and spelt are closely related to wheat? As in, wheat is directly descended from them? I'd be really careful in whether or not to make that decision.

Arrowroot and xanthan gum can be--but very carefully--substituted for each other; depending upon what I've got to work with, I've used them interchangeably.
