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.

Almost every recipe I know of for flourless chocolate cake (the ones based on nut flours, anyway) contain three basic ingredients: semi-sweet chocolate (which contains vanilla and sugar, but no dairy), butter, and eggs. I know of one that uses walnut oil instead of butter... but the entire structure of the cake comes from the eggs, and I don't think egg substitutes will work for this.
