I always make the vanilla cake recipe in The New Farm Vegetarian cookbook. It's really easy too. I use half soymilk/soy yogurt. It's really moist and delicious, and I sometimes make cupcakes with the recipe, just cook for 10 minutes less. Even my husband thinks these are fantastic.

Vegan Cake
Serves 9
Almond milk and maple syrup are the keys to this delectable treat. Perfect with Vegan Cocoa Glaze. To make a double layer cake or 9x13 pan, simply double the recipe.

11/2 tsp egg replacer (such as Ener-G Egg Replacer)
1 cup almond or organic soy milk
1/2 cup pure maple syrup
1/4 cup expeller pressed canola oil
2 tsp white or apple cider vinegar
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup unbleached organic white flour
1/2 cup organic whole wheat pastry flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp sea salt
1/4 tsp baking soda

Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray and flour a 9X9 inch round or square cake pan using olive or canola oil spray. Set aside. In a large bowl whisk together the egg replacer, almond or soy milk, canola oil, vinegar, and vanilla until completely combined. In a separate bowl, mix white flour with pastry flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda. Add to liquid ingredients stirring to combine. Pour batter into prepared pan. Bake approximately 35 to 40 minutes or until done when tested with a toothpick.

Vanilla Butter Cream Frosting
Frosts one 8 or 9 inch layer cake
1 stick organic butter, softened
1 box powdered sugar
3-4 TB organic milk
2 tsp vanilla extract

Cream softened butter in a mixing bowl. Sift in the powdered sugar. Cream well. Add milk and vanilla extract. Blend completely.
For the Buttercream frosting, you could just substitute non-hydrogenated shortening, and if you wanted the buttery flavor you could use a couple Tblsp. of Earth Balance with the shortening.

Oh, here's one more cake recipe that my friend just sent me. I haven't tried it, but she says it's really delicious and very simple.

Vegan Vanilla Cake

2 c soft spelt flour
1 Tbp baking powder
1/3 c oil
2/3 c maple syrup
2 tsp vanilla
1 c vanilla Vitasoy (or whatever)

Preheat oven to 350F. Prepare a 9X13 pan (or 2- 9x9, or 8x8). In large bowl mix dry ingredient. In separate bowl mix wet ingredients. Add wet ingredient to dry and mix until combined. Pour batter into prepared pan(s), and bake for 30 minutes, or until toothpick comes out clean.

Hope these help, and Happy Birthday! to your son!

Thanks so much for the ideas. I knew I could count on you mommas for help!
My son is allergic to dairy and eggs (among other things) and he's never had cake. Whenever we have a birthday (even his own) we have cake for the others and popsicles for him (which he loves). Otherwise I make him up a special (allergen free) candy bag just for him.

Just a thought, you could ask the other mom. My son probably wouldn't eat the cake just because he's never had it before and he's super picky about trying new things.

Just some random thoughts..

Good luck! You're a sweet Mama taking into consideration the needs of your children's friends.
