Vanilla Cake with Apples and Raspberries (Dairy, Egg, Gluten and Refined Sugar Free)

I made this cake for dinner party.  One of the little girls is intolerant to wheat, eggs, dairy and almonds.  I wasn't sure how the cake part was going to turn out but it turned out well and didn't last long at all.  I will definitely try the cake on its own to see if I can make it into cupcakes.  Do check out my recipes on egg replacers for guidance in making this an egg free dessert.
