One more note, this time about the "pareve" or "parve" label ...

My orthodox Jewish allergist has warned me not to trust it. The standards
for keeping Kosher are high, but are NOT sufficient to prevent all
cross-contamination. I have a very sensitive, severe allergy, so pareve
isn't enough to be sure I'm safe. Someone who's less sensitive might be OK
with it, and I see it recommended often ... but it does not actually
guarantee that there's no dairy.

Careful, though - Many of Trader Joe's chocolates have milk fat in them.

Those labeled "pareve" are more likely  to be dairy free. (That's the 
Jewish/kosher designation meaning that it's ritually prepared without 
dairy; but there's always a raging debate here as to whether 
that's  *absolutely* dairy free - please let's not repeat that debate here).

I happen to like wacky cake because it's very easy to make, and you 
can choose your own ingredients (e.g., orgainic, etc.).
