(Also, for the dairy, I suspect coconut milk and coconut thick stuff (like butter thick) would work. For the eggs, I would be willing to try chia seeds or flax seeds soaked in water to make a binder-solution. Flour to starch ratio is 4:3. Bet any flour/starch would work, although might have to adjust the liquid levels. And, for the Lyles, I bet dates, cherries, or other fruit blended into the liquid might work as sweetener. So would honey.)
TRIAL recipe: Maybe a birthday cake.
Dry Ingredients:
4 cups Urad Flour
1 cup potato starch
1 cup tapioca starch
1 cup water chestnut starch
1 cup cacao powder (raw chocolate powder)
3 Tablespoons baking powder
Wet Ingredients
1 vanilla bean
1 cup of brewed coffee
2 jumbo eggs
2 cups water
8 ounces creme Fraiche (Vermont Butter and Cheese Creamery)
11 ounces (1 jar) Lyle's Golden syrup
1 cup Homestead Creamery 1/2 and 1/2
Directions:
Whisk the dry ingredients together until mixed completely.
BLEND on HIGH the wet ingredients until completely smooth and mixed (NO BEAN CHUNKS).
Make a "well" in the dry ingredients. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and GENTLY fold in until a lumpy batter is formed.
Pour into a WELL GREASED cake pan.
Bake at 350 until completely done in the center. Probably about 45 min to 1 hour.
Baking right now. Will let you all know how it turns out.

The Cake TURNED OUT. YAY! Not very sweet at all. But, seeing as it is the first cake I have had in over 18 months, totally Delicious. The piece is split in 1/2 and a bit of butter mixed with honey is on the top.
IT TURNED OUT!! - NOT super sweet, but nice, moist texture, slightly sweet. And First "cake" I have had in over 18 months.
