Not in Minnesota I cant. As the matter of fact where cake mix maybe, maybe randomly available, unfortunately nowadays everything is randomly available, frosting I searched internet up and down and I cannot find.

@CharlieD I was just reading that Duncan Hines brand Yellow Cake Mix is indeed dairy free.

As are some of their canned frostings.

I went this morning in hope to find something. Will have to go Walmart after work. Thank you.@CharlieD I was just reading that Duncan Hines brand Yellow Cake Mix is indeed dairy free.

Thank you everybody. I went to Walmart and they did have lemon cake mix and white frosting. Lemon frosting was dairy.
Appreciate your help.

I am glad you got cake, at least!
Some day when you have lots of time to make a dairy free (and gluten free) cake this old recipe sounds really good. Here's an article and a recipe.

And here's a video from emmymade of making this cake.

sometimes you need butter but usually you can use oil like canola..

If you want to make either a plain white or lemon cake without any dairy, start with the base ingredients. You'll need all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar of your choice (white or raw), salt and vegetable oil. Add in some vegan butter substitute such as Earth Balance to enhance the flavour of your cakes without using any real butter - just check that it is also dairy free before buying it! For extra lemony zest in your lemon cakes, opt for freshly squeezed lemons instead of store bought lemon juice concentrate which often has preservatives or other added compounds.
To make both plain white and lemon cakes completely dairy free in terms of frosting too, use either soy milk whipped cream or coconut milk based icing along with some plant-based powdered sugar if desired for sweetness. If you don't have access to these ingredients however, don't worry - regular powdered sugar does not contain any sort of animal product so it will still be suitable for those avoiding all forms of dairy products from their diets! Just mix together 1 cup of shortening/butter substitute with 2-3 cups of powdered sugar until creamy and smooth then add a few drops if food colouring for colour variation if you like - voila! All done!
