I've trawled the internet but really want a recommended one as it's for my mother's 70th and I'm now panicking.

Only needs to be dairy fat free (ie eggs are fine, gluten is fine etc) just needs to be without actual butter, buttermilk etc. A teeny tiny bit would be fine (like cocoa powder can have traces and that's ok) just not lumps of butter etc


I really want to use cocoa too ... rather than dairy free chocolate.


Help please!!! Am in a total panic that I volunteered to bake her cake now :-(

300g self raising flour

300g caster sugar

4 eggs

250ml vegetable/sunflower oil

50g Cocoa

250ml whole milk or milk substitute- I use Koko milk if I'm making it dairy free

1 1/4 tsp bicarbonate of soda

1tsp vanilla

Pinch of salt


Oil and line two 9 inch round cake tins.

Oven 175 Celsius.

Beat sugar and oil together for a minute or so.

Sieve flour, cocoa and bicarb together in separate bowl.

Add eggs to oil and sugar mixture, beat in, add vanilla.

Mix in milk.

Fold in flour mixture in three lots.

Pour (it's very runny) into tins, bake 30 mins, sometimes it's a bit unpredictable- or that might be my oven- so skewer test after about 25 min.

Cool in tins at least ten minutes before turning out.

    • I don't know how it works now but my late parents had little money when they were retired (just state pension and they rented their flat) and they used to take their cat to the Blue Cross (In Victoria if I remember correctly) where treatment was free for those who could'nt afford a private vet. I sincerely hope similar is available still because for many elderly their pet is their main source of comfort and company.  
    • In a couple of places locally, I have come across this. I am fairly sure that they attempt to do the bill in their head. If you just say , “no, I think it’s x” they start again and get to an agreeable number, or find a calculator. I don’t think it’s a malicious attempt to swindle people. Just not great arithmetic.
    • There are excellent charities like the Greenwich Wildlife Network who will help if you report any concerns with local wildlife. Foxes are wonderful creatures who had been forced into our town and cities and are just doing their best to survive, we should take care of them when we can. 
    • Like I thought… prob like that for most of the day.. especially after people had walked their dogs, with friends, relatives  kids…
