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.

    • Looking at the prices - !!!!  my cut and blow dry usually costs me less than £25  with lowlights around £60.  Adam in Forest Hill is a qualified hair dresser with many years experience.

    • Like most children they go through food fads!  -the boy was into wraps and satay chicken before Christmas, but abandoned the wraps  over Christmas. Likes Chilli con carne providing there is minimal sauce.. The girl will eat a mild curry, but not cheese, milk or yoghurt. Both will eat pizza, shepherds' pie. roast dinners, sometimes burgers, rarely chips. Their mother batch cooks meals to put in freezer as the nearest supermarket (Asda) is 2- 3 miles down the road and not on a bus route - so they rarely have takeaways/ready meals or eat out.  They both eat fruit and veg daily and there is never a problem getting to eat these. Agree that The Plough can be hit and miss - a friend asked them to cater for a post funeral buffet and the food was terrible and was in short supply with some of the guests going hungry.  She made a complaint and asked for a refund - and after a wrangle got it.
