Where can I buy a Lacto free birthday cake?

trojan10_om

I need to buy a birthday cake for someone who is intolerant to cows milk.

Do any of the major supermarkets sell them? I've never seen any milk free cakes in the free from isle.

I've also tried local (buckinghamshire) cake makers but they are all too busy to make one by my deadline (11th march).

Or have a go yourself:

11 oz s.r flour (or if you want a chocolate one, 8 oz of s.r flour and 3 of cocoa powder)
8 oz sugar
8 fl oz soya milk
4 fl oz sunflower oil
a dash of vinegar or pure orange juice
icing sugar and vitalite or pure margarine (both dairy free)

put dry ingredients together
mix oil and soya milk in a jug, add vinegar or orange juice (if you can get some dairy free egg replacer such as 'no egg' from a health food shop, add a spoon full of that to the liquid too)
splosh in the wet stuff
mix with spoon
pour into 2 cake tins and bake til golden (or if chocolate, just baked hehe, check with a cocktail stick into the middle if in doubt)
use the icing sugar and dairy free marg for icing the cake

Respect Organics carrot cake 1.80 from Sainsbury's or Tesco. Dairy free and utterly delicious. https://www.respectorganics.com

Tesco Value birthday cake (balloons) is dairy free, never tasted it though!

Tesco value and sainsburys basics (basics says not suitable for milk allergy sufferers but very sensitive DS is fine with it so i presume it'd be ok for lactose) are also DF, I find pure dairy free makes great buttercream if you're baking your own.

Tesco are the only ones who do one in their freefrom isle, a chocolate and a victoria sponge (not on site for me though), but again no idea what it's like as it's made on the same line as nuts, it's gluten too so don't know how 'cakey' it'll be
