Dairy free chocolate cake

Are there are UK supermarkets that sell a basic chocolate sponge cake that’s dairy free?! All of the supermarket ones in the free from aisles are gluten free only 😩😩 all my little girl wants is a chocolate cake for her birthday and there’s only the 3 of us!

All I can find is the huge 16-20 serving vegan cakes that are really rich dark chocolate and not aimed at a 2 year old! We’re going away tomorrow so making one myself isn’t an option now.

I saw some in Asda the other week down the cake section. They also do a colin the caterpillar mini dairy free chocolate cakes down the freeway from section

Asda or Tesco usually! X

Could you make a small cake with a dairy free butter. If you swap out normal one. Mary Berry Victoria sponge Gluten free is really nice. Then just add in coco

Lola’s do this gluten free & vegan cake, which tastes really good. I’ve bought this for my son’s birthday and we all were able to enjoy it.

Look in other shops or online.

Sainsbury's, tesco, asda, morrisons all got dairy free chocolate cakes. If not, it is a stock problem in your area. Bring it up with the store manager, maybe they need to see there is a demand first.

'Just love' has a chocolate cake. They sell it in supermarkets. Otherwise bake it using a Betty Crocker mix.

Sponge.co.uk is the best!! They do vegan or just dairy free, and they do next day delivery

How many kids do you plan to have maximum?

I’m only asking this as several years ago, back in the 1970s - 1990s, people would have several kids compared to now
I’m born in 1994 and I remember lots of people I grew up with had loads of siblings and my cousins from both my parents sides would have eight kids in them

I don’t want to go in the process of having another baby and restarting everything. The sleepless nights, screaming, baby falling ill and everything was too much for me.

In this generation, some people are sticking to one child only or having two or three kids at maximum

Rolling over

Has anyone’s babies started rolling over or showing signs that they are going too? my baby is coming up to 3 months old and isn’t really showing any signs yet except when he’s on his back, he kinda pushing his body up with his legs occasionally but I think that’s just accidental when he’s happy. My friends baby started rolling from front to back before she was 3 months old and I know we shouldn’t compare because all babies are different but it’s so hard not too as a first time mum, I’m worried that I’m doing something wrong.. is it normal not to be there yet or is he abit behind?

Baby boy 2 weeks old with no name please help 😩

Really struggling to decide on a name dor our baby, we’ve narrowed it down to a choice of four, Surname is Christoforou.

1st birthday presents

As much as I am trying to pretend it is not imminent and the thought of it makes me want to cry. What is everyone buying for their babies 1st birthdays? I could do with some ideas! So far my son mostly has books but would like to buy some toys too. Was hoping to get him a Jellycat but they seem to be sold out all the time online☹️

Elective C-section recovery

Hello I’ve requested an elective c-section as my baby is measuring on the larger side, and I’m currently waiting to receive a date from the hospital. In the meantime, I’ve been looking into the recovery process and how it might impact breastfeeding.

For those who’ve had a c-section before, how was your overall experience? How long did it take you to recover, days or weeks?

I’m hoping to exclusively breastfeed, so I do have some concerns about milk supply following a c-section. I’d really appreciate hearing about your experiences with this as well. Thank you in advance 🤍
