Tescos Vanilla and chocolate marble cake

Tescos Chocolate and Vanilla marble cake, is milk free and rather tasty!!
Thats about all I've got to say on the matter :drool:

[PinkyPrincess]

Do you know what else it has in it?

I usually look at any processed food and say 'nope, won't be able to eat that!!'

I'm not being negative, just realistic :o(

[Copper]

I just make my own cakes - it is easier than standing in Tesco trying to find the odd cake that I can eat only to find they are usually the boring ones.

[PinkyPrincess]

I don't seem to be able to find the time! The house is a mess and there's a pile of ironing to be done, not to mention going to work full time lol. I have bought some gluten free wheat free flour, so I will have to give it a shot.

[Copper]

Ah yes I don't make cakes very often either so that helps our diet :)

[cnc]

I've no idea what else was in it I'm afraid, but I'd assume it had wheat and/ or gluten in it.
I would have checked on the wrapper, but I've eaten all the cake now!
I don't cook very often, but should be making more stuff next year when I've got an oven that isn't four floors below me!

[Fozzybear]

I'm eating one of these too, I forgot I still had half of one in a tub that I (and my parents) started yesterday. Very nice but they don't work with custard - it just turns to slop! Very tasty cake though. :D


I went to have a look at the ingredients for PinkyPrincess but the wrapper has gone out in the rubbish.

I've found that Tesco and Sainsburys are making quite a few cakes with Soya now, a lot of them aren't advertised as dairy free but I can't see any ingredients that could count as dairy in them. Am trying not to buy them all to test if I react as the diet is going badly enough as it is!

[cnc]

Broxine, if you find some that look nice and are dairy free, let me know and I'll kindly taste test them for you :)

[Broxine]

My mum is constantly buying them to try and tempt me! I'll get you a list

I'm hyperactive enough to be able to eat cake!
Todays training involved the gym this morning, a 30 minute erg this evening and a 2 hour row, I think thats enough exercise to let me eat cake :D

[PinkyPrincess]

I would quite happily live on cake if it's free from the stuff I can't have. I don't give a rat's a$$ about calories, fat or sugar these days!! It's all about eating whatever I can because I'm always hungry and find it hard to find things I can eat!

Any info on cakes gratefully received!!

I wish I was more like you! I'm currently seeing a private physio/fitness instructor (they couldn't get me on the NHS as Hyper Mobility isn't seen as serious as some other joint problems even though it can be just as crippling) and he is helping divise excercises I can do that won't make me worse. Otherwise all the other sports I enjoy just end up tearing my muscles and I have to stay in bed for ages recovering which undoes all the good work the excercise was doing! :(

I'll write a list of all the ingredients in all the cakes next time I go round mum's. I was going to do it this evening but just found out she's out tonight so it will have to be another time.

[cnc]

I have to keep exercising lots, because I become unbearable, I won't sit still at the best of times, so when I've done nothing all day, I'm like a mischevious little kid.

I have a lot of sympathy for the hyper mobility, I have hyper flexbility in a lot of my joints, but thankfully haven't got the associated pains.

[Nic]

The cake's yummy, by the way.

Sorry, can't help on the ingredients, as my husband has polished it off (must be good if dairy eaters poach it!).

I do a fair amount of exercise, at least partly in order to be able to eat cake. :)

Sainsburys also do the same cake- Found with all their other cakes.
My local sainsburys now seems to have more non-food articles than food now, which is frustrating, but they also do the only bread my brother likes....

[Nic]

Thanks - that's useful to know, as I'm off to Sainsburys tomorrow.

Though they're remodelling my local store, and its now impossible to find the Provamel soya puds anywhere, though they swear that they stock them. And the 'milk' choclate that's non-dairy has disappeared, too.:(

Yeah they re-modelled my local store, it used to be a savacentre and now theres not much in it. Their free-from section seems to have shrunk even further (and the stock isn't always there)

The cake tastes the same as the Tesco one, which is something positive!
