Where to find a vegan birthday cake in lockdown?

It will be DD's birthday later this month and she is vegan and soya and chocolate intolerant. I have been trying in vain to find a cake for her. Our local and wonderful supplier is closed and the ones I have researched on the internet all seem to have soya in them.

I know it's a bit of a long shot, but I was just wondering if you wonderful MN'ers might have any suggestions? DD has had a very difficult year, including losing her dad a few months ago - he had his terminal diagnosis on her last birthday - so I would like to try to find something special, if at all possible.

I know I should just try to make one myself, but I am a bit of a rubbish baker and don't want to disappoint her.

@SchubertSwan

Emma, you are a genius! I think I have cracked it. The other company you mentioned in the PM are also massively helpful.

Thank you and thanks to everybody else too. Maybe next time I will be brave enough to try to make one myself - I will certainly try some of those mixtures for unbirthday parties!

Fab, glad you're sorted! Smile Hope your DD has a lovely birthday.

If you do feel like making a cake, this recipe is pretty foolproof:

I know @AnotherEmma.

TBH I would rather eat any cake other than chocolate. I know, I'm weird Grin

@Ginfordinner
Yes you are very weird Grin
I'm obsessed with chocolate cake but the OP's DD can't have it sadly.

Thanks Emma and to everybody else. DD shall go to the ball and there will be cake!
