Quick question - dairy-free fat for baking please?

I want to bake a cake for friends, which needs to be no gluten (have doves farm flour), no soya and no dairy. Is there a fat I can get in, say, Sainsbury or Tesco, that would be suitable? I usually use Stork in cakes but that contains butterfat.

Many thanks.

I use Pure sunflower spread (Pure do a couple of others but they have soya in them) which I can get at Tescos.

Is the Stork you use in a tub? The other one (in a foil block) is dairy-free. I also use Pure sunflower spread, though can only get it at Sainsbury not my Tesco!

Sainsburys do their own dairy-free sunflower spread too, and Vitalite is dairy-free.

I am not sure about the soya though so you would have to check the labels for that, my dd is allergic to milk but not soya.

pure, or vitalite.

I use pure sunflower spread. Vegetable oil, or olive oil is nice in fruit cakes/carrot cake etc...

yes nellymoo. i use just olive or other oils 'cos i've found that i can't digest the palm oil that you get in everything. It's sooo annoying even the best organic marges have it!!

Before we had our multi-allergic DD, we tried very hard in our house to avoid palm oil for ethical reasons, but I agree it is now virtually impossible, because it is in everything!

Praps we should start a campaign against it here nellymoo!!
