  This recipe also works non-dairy free. Just switch dairy free spread for normal butter or margarine.

  Keith re: your posting on 15th October 2009. Nesquick is milk free! the recipe states using a 'Milk free chocolate powder' and bracketed Nesquick as an option. You could have simply checked the ingredients list on a tub of Nesquick to confirm this.

  Don't pre-heat the oven to 220C. I cooked my cake for 20mins and they came out burnt. I also recommend putting half a teaspoon of baking powder in there as my cakes didn't rise as much as I hoped. Also instead of using the Nesquick milk free powder, I used Cadbury's cocoa powder, which is milk free.

  I,d like to know the answer to the last question, too, how much icing sugar and also chocolate powder for the icing? Also is it OK to use good quality cocoa powder instead? Thanks

  As far as I'm aware you need to use double the amount of icing sugar when making non dairy buttercream as marg will split otherwise, so I would think that a pack of icing sugar means 500g, as you usually need about 250g of icing sugar to 125g of butter. I hope that this helps
