Advantages: Easy to use, cheap and milk and soya free

Disadvantages: None

When i was told both my boys had a milk and soya allergy i had to buy cake and buns that were milk and soya free. I found some but £2.50 for 5 slices of bakewell cake, I thought it was getting to much and needed to find a cheaper way to let the boys have some cake.

While walking round tescos looking at all the "ready made mixes" and 99% of them contained milk or soya, i then came across the Tesco Value Spone mix and i thought 23p it must be bad, but i thought its only 23p why not.

Got home and rather excited over a 23p pack of cake mix i got out a bowl and one egg and 75ml of water.

I decided I would make buns instead of the a cake.

Added mix to the bowl one egg and 50 mls of water mixed it all together
then added the other 25ml of water. divided in to bun case and was very surprised it filled 10 cases.
In the oven it went and 15 mins later out came 10 very nice looking buns.
left them to cool and we all had one and i have to say what a shock..

These rose very well and very light in colour also very light in texture.
Melted in the mouth.

Both boys gave the thumbs up,

I now buy 4 packs a week and make buns and even make a cake once a week.

I would be lost with out my 23p sponge mix.
Birthday cakes have been made with this mix and no one can tell its cheap cake mix.
