Why would I want to take all the tasty stuff (butter, milk, eggs) out of a cake? I’m not a vegan, I’m not intolerant and I LOVE dairy. Well, because having Thyroid Cancer, means that prior to scans and also treatment, I have to suffer two weeks of the worst diet in the world – a low iodine diet! Iodine is a trace mineral, so it is not listed in ingredients on food items.
What contains iodine?
It would be easier to ask, what doesn’t! Nearly everything you buy in the shops, contains iodine. Iodine is not bad for you, and is a healthy part of a normal diet; which makes is virtually impossible for Thyroid Cancer patients, to find things they can eat. Last time around, I didn’t cope very well with the low iodine diet.
Food that are highest in iodine (and on my banned list when I have to do the diet) are:
Dairy
Eggs
Soya
Salt (unless you KNOW it is non-iodised salt – salt is most often iodised / sea / rock)
Leafy Vegetables & some other vegetables
Red Food Dye
Fish/Seafood or anything from the sea
Rice
Some beans (kidney beans)
Much much more!
So as this weeks Great British Bake Off challenge was to make a Dairy Free vegetable cake, I am slightly altering mine – instead of a dairy free vegetable cake, I am making a dairy free, egg free, soya free, vegan, low sodium, low iodine chocolate cake (without vegetables)! This is not only suitable for people on a low iodine diet, but also for a lot of people with food intolerances.
- 300g Dark Brown Soft Sugar
- 300g Self Raising Flour
- 50g Cocoa
- 1/2 tsp LO Salt Original (this is low iodine & low sodium)
- 60ml Olive Oil
- 1 tbsp. Vinegar
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 200ml Almond Milk (shop bought or home made)
- 140 ml Cold Water
- Rasperry or Black Cherry Jam
- 100g Icing Sugar
- 25g Cocoa
- 1 tbsp. Water
- Place the sugar, lo-salt, cocoa into a food processor bowl
- Sift half the flour in & mix on high for 5 seconds.
- Switch mixer on low and add all the wet ingredients through the funnel.
- Mix for 20 seconds.
- Add the rest of the sifted flour and mix for a further 20 seconds.
- Pour the mixture into a greased, lined cake tin.
- Bake on 175 degrees Fan Assisted for 1 hour.
- Leave on a wire rack to cool
- Once cool, halve the cake and spread raspberry jam in the middle, and sandwich back together.
- Sieve the icing sugar and cocoa
- Add the water and mix well
- Spread over the cake (once cooled) and decorate with sugared décor (optional)
- If you are making a nut free version - swap the 200ml Almond Milk for 200ml Cold Water.
- For shorter cooking times - divide the mixture between two or three tins.

These pans look a good buy http://www.debenhams.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/prod_10701_10001_331001961360_-1, we are a family of 5 and I only have 2 saucepans so would be a good purchase!!

My friend ran across this recipe and was going to make it for me (my oven doesn’t work), but we ran into some problems. I don’t know if this is a difference between ingredients available in the US or not, but self-rising flour and store-bought almond milk both usually have salt in them. I just wanted to let others to know in case they thought of doing the recipe. Making your own almond milk and self-rising flour isn’t difficult if you do want to proceed.
This is a UK recipe. There are so many low iodine recipes with US ingredients and measurements that don’t exist in the UK, I thought it was about time there was an English recipe. In the UK none of these items contain salt. And yes it is best if you can make you own almond milk – store bought tastes vile.
Dear Emma
I am very interested with your layout of your recipe box, will you share with me what software you used? I did it manually and it looks ugly and not consistent.
Thanks so much for your time and look forward to hear from you again.
Much regards,
Silvia

Thank you I too have to deal with this thyroid cancer diet and man it’s hard but we do what we can to survive. Thanks for sharing
I am looking for low-sodium dessert recipes, but unfortunately this one still has too much sodium for me because of the self-rising flour which contains both salt and baking soda. I guess there’s no such thing as a low-sodium cake. 🙁 Thank you anyway for the recipe!
Thank you for your comment. I’m afraid it is only a LOW sodium cake, and not a NO sodium cake recipe. The self-raising flour I use does not contain salt, as I was not able to consume anything containing salt whilst on radiotherapy. You should be able to find self-raising flour in the UK which doesn’t contain salt, in any supermarket. It is likely to still contain very low levels of sodium though. As this recipe is dairy free, egg free, soya free and low iodine, I couldn’t unfortunately find a way to make it sodium free. The recipe is designed for people on a Low Iodine Diet for RAI treatment. You could try using plain flour instead? It wouldn’t rise as much but may work.
Many thanks!
