Puddings Tia Maria Gateau ( just over 2 syns a slice)

I have just made the most delicious Tia Maria Gateau. It works out to 2.2 syns a slice when cut into 8 pieces (8" tin) so can I call it 2 syns or should I call it 2.5 syns??

I think my only comment to myself for next time is to whizz it longer in my Kenwood - but it is still gorg!!! ;-)

Tell me what you think

Frylight an 8" loose bottom cake tin

Sift flour and coffee onto a large sheet of baking paper

Whisk eggs and sweetener until quadrupled in size, mousse like and a trail remains on the surface by the whisk for at least 15 secs.

Gently and slowly tip in the flour/coffee mixture whilst folding with a metal spoon until completely folded in

Pour into tin and bake for 25-35 mins or until it springs back

Turn out to cool

Very very carefully with a serrated knife, split the cake horizontally in half

Whisk up the filling ingredients and sandwich the 2 halves together

Whizz the tofu in a blender or food processor with blade attachment until smooth. Then whilst whizzing add the remaining ingredients. Mix well

Spread tofu mix over top of Gateau and serve. Refrigerate if not being served immediately.
