kool thanks.have found a recepie on here 4 carrot cake but didnt like the idea of scan bran and weetabix, uum

 

[Lonestitcher]

Can I just second the request to find out how much is a 'cup' of sweetener?

Thanks!! - I really fancy trying this!!

 

[debjk]

wasn't an exact measurement just a guess just used the lid off the top and put in a full one so about a cup just as much as you like really

 

[debjk]

ok so I have a carrot and apple version in the oven now it made too much mixture to fit it all in the cake tin so it made 3 muffins too have tasted one of those as they were done much quicker apple very subtle couldnt really taste it but still sweet think maybe next time I will use a stronger apple like a bramley.
will let you know how the big cake turns out

oh and 15 syns for 1 big cake a 3 muffins!! cant be bad eh

 

[gonnabesmall]

wow,let us know how it went ,sounds lovely.any chance of some more piccies of the new version x

 

[debjk]

I didnt like it the muffins were ok but the big cake to me just wasnt nice a layer of the egg separated into a thin layer on the bottom and tasted eggy but the muffins seemed better.

Sorry threw it in the bin so didn take any piccies will try something else next week off to make a scan bran cake now my fave chocolate and almond

holland and barratt sell it if you have one close by. 5 scan bran soaked and drained 5syns 2 cracking hazelnut options 3syns (no idea why these are 1.5 each and the others 2) 3 eggs seperated whites whisked, sweetener and almond essence 7-8 mins in the microwave makes a decent size cake 8 syns in total I cut into 8 slices 1syn each and not tiny slices either

 

[gonnabesmall]

looks great - I will be trying this!

thanks to debjk and britmum - this looks brilliant and I will be making this at the weekend. We have a food trolley at work selling banana bread and I have missed out for a few weeks - but now I can make my own!

Made britmums orange and almond cake and wondered if it could be adapted with other fruits so today I made a Banana and cinnamon cake it wasnt too sweet so more like a bread with a cake texture am thinking it would be nice with sweetened quark anyhow it was huge so cut it into 9 slices at 2syns a slice.

Ingredients
56g/2oz self raising flour 10syns
6 eggs
cup of sweetener
1 tsp of baking powder 1/2 syn
2 medium bananas mashed 8 syns
1tsp of cinnamon think next time I will put 2 in wasnt enough really

preheat oven to 180

I separated 2 of the eggs and whisked the 2 egg whites in a bowl and put to one side put all the the other ingredients including the 2 egg yolks you seperated in another bowl and whisk, once nicely mixed fold in the 2 egg whites until there are no big lumps pour mixture into a sandwich tin, i used a silicon one it only just all fit in!
now I didnt time this lol i think about 40 mins after about 20 I covered the top with foil to stop it burning once out of the oven leav in the tin to cool for a bit then turn out and cut into 9 slices easier than it sounds cut into thirds then each thrid into 3 it works out to 2 syns a slice plus 1/2 syn over so I am going to count one slice at 2.5 the rest at 2 syns I then sprinkled sweetener over the top this will melt and make the top a bit sticky mmmmmm

here are some pictures

I have made this tonight, I think i needed a little more sweetner but it is yummy though, nice texture. I used a loaf tin and it cut into 10 decent size slices. Thanks for this recipe its lovely

 

[Juliewoo]

Mine is on the oven I didn't have any baking powder though, so fingers crossed it turns out ok

[Juliewoo]

it was rather nice! not very cakey, more of a quiche texture if you know what I mean.

I'll make it again.

I've had 2 slices already!!!
