I recently tried the squidgy chocolate cake recipe. It looked great and the texture was lovely, however it tasted really really bland as if it was missing something. Did I do something drastically wrong or did anyone else find it the same?

Mine ws amazing just add more sweetner xx

How much more do u reckon? Recipe said 1 cup, I added just over that but I used the asda own version of splenda. Do u think the real splenda makes a difference?

I also thought about adding a bit of almond or orange essence but I am not quite sure that's the right fix.

Asda version is exactly the same as real Splenda - they're both 1% sucralose I'm loving the fact we can get cheaper sucralose sweeteners - Aldi is the best I've seen at 99p xx

Wow that is cheap! I'll try there next time. Thanks for the tip.

I guess I'll just have to try another attempt with more sweetner.

I was so chuffed when the cake came out, it looked rather tasty, but I was left feeling a bit gutted when it didn't quite taste as good as it looked.

Mine was horrid the first time i tried it, but perservered tweaking it here and there. I add cherries to the centre and turn it into a SW balck forest gateau with some squirty cream on top

Chicken with red pepper sauce and sw chips.

Sauce is just a diced onion and red pepper softened in fry light but not coloured.
then add 8 level tbs tomato ketchup (8syns?) and the same amount of water. Simmer till sauce thickens, season and I like to add a dash of malt vinegar at the end just before serving. Sauce will serve 4 so 2 syns each, it was a nice change. I know you could do it syn free with passatta, but the flavour from the ketchup adds a lovley taste for a change.

a couple of meals I have had in the past few weeks, chicken noodle stir fry and pork meatballs with s/s sauce, rice and stir fried veg.

 

[*Emsie*]

What spices etc did you use on your chicken noodle stir fry? It looks really tasty!

 

[*Emsie*]

My diet coke chicken which didn't go sticky but was still tasty and my salmon and stir fry with noodles
