Probably not in the plastic Chinese takeaway tub...
I don't get the syns scoring system..
At 31 cals per "slice", wouldn't one scan bran be 1.5 syns if not used as a HeB?
l0v3child said:Oh my. Ive just made the curly wurly cake........AMAZING!!! Its like real fecking cake!! Its brilliant! Totally reccommend!
I used a chinese container tub, it was just right, and the cake came out of it fine, just popped out I used splashes of boiling water until scan bran was soft, but didnt drown it. I also didnt want to destroy my food processor, lol, so skipped that stage, it really dosnt need it anyway because youre mushing it up with the water. Microwaved it for 6 minutes and it came out perfect. Woo!
Hi StarGar1... My oven is fan assisted and I originally had it set at 200, but the top seemed to be getting crispy after about 15 minutes so I turned the oven down to 180. It only took another 5 minutes after that.
Just for the record, I baked it in a Victoria sandwich tin and if anyone has any good tips to stop these cakes sticking to the greaseproof paper I sure would appreciate it...
Can i ask for these recipes are you using the scan bran oat or the bran one? Or does it matter which
Finely perfected my carrot cake! third attempt but worth it........
Stolen from our C who made them for the taster we had the other week...
soft scan-bran biscuits
5 scan bran (5) or HeB
28g sultanas/raisins (3.5)
2 tbsp golden syrup (4)
1-2 eggs.
put scan bran in a bowl and soften with boiling water,drain excess water off and then blitz with a hand blender to make the scan bran very fine.
Add the eggs, fruit and golden syrup and mix well,...not too wet and not too dry.
Set the oven to gas mark 4 (180c) and put in a flat tray, when the tray is hot...remove from the oven and grease with fry light
Pour the scan bran mix onto the hot tray in 3-4 blobs leaving enough room for the mix to spread a little.
Put the tray back into the oven and cook for approx' 30 minutes or so,
Remove from the oven and leave to cool, simple.
Instead of using raisins try using chocolate bits (syned) they're great.
I have invented a new scan bran cake! (unless someone else has put this on here and I haven't seen it!) Don't groan - it's true! very easy to make and SYN FREE. Oh and it's deeeeeeeeeeee-lish (for scanbran)! Break up 5 scanbran into microwaveable bowl, make about two-thirds of a mug of douwe egberts caramel coffee (well well sweetened, depending on taste), pour over the scanbran and leave to soak it all up. Then add a beaten egg, stir well and zap in micro for about 7 minutes. I ate it with a yogurt, although i think forest fruits or raspberries would have been nicer. I want to try it again with the hazelnut coffee and spread some nutella/quark mix in the middle........
