Squidgy Chocolate Cake

[Kankles]

you would just need to add the additional syns to the current syn value depending on how much sugar you use.

Sugar is approx 1 syn per level teaspoon.

Just checked your website and saw the updated recipe, thanks britmum x

just made this for taster evening tomorrow yum!! (if i dont eat it before then)lol

Right, mine is in the oven right now! Im a bit dubious after the chocolate tofu mousse fiasco but everyone seemed to be raving about it so thought i would give it a try.......fingers crossed.....

Made this today - the recipe works well, thank you britmum!

Mine rose nicely and the cake tastes a bit like a really light chocolately sponge cake. I followed the recipe exactly, and didn't find it too sweet - I think next time I would add a couple of teaspoons more real sugar, actually! I had it with low-fat vanilla ice-cream and berries - it made a nice pudding for relatively low syns

I made this tonight and OMG it was delicious, got in a bit of a mess though as eggs and cocoa went to thick so ended up trying to whisk it and losing lots on the mixer !?!?!

I only made 1/2 the mixture and had low fat coco powder so only worked out at 3.5 syns for whole cake.
I had it with quark/yog sweetner mixture and strawberries ( and a little slither with a cuppa )

I might try this as a roulade - will let you know how I get on, loving the blackforest idea too.

Do you think if you mixed a little yogurt in the mix it would make it moister?

 

[RoobyC]

I was thinking that - maybe a little quark

 

[Deathworm]

Thanks Leah! It worked this time!!!!

 

[Mrs E-H]

I made this last night and it was horrible I dont know what I did wrong it was really bitter so it may have been the sweetner I used in it but even my 15 year old dustbin Son wouldnt eat it :-(

I made this again a couple of times this week

first time added chopped cherries and a little quark - very nice

today added 1/2 a grated beetroot and I think it is much moister ?!!?
(only made half a portion with 3 eggs )

Hi really interested in making this for our taster evening next week, what brand cocoa powder did you all use, do you think options would work?

 

[BritMumInCanada]

Options won't work, you do need a good cocoa powder and not drinking chocolate or similar.

I use Fry's cocoa powder, not sure if you can get that in the Uk

 

[who_la_hoop]

I used 'Food Thoughts' cocoa powder - it was on offer at Sainsbury's.
