I went back and realised I did not copy it all:
"The recipe was the one on the SW site
2 weetabix
1/2 pint of milk
1/2 pint water
113g of sultanas
113g of self-raising flour
14g of sweetner
1 tsp of mixed spice
1 egg
leave the weetabix and sultantas in took soak up all the milk and water, then add the flour, sweetner, mixedspice and egg, mix well and place in a tin and cook for 1 1/4hrs at 180.
It serves 12 and it is 3 1/2 syns per slice.

Just made this scanbran ginger cake but added a drop of rum essence. It was pretty damn good but TBH, I think I should have taken it out the microwave slightly earlier as mine was slightly dry. And....my ginger spice me thinks is way past its sell by date as it was a little overpowering.
That being said, it was still a lovely slice of cake to have with a cuppa and put me feet up. Decided to give it a go but use grated apple next time and fresh grated ginger (stupidly already had in and didn't use). This should make it sweeter if used with slightly more sweetner & still keep it moist. Gonna try the quark topping with vanilla extract & sweetner but with lemon zest in it for a gorgeous lemon flavour!
Giggling because this is one cake that the pups won't be enjoying. I usually make stuff, not like it and the fur babies get the benefit but not this time......they're sat now licking their lips in hope heehee!

The one listed as 8.5 syns is the Ginger cake which inclu8des 25g of stem ginger. Thats the crystallised sugary ginger you get in a jar which is another 3.5 syns for 25g. It's not fresh root ginger (although other people have made the same mistake and just used raw ginger and not complained
)5 Scan Bran
2 large carrots, finely grated
3 or 4 tbsp artificial sweetener (or to taste)
2 tsp ground ginger
1 tsp of ground all-spice (or to taste)
1 tsp cinnamon
25g finely chopped stem ginger
3 eggs, beaten

I saw the oat bran scan bran at class. It is just like the scan bran, the packet is just beige brown.

Oh sorry I was thinking you meant the plain oat bran ! Dur , sorry blonde moment !!
Let me know how it turns oat. I have just about got the balance right now with the ones I make & they're so lovely , I used mixed spice and it was nicer than lots of ginger which to me gave an unpleasant after taste , but each to his own !
