1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
½tsp ground cinnamon
Pre heat the oven to Gas 4/180ºC/350ºF
Spray an 18cm (7") round cake tin with spray oil and line it with non-stick baking parchment.
Place all the ingredients for the cake into a large bowl, sifting in the flour, baking powder, soda and spice last. Beat well to a smooth batter.
Pour into the tin and bake for 30 minutes. reduce the oven temperature to Gas3/160ºC/325ºF and bake for a further 30 mins, until firm tho the touch. test with a fine skewer...it should come out clean. Leave to cool in the tin for 5 mins, then turn out, peel off the lining paper and cool on a wire rack.
ICING:
60g low fat soft cheese
1 tbsp icing sugar
finely grated rind of ½lemon
fine shreds of orange rind
Beat the cheese, icing sugar and lemon rind together. Spread over the top of the cooled cake and then decorate with the shreds of orange rind.
Notes:
Sunsweet lighter bake was a prune puree available ready done in a jar. You could use the same quantity of drained canned prunes in juice, pureed, or alternatively apple puree.
200g porridge
200g bran flakes
2 egg whites
1/2 pint milk
1 tsp cinnamon
1 heaped tsp baking powder
Splenda 2-3 tbs more if you want it sweeter
250g grated carrot i used a bag already grated from asda
80z tinned pineapple in juice
I then blended the carrots even smaller still, then i blended the pineapple small separately, i then mixed the porridge oats, the bran flakes, half a pint of milk i then left that to soak for ten minutes. Then add the pineapple and carrot and the egg whites and the splenda to your taste, the cinnamon and then mixed it all together. I then put it in a 8 inch round cake tin sprayed with fry light and put in the oven on gas mark 4 for about an hour.
I also made a topping using 150g plain elf cheese, a zest of an orange and a tablespoon of the juice of an orange and splenda again to your taste, all the topping ingredients are then just mixed together and just spread on the cake.
Personally i preferred it without the topping as it was quite zingy, and i have got a sweet tooth, but i may try it with a different topping, maybe a vanilla flavour, any suggestions would be most appreciated. She later e-mailed me to say that the topping was growing on her !!!
