Half syn cake


This is amazingly acceptable cake a la Slimming World! 

Half a syn for the whole mixture - you can either bake a cake or split the mixture into muffin cases - I got 10.  I did add a teeny smidge of jam in the middles, but there were only 1.5 syns in all the jam I used. More suggestions at the end of the recipe.

As there is no fat or flour in the mix they won't keep well, so best to freeze them.


Ingredients

4 eggs, separated

4 tablespoons sweetener

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 teaspoon vanilla essence

Method:

Whisk egg whites until stand in soft peaks, like meringue.

Add sweetener, baking powder and vanilla essence to egg yolks.  Whisk until well blended.  Add 1/3 egg whites and whisk again.

Fold remaining egg whites into egg yolk mixture with a metal spoon.

Line a baking tray with greasproof paper, sprayed with fry light.

Place mixture onto prepared tray.  Bake in oven (Gas 4) for 20 minutes.

Once cool, add filling (see below) and roll up like a swissroll, or cut into 3 strips and layer with filling.


Suggested fillings:

Fat free fromage frais, sweetened to taste with strawberries, grapes or berries. - no extra syns.
Muller light greek style yoghurt and fruit - 0.5 syns per greek style yoghurt used.
Plain quark mixed with sweetener and white chocolate options sachet and fruit - 2 syns extra.
Syns are for the whole cake - so if not adding syns in filling, whole cake is only half a syn!
