My favourite cake is very much out of bounds while trying to lose weight, so I thought I’d try a little experiment, by combining the ever-so-succesful oat pancake recipe, the half-syn roulade recipe and a traditional carrot cake recipe.<\/p>\n

* I made two cakes, and we did eat a whole one each, but half a cake would be enough for one person really, we were just being greedy.<\/p>\n

You could, of course, omit the sultanas and make the cake almost syn free, as there is only \u00bc syn in the baking powder. I thought the sultanas were worth the syns though.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u00a0Ingredients<\/b><\/div>\n
\n
\n
    \n
  • 70g porridge oats<\/li>\n
  • 1 tub M\u00fcllerlight mandarin yogurt<\/li>\n
  • 2 small carrots, finely grated<\/li>\n
  • \u00bd cup sweetener or to taste<\/li>\n
  • 1 tsp cinnamon<\/li>\n
  • 1 tsp ground ginger<\/li>\n
  • \u00bc tsp ground cloves<\/li>\n
  • 1 tsp ground nutmeg<\/li>\n
  • 20g sultanas (total 3 syns)<\/li>\n
  • 2 eggs, separated<\/li>\n
  • \u00bd tsp baking powder (total \u00bc syns)<\/li>\n
  • Icing (optional)<\/b><\/li>\n
  • 2 tbsp quark<\/li>\n
  • 2 tbsp sweetener<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
    \u00a0<\/div>\n
    Instructions<\/b><\/div>\n
    <\/div>\n
    \n
    Start the day before you want to eat the cake. Soak the oats in the yogurt with 1 tbsp water, the spices and sweetener overnight. In a separate small bowl, soak the sultanas in just enough water to cover them.<\/div>\n
    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n
    \n
    The next day, whisk the egg whites until soft peaks form. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks with the baking powder. I find it is best at this stage to taste the oat mixture and adjust the spices or sweetener if necessary. Mix together the oats, grated carrots and sultanas with the egg yolks and stir thoroughly. Carefully fold in the egg whites and pour into two greased 4-inch cake tins. Bake at 180\u00b0C for 10-15 minutes until a skewer comes out clean and the top feels spongy. Mine took a bout 17 minutes in total.<\/div>\n
    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n
    \n
    Mix together the quark and sweetener for the icing if using, and spread across the cake.<\/div>\n
    <\/div>\n
    Enjoy a guilt free cake with your morning coffee!<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
