Chocolate orange scan bran cake

This cake is moist and really chocolate-y, at 1 syn for a small slice and 2 syns for a proper slice I can't tell you how good it is.  With the seasonal golden eggs it's an extra syn a slice but much better than an Easter egg!!

Ingredients

For the cake:

5 scan bran

3 eggs beaten

1 tablespoon golden syrup

1 tablespoon cocoa powder

½ mug sweetener

Few drops almond essence (optional)

Topping:

1 tablespoon Nutella

Few drops orange essence

Method:

Soak the scan bran in boiling water until soft.  Drain off the excess and mash up to crumbs.  Add all the other ingredients and mix well.  

Pour into a microwavable container and cook on Medium for 5 minutes.  My microwave has temp options and I picked 600 which was fine, just keep checking it as you want it to be springy but don’t overcook it or it turns into a hockey puck!

Almost syn free cake with nutella orange topping

While it’s still warm mix the Nutella and orange essence and spread over the cake.

It’s supposed to make 16 slices at 1 syn a slice but I like big bits of cake and I cut it into 8 pieces for the 2 syns. 

Each slice is 2 syns

If you want to decorate for Easter mini eggs and Galaxy golden eggs are one syn each and makes this a really decadent go to when everyone else is having chocolate eggs!

Add the Galaxy eggs or mini eggs for a 3 syn Easter treat!
