Hi! If you do a search over in the recipe sub-forum there is one for lemon cous cous cake. Just be aware that although it may say it is syn free SW now say you should syn the cous cous if using it in this way so it does work out fairly high. Perhaps better just to have the real thing after all thats what our syns are there for :)
