Bran Flake Chocolate Cake

[Watsonnicole1]

I have just made the below but using 2 options chocolate sachets instead.. It was actually very nice. When I make it next i will add another sachet i think.. Or maybe some coffee.

I used a 5" plastic tub which cut 4 really nice chunks which made them 4.75 syns each (the whole cake is 19 syns the way I made it)

I heard about this in group yesterday and was hoping the recipe would be here.

Many thanks, hopefully I can have this one night this week Have been craving a yummy dessert

Do you know if the syns are higher if you use cocoa powder instead of drinking cocoa?

Somebody made this for group this week and it was blooming lovely! So thought would see if it was on here and bump it up! #
Can't wait to make it the only thing is I might be the only one that will eat it and I would et the lot I think so might have to be careful when I do it!

I just made a similar version of this but with lower syns!

The method is the same but I used all bran and instead of 250ml water you only add 180ml and only 2tbsp of cocoa powder, I also cut the sweetner by half and it was still sweet enough. I added a couple of teaspoons of ginger because I find that helps balance the taste of the sweetner.

Just had some, it's a great substitute for cake and, if you use as your healthy b option, a quarter of this cake is only 1.2 syns
