I'm going to try scan bran low syn chocolate cake from the SW website.

Recipe calls for Golden Syrup but I don't have any. I have maple syrup. Do you think that will do?

Hiya

I've used it for flapjacks before when it's asked for golden syrup and its try end out fine. I think maple syrup is a thinner consistancy though.

I'm sure it will be fine.

I've made it will honey when I've run out of golden syrup. It didn't taste any different and the texture of the cake was the same.

 

[MrsCadbury]

Brilliant, thanks. I'll make it tonight or tomorrow and report back.

Follow up question - will options hot chocolate do as a substitute for cocoa powder?

Yeh I am sure it will be fine.

11g is 2 syns I think. But a tbsp of cocoa powder is only 1 syn. So not sure how iit will change the syn value of the cake.

Thank you so much. I'm a total dunce when it comes to cooking and baking.

Made this with maple syrup instead of golden syrup, options instead of Coacoa and think I may have used the wrong type if Scan Bran. I only have oat bran in the house.

It's not indelible, but its not great. Had cake-ish texture and chocolate taste. I'll still eat it
