One of the guys at our class made the scan bran cake and brought it in for a taster. I've always wrinkled my nose up at anything that contains scan bran! But, I tried it and it was actually very nice. It was very 'cakey' and although I wouldn't eat a lot of it, it was palatable.
I don't have the actual scan bran cake but this is a chocolate scan bran cake. I would assume for the scan bran cake you'd leave out the cocoa, although I'm sure the scan bran cake has weetabix in it.
