Someone else was posting about the carrot cake a few days and gave the recipe so you could do a search if you don't already have the magazine.

Have a look on the recipe section of the website as there are dessert recipes there or check out the baked cheesecake recipe on BritMum's blog.

I have a low syn chocolate Brownie recipe, you could make this then fill it or top it a white choc & raspberry options sachet mixed with 1/2 tub of quark, the filling is only 2 syns per sachet, the cake is only 2.5 syns per serving.

Low Syn Chocolate Brownies​

Cake serves 24 = 2.5 syns per piece

Ingredients:

3 eggs - separated
4 oz Splenda Brown Sugar Blend
200g Very low fat yoghurt
1 1/2 tablespoons Vegetable Oil
175g Self Raising Flour
75g Chocolate Options

Method:
Preheat oven to 190c/Fan 170c/375f/Gas 5, brush a 30 x 20cm tin with oil or line with non stick baking paper. Mix egg yolks, sugar, yoghurt & oil together, sift in the flour & options & stir until smooth.
Whisk egg whites to soft peaks, add a spoonful to the mix and stir well to loosen the mix, gently fold in the rest, pour into the tin & bake in the oven for 20 to 25 minutes or until a skewer comes out clean.

Cool for 5 minutes then turn out onto a rack to cool

On the SW website is a recipe for Spanish orange cake which looks rather nice. The SW cheesecakes aren't so bad either, although I always use extra biscuits because the base is nowhere near big enough!

If you look at the top it says 2.5 syns per brownie, based on getting 24 from the recipe ( I don't imagine they will be very big unfortunately). Brown splenda has syns in it by the way.
