Hi donna, I love this cake but...... my consultant gets a bit ratty with me when I mention this. She said when cous cous is free, it is to be eaten as part of a meal and not as an "extra" eg in a cake. I think the cake is something like 6 syns or so and you could eat the whole cake within your daily allowance, but the amount of calories consumed is a lot.
I don't mean to put a downer on this but if your consultant is anything like mine then don't mention it!!!
You can also make a lemon chick pea cake too by mashing the chick peas but she has the same response to that one!!
