1/2 Syn Cake - Slimming World Recipe

Serves: 4
Prep: 15 mins
Cook time: 10-15 mins
Syns per serving: 1/2 for whole cake!!! (on Extra Easy)

Yes...you have read that right, half a syn for the whole cake! Ok, so it's not like a real sponge, but it does taste nice and once finished does resemble a normal roulade! You can add whichever fruit you like but raspberries and strawberries give a lovely taste and colour. 

I, again, came across this recipe at my local slimming world group. The group leader had found it on the internet and printed out some leaflets for the group to try. I have, of course, adapted the recipe to suit me and my cooking skills, so feel free to do the same!  

I have made this three times now and I have to say it's fairly simple, and foolproof. I haven't burnt it once...yet! Give it a try and see what you think.... 

Ingredients:- 

4 Eggs
1 x Tub of Quark
3 Tablespoons of Fat Free Yogurt (I use Natural or Vanilla)
1 Teaspoon of Baking Powder
1 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract / Flavouring
4 Tablespoons of Sweetener
Handful of Raspberries and Strawberries (Chop the strawberries into small pieces)

Method:-

Separate the egg whites from the yokes for all four eggs and split into two different bowls.
In the bowl with the yokes add half of the tub of quark, sweetener, vanilla essence and the baking powder and whisk until creamy.
Whisk all of the egg whites until stiff and fold in to the yokes mixture bit by bit gentle.
Line a baking tray with greaseproof paper and spray with fry light to help keep the cake from sticking.
Pour the mixture out onto the tray and pop in oven (at around 170c) for about 10-15 minutes until golden brown.
Once baked remove the paper lining from underneath the cake gentle whilst still warm (but be careful not to do it straight from the oven)
Lay on a cooling rack and allow to cool down for at least 15 minutes.
Mix the remaining quark and yogurt together and add a sprinkling of sweetener.
Spread the mixture on top of the cake ensuring a nice thick layer, go right to edges of the cake.
Layer the fruit on top of the quark mixture and gentle roll the cake up into a roulade.
Cut into pieces to share or save for later...alternatively grab a fork and stuff the lot!!! (Please note: I wouldn't recommend eating the whole lot in one go of course...:)  

Enjoy x
