Chocolate cake - 1 syn per slice or 7.5 for the whole cake!

As I sit patiently waiting for X Factor, I feel I need to share this new slimming world revelation. Chocolate cake with white chocolate frosting and rasberries - less than 8 syns for the ENTIRE cake. Yes, you read correct. It's a very rich cake and the frosting and berries cut through it nicely but once you've got the base down you can play around with it all you like! Enjoy.
Chocolate Cake with White Chocolate Frosting and Berries -
Syns -
7.5 for whole cake.
Serves 1-8

For the cake:
Half an oz of self raising flour
Half an oz of drinking chocolate
3 Eggs
5 Tbs of Sweetener

For the topping:
1 Tub of Quark
Sachet of White Chocolate Options
1 Tbs of Sweetener
Raspberries/Strawberries/Whatever you want


1. Pre heat the over to about 180 degrees.

2. Combine all the cake ingredients together and pour into a round sandwich cake tin. Bake for 10 minutes until at a spongey texture and leave to cool.
3. While the cake is cooling, mix the quark, options and sweetner in a bowl.
4. Once the cake is cool, spread with the frosting and top with berries or whatever you'd like to use!

I had 1/8 of the cake and it was more than enough! And only 1 syn!! Definitely a crowd please, Liam really enjoyed it too. Very, very happy! Good luck!

Hello Emily I saw your post about this recipe on mini mins forum, I made it today but it was more like a flat pancake :( are the eggs medium or large eggs? is the quantity of flour really half an ounce? I am just checking in case I messed something up

Sorry for the horribly late reply! As far as my scales go it is but they're getting a bit old these days, what size sandwich tin did you use? Mine is quite small! I also used medium eggs. If they're coming out really flat you could maybe add some baking powder or try them in cupcake form to beef them up a bit. Good luck regardless!
