    I use all plane oats add 80-100g of demarara sugar, all fruit 150g sultanas. 50g drinking chocolate powder. Always wait for it to cool down before eating. Preferably wait until the next day. Perfect tasty treat! Wallop!

    I was looking for a sugarfree cake recipe to make myself a birthday cake and found this one. I halved the recipe and used honey, banana (in place of some of the milk), raisins and stevia sweetened chocolate chips. Took care of my wish for something sweet and to celebrate my birthday!

    I need to lose weight and wasn't looking forward to a life without cake. Stumbled across this recipe. Substituted the honey with combination of zero/maple & golden syrup, also reduced syrups to 110g. Used apricots,sultanas & dates. To be honest I wasn't expecting much, but this was surprisingly good in taste and texture. I look forward to trying this with other dried fruits. Thanks for this recipe it will help me stick to a healthier diet.

    This is the best and healthiest cake I have ever made or bought - I have been having 3 slices with yoghurt every day since I first made it, many, many months ago. I find 86g of sultanas is sweet enough. I cook it for 55mins -10 out of 10 for me. I’m now going to try your other Healthy sweets. Thank you

    Can I use just rolled oats instead of quick and rolled?

    Yes, you can, but the texture might be slightly different.
