I'm entering a baking competition soon, so you'll see a few cakes as I practise. Hello Dear Reader,. This is a Mary Berry recipe, often used at the county shows as a competition recipe
We have finally eaten all the Christmas biscuits and the cake tin was looking rather bare, so I had a flip through one of my recipe clipping folders and came across Mary's teatime cake, a recipe from the very talented and delightful Mary Berry and published in BBC Good Food magazine
When we first posted the recipe for the Bakewell Baked Oats a few weeks ago we never expected them to be quite as popular as they are, and we started thinking about what other flavours we could try, and we came up with this one amongst others
I came across the original recipe for this cake and it wasn’t very Slimming World friendly, so I decided to make a few changes to reduce the syn values
Imagine our surprise when The Great British Bake Offs first technical challenge was Jaffa Cakes. Here at Pinch of Nom we’ve been talking about 1 Syn Each Jaffa Cakes for a few days now.

You’ll notice that these 1 Syn Each Jaffa Cakes have a drizzle of chocolate on top to keep the syns down

Do you remember when there was a walnut at the bottom of Walnut Whips (as well as the top), when cars had leather upholstery as standard, a holiday was a day trip to the beach, crisps had a little blue packet of salt in them, lemonade (and beer) came in refundable bottles with glass stoppers, a take away was only fish and chips, school trips were nature walks and chocolate cakes were simple and yet so light and moist
Now don't get me wrong, even though I'm following Slimming World I do still eat 'proper' cake. Sometimes I will begrudgingly syn it but other times I will just completely ignore it and hope for the best
On top of this there was 12 chocolate cupcakes to be prepared which meant a very late night on the Friday was required, but it was worth it and I was so proud of the final result
