Pineapple and Coconut Scan Bran Cake

After the great success of my Fruit and Spice Scan Bran Cake – I thought I  would try I different variation on the recipe and came up with the below. It was a lovely and moist cake and the pineapple added really made it taste delicious.

Just 10 syns for the entire cake

Ingredients

5 scan bran (5 syns)

140g of fresh pineapple, chopped up finely (2.5 syns)

1 tsp of baking powder (0.5 syns)

2 eggs, separated

1 tsp of cinnamon

1 tsp of coconut extract

1/3 cup of fat free vanilla yoghurt

2 tablespoon of brown sugar Splenda blend (2 syns)

buttery Frylight or Pam

Method

Preheat oven to 200c or 400f

Grease a ovenproof round cake tin with some non stick spray

In a dish, soak the scan bran in some boiling hot water to soften.

Add scan bran to a large bowl.

Add the cinnamon, baking powder and finely chopped fresh pineapple

Separate the yolks from the eggs into a small bowl. Set the egg whites aside

Add the yoghurt, brown sugar Splenda blend and coconut extract  to the egg yolks and whisk.

Add this mixture into the scan bran.

Spray a couple of sprays of buttery Frylight or Pam into the mixture

Whisks your eggs whites into meringue peaks, and fold them into the scan bran mixture.

Pour the cake mixture into your greased cake tin, and bake in the oven for approx 40-50mins, When cake is ready, a toothpick entered into the centre of the cake should come out clean. But you don’t want the cake to dry out too much, it should still be nice and moist in the middle. Let it cool down before cutting into slices to serve.

Serve with 4 tablespoons of light squirty cream for an extra 1 syn

    Hi there

    I think your recipes are lovely – thanks so much for sharing them.

    Could you tell me what Scan Bran is (maybe you have been asked this before and I apologise if I have missed it) ?

    I am looking for some kind of treat that I can make that doesn’t involve Mueller Light Yogurt, which all the recipes I can find seem to. So your cakes looks great. I just have no idea what Scan Bran is !

    Thanks so much
    Becky

    scan bran you can buy at any health food store like Holland and Barrett or similar. I believe you may be able to get it at Slimming World meetings too. Just google Scandinavian Bran Crispbread. :)

    Hi, your recipes are fab, I just found your site last week and think it’s amazing!
    just one query, isn’t pineapple a super free food but you’ve put 2.5 syns?

    thanks Liz

    it is a superfree food, unless pureed or cooked, when it then becomes syns :)

    Hi, I tried this, with a substitution of coconut for vanilla essence (as I didn’t have any) and normal sweetener for the Splenda (same reason as above), using a new Mueller Light vanilla with chocolate sprinkles (free!) making it 8 syns… very nice indeed! I had that scan bran in my cupboard for months, now I can use it :D

    I’m off out to buy the Splenda blend sugar/sweetner mix so I can make this cake later. (I saw it in the shops yesterday, thought it would be good to use in cakes but didn’t know how many syns it was so didn’t get it – DOH!) So thanks to yr wonderful site I know it’s syn value and it’s usefulness. I’ll be using my H/E B choice for the 5 scan brans so only 5 syns for the whole cake – amazing!!! Thanx once again for yr brilliant efforts!
