Tonight I fancied cake and well sometimes when you fancy cake, you just have to have it and this time it's a Sultana Weetabix Cake
Usually I combine oats with a few other ingredients, but with my oats being on the low side and already using my healthy extra b choice, I decided to use some weetabix. Add some fruit cake type spices and sultanas, this cake came out beautifully.
Once baked I also add a brown sugar, cinnamon mix before adding it back to the oven for 5 mins to form a sugar crust which was just amazing.
I served it drizzle with vanilla yoghurt mixed with a little light cream cheese. The combination together was delicious.
To sweeten I have used Sukrin gold (watch this space for my review of some sukrin products coming very soon). It is a natural sweetener and it has none of that horrible aftertaste you sometimes get with sweeteners. I have tried many different types in the past trying to find one that is natural and tastes natural and I think this is it. I usually just use some honey or maple syrup, but it's nice to know I can now use this. Instead of sukrin you can use any sweetener of choice of course. But I recommend sukrin if you can get some.
Sukrin can be ordered on amazon and from the Sukrin website.

for those in Canada, I am told Sukrin will be readily available to us in the Fall.
For the Cake I use a 8inch springform pan

The cake is not very high in depth, but as this recipe serves 4, once the cake is cooked. I slice into 8 equal size slices and stack two slices on top of each other and drizzle with the yoghurt.
