You’ll need a granulated sweetener for this recipe.

The sweetener we use is the same weight and sweetness as sugar. If you are using a powdered sweetener, then please check how it compares to sugar. In some cases you’ll need to use less, as powdered sweeteners weigh less.

Could you use something else other than salted caremel for the topping?
HollyMonday 15th March 2021
Hey Ann, yes you could use a different flavouring for the creamy topping there are lots of different choices available in supermarkets and online, hope that helps!
Helen MarieTuesday 12th May 2020
Hi, I’m new to the site and trying your recipes for the first time. I just wanted to check, would you class these cakes as an everyday light, weekly indulgence or a special occasion? X
Sharon FitzpatrickWednesday 13th May 2020
Hi Helen Marie, these cakes fall into the Everyday Light category as they are 122 calories each. Thanks for getting in touch and hope you enjoy making them!
Gill WindleSaturday 27th July 2019
Hi would these work in individual moulds x 6
Emma TWednesday 25th September 2019
Hi Gill,
Yes, you may need to adjust the cooking time depending on the size of ramekin you use ????
FinolaSunday 12th May 2019
Oh my… easiest and best cake ever. Not sure how it even made it into the oven….
Joan WilshawSunday 14th April 2019
Hi,
I’ve got Erythritol sweetener, would this be the same as sukrin
Emma TSunday 14th April 2019
Hi Joan,
Yes, this is very similar! ????
Angela WatsonTuesday 29th January 2019
You recommend a “shallow cake tin approx. 6 inches in diameter” – I take it that’s a square tin? If so, assuming each slice is 2″ square I calculate that you’d get 9 portions out of it. Please correct me if I’m wrong.
MatthewWednesday 14th November 2018
Hi once the cake is topped with the quark mixture do you need to keep the cake in the fridge so the quark Don t go off as I’ve made for tomorrow.
SarahThursday 22nd March 2018
Hi! I live in Canada where quark isn’t sold. Is there a something else I can use to replace this?
Thank you!!
AlexaTuesday 6th March 2018
In the ingredients it says you need frylight for the topping, but I can’t see in the instructions where it says to use it?!
ClaireFriday 9th February 2018
Do you think this would work as individual cakes if I bake them in a silicon muffin tray? And bake for less time obvously..
And it looks as though your recipe is 12 suns for the whole (6servings at 2 suns each) so I can just adjust depending on how many individual cakes it makes?
Thanks
Mary QuigleyFriday 9th February 2018
Hi I use cologran sweetener would it be ok to use in cake also what’s the best cocoa powder to use
SandieMonday 6th November 2017
Yum. Going to try this today.
Janet PottsFriday 3rd November 2017
What size eggs do you use for your cake recipes please.
LesleySaturday 22nd July 2017
I find the Jordan’s skinny syrups useful as they combine flavour and sweetness, so no sweetner needed. It lasts forever. They do a salted caramel one. Just need a few drops
michele , parsonsFriday 21st July 2017
hi where can i buy surkin 1 im in exeter/devon, also wot is it please and salted caramel flavouring/ where can i buy? thank you,
Emma TTuesday 12th September 2017
Hi Michele,
You can buy Sukrin 1 online (there are links in the recipe) and salted caramel flavouring is available in most of the supermarkets (I get mine from Tesco) ????
JeanThursday 2nd August 2018
Holland and Barrett sell Sukrin x
PaigeSunday 2nd July 2017
I have Asda stevia granulated sweetener, how much would I have to use? 70g is a whole jar full so surely it can’t be that! I’ve tried to look on websites but I can’t figure it out. Thanks
Emma TTuesday 12th September 2017
Hi Paige,
We use Sukrin which weighs the same as sugar – I would suggest buying a sweetener which weighs the same rather than the powdered type, as you can then use it the same as sugar ????
SelinaThursday 22nd June 2017
If using the sweetener how much would you use can’t get surkin
KateFriday 30th June 2017
Hi Selina
Different sweeteners vary in texture and sweetness, so it may depend on which brand you are using. Sukrin is exactly the same as sugar in texture, weight and sweetness so it’s quite easy to use. Most sweetener brands have conversion info on their websites so it may be worth checking whichever one you are using.
Shelley holdenSunday 16th April 2017
I only have sukrin gold would this work?
KateThursday 20th April 2017
Hi Shelley
We’ve not tried, but you could probably use Surin Gold instead
BethWednesday 5th April 2017
Could someone give me the recipe for this please, I can’t find it on here. Thanks
KateThursday 6th April 2017
Hi Beth
If you’re on mobile tap the ‘Click HERE To Read More’ button then scroll down, or if on Desktop just keep scrolling down to find the recipe
KateWednesday 5th April 2017
Hi Nadine
You could try using Highlights, but you may need to adjust the amount of sweetener as the Highlights sachets contain sweeteners. It probably won’t be quite as chocolately than if you use cocoa powder
KezMonday 3rd April 2017
Please help, I’ve made this exactly how it says, it tastes nothing like cake. It taste dark and rich like dark chocolate but not very chocolatly.
MichelleSunday 26th February 2017
Made this cake today (but didn’t have ingredients for the icing) – was so easy and delicious. Will definitely make again. Thank you!
KateSunday 26th February 2017
Hi Michelle
Glad you like it!
Ann fiddesSaturday 18th February 2017
If using a regular granulated sweeter is it the same amount or more?
KateSunday 19th February 2017
Hi Ann
It really depends on the brand. Sukrin is exactly the same as normal sugar in both in weight, consistency and sweetness so you can just replace sugar in a recipe with Sukrin, which is one of the reasons we like it so much. However, other sweeteners can differ greatly in weight and sweetness (they are usually a lot sweeter) so whichever brand you use, it may be worth taking a look at their website as a lot of them have conversion tables to help you work out the ratio to normal sugar
EmmaThursday 16th February 2017
Hi
How much Truvia sweetener would I use for this?
Thanks
KateThursday 16th February 2017
Hi Emma
Sukrin is exactly the same as sugar in consistency and sweetness, so I’d say it would be about 25g for the cake and 2 or 3 teaspoons of Truvia for the topping, but you should be able to check the exact conversions on the Truvia website.
trish barnardSaturday 20th August 2016
Yes Lyndsey I used normal sweetener in mine today.
Jan MasseyMonday 11th March 2019
I live in Greece and cannot find quark. What can I put in recipes as a substitute please?
CateMonday 8th April 2019
Fat Free Greek Yogurt is a good substitute! 🙂
LyndseyMonday 15th August 2016
Hello, love your recipes! Can the sukrin be replaced with regular sweetener? I’d love to make these today but sukrin will take a few days to arrive
Sarah WalkerTuesday 9th August 2016
Where did you get your salted caramel flavouring? Really want to try this!
Donna NormanSaturday 13th August 2016
I got mine at Tesco
KaySunday 7th August 2016
Hi Linda,
It all depends on which Cocoa powder you use. We’ve rounded up, as most of the big brands are higher.
sueSaturday 6th August 2016
Hi,what size cake tin would you recommend?
KaySaturday 6th August 2016
Hi Sue – we’d recommend a shallow cake din approx 6 inches in diameter. This won’t suit going in a loaf tin unlike our other cakes. Hope this helps!
