It’s rich, moist and totally yummy – no one will believe that this is “diet” food!

If you want to reduce the calories and Points a bit, you could leave out the desiccated coconut, though it really does add to the texture and flavour of this cake.

Our Bounty Cake is amazing as it is, but to make it into a dessert you could serve it with some sweetened Quark, or fat-free coconut yoghurt.

You’ll need some coconut flour, and a loose-bottomed cake tin to make this recipe.

Our sweetener of choice is Sukrin 1 which is a natural, granulated sweetener (just like sugar) that has none of that horrible, artificial taste.

That being said, you don’t have to use Sukrin – there are lots of other high quality, granulated sweeteners available from the supermarket including Canderel Sugarly and Natvia.

If you’re using powdered sweetener, then please check how it compares to sugar. In some cases, you’ll need to use less, as powdered sweeteners can weigh less.

I am having the same problem locating flora lighter than light or the clover lighter than light my area too! Have postponed making cakes whilst I hunt for it so any alternatives would be great.

I love the sound of this and I am desperate to make it – the problem I am having is i CANNOT locate Flora lighter than light, or alternatively Clover Lighter Than Light – I have always used these in the past and nowhere seems to be stocking them atm. Any suggestions are more than welcome!! Thank you
