There’s nothing better than slicing into a rich, moist cake, covered with icing, and while the ‘real deal’ is fine for a treat we wanted to create a slimming friendly recipe, that’s equally as delicious, but can be enjoyed whilst calorie counting or following plans like Weight Watchers.
The first thing we decided to change was the size, making our Chocolate Orange Bundt Cakes bite-sized versions of the traditional high-calorie cake. We then looked to Scan Bran to help make these Chocolate Orange Bundt Cakes even more slimming and practically guilt-free!
If you’ve never heard of Scan Bran before, let us explain.
Scan Bran is short for Scandinavian bran crispbread. This particular crispbread is made from unprocessed wheat so it keeps you feeling fuller for longer. They are an excellent source of fibre and can be used as a crispbread alternative, as a breakfast topping or even used in baking.

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.
We also suggest buying a mini bundt cake mould.

How many calories are in the Chocolate Orange Bundt Cakes?
There are 72 calories per portion in this Chocolate Orange Bundt Cakes, which means it falls into our Everyday Light category.
This Chocolate Orange Bundt Cakes are perfect if you’re following a calorie controlled diet and fits well with any one of the major diet plans such as Weight Watchers.
As a guide, an average man needs around 2,500kcal (10,500kJ) a day to maintain a healthy body weight. For an average woman, that figure is around 2,000kcal (8,400kJ) a day. Obviously, if your goal is to lose weight then you might want to adjust these slightly! You can read more about these recommendations on the NHS website.
Step 1
Soak the Scan Bran in boiling water.
Step 2
Pre-heat the oven to 180°C and spray your silicone mini bundt tray with some low calorie cooking spray.
Step 3
When the Scan Bran has softened, drain it well and mash it up with a fork.
Step 4
Beat the eggs with the granulated sweetener until it has dissolved, then add the cocoa powder, chocolate extract, zest and drained Scan Bran. Mix it well to combine all the ingredients.
Step 5
Divide the mix between the 18 muffin cases and bake for about 15 – 20 minutes until they are firm. They should be spongey when you press down lightly and spring back. You should have enough mix left for another 4 mini bundt cakes.
Step 6
When they are cooked pop them out of the moulds to cool, then give the remaining mix a good stir, pour it into the moulds and bake.
Step 7
When they are cooled melt the white chocolate in the microwave (it doesn’t take long so keep an eye on it) then put it into a disposable piping bag and snip a small hole in the end.
Step 8
Drizzle the chocolate evenly over the cakes and allow to set.

Hi Harriet,
Yes, you can freeze these once they are cooled. They should keep in an airtight container for a couple of days ????

Hi Julie
Yes you could make one big cake. It would probably take 35 – 40 minutes at 180°C, or until it springs back when you press down lightly
