Cous Cous Fruit Cake

Green = 2.5 syns for the whole cake!


Dead easy to make, came out perfectly on my first attempt. Really tasty and perfect with a cuppa.

4oz/110g Cous cous
3 Eggs
4 tbsp Splenda
2 tsp Mixed Spice
2 heaped tbsp fruit Mincemeat
1 Juice of lemon

Preheat oven to 180ºC.
Soak cous cous in boiling water (use double the height of the cous cous). Add the sweetener, lemon juice and mixed spice, stir in well and allow water to absorb for about 5 minutes.
Add the mincemeat to the cous cous mixture.
Whisk the eggs with a hand whisk until light and airy.
Add the cous cous mixture to the eggs and mix in well.
Grease a 8" cake tin and pour in the complete mixture.
Bake in the oven for 40mins. Remove and allow to cool on a wire rack.

Serving suggestion: Drizzle a Vanilla Mullerlight, like you would with custard.

The lemon and mincemeat work really well together in this cake, you'd never realise that it's made from cous cous.

  1. Looks lovely, I used to make fairy cakes with yoghurt as part of the mixture, but think I'll try this!

    Did you grease the tin with fry light?
