Recipe Reviews
Great
Just made these with my daughter and they were delicious! Very easy to make and minimal ingredients which I always love! I gave the topping a miss however as I had some leftover white chocolate from Christmas that I melted and spread on top instead then added some sprinkles to pretty them up.
I’m a little confused about the sugar amount. How can 100g of sugar be half a spoon? Or am I’m missing something?

Hello,
Half Spoon is our brand of sugar,
Half Spoon contains granulated sugar mixed with a small amount of sweetener making it 50% fewer calories than regular sugar. For baking, use half the amount of Half Spoon than the quantity of sugar stated in the recipe. Your recipe will be just as sweet, but you may need a little more baking powder to help increase the volume.
Happy Baking!
The cakes are lovely however the topping was just a sloppy mess
Tasted very good. Nice and gooey 👍
