Fri, 15 Aug 2008 20:30:00 +0000 http://www.timeshealth.co.uk/6_47_0.htmlOK, I finally got round to making this... I didn't have Canderel, but I did have Splenda, which I thought was much the same thing. 2oz seemed an awful lot, and I ended up stopping short at about 1.5 oz, but the cake had a real tang to it that wasn't at all nice - should I have used less Splenda? It just tasted of artifical sweetner...?...http://www.timeshealth.co.uk/6_47_0.htmlFri, 15 Aug 2008 20:30:00 +0000http://www.timeshealth.co.uk/6_47_0.htmlQuoting: juleswhnever seen buckwheat flour.

You can make some amazing things out of the strangest ground ingredients. Getting them has always been the problem... Rice flour I found in a health food shop, but never seen buckwheat flour. Now even my local farm shop sells spelt flour for bread making. Maybe I should ask them to stock it!...http://www.timeshealth.co.uk/6_47_0.htmlFri, 09 May 2008 09:16:29 +0000http://www.timeshealth.co.uk/6_47_0.htmlI'm assuming the ground chick peas take on the role of the flour and act as a substitute. I don't think I'd like to put the artificial sweetener in though. Fiona's idea of teh honey is a good one but might add too much moisture to the recipe. It's amazing when you cut down on sugar, fat and salt just how much you notice sweet, fatty and salty tastes in food. I had a can of diet pepsi recently and it was just too sickly sweet for me....http://www.timeshealth.co.uk/6_47_0.htmlFri, 09 May 2008 06:46:58 +0000http://www.timeshealth.co.uk/6_47_0.htmlQuoting: flowerswhat is the equivelant in sugar of 2oz Canderel I wonder if it would taste nice with honey instead of sugar or artificial sweetener? Emm I usually find that you can quite happily cut the amount of sugar a recipe calls for - they're usually too sweet anyway. But unfortunately it does mean tasting the cake mix before you bake it! ...http://www.timeshealth.co.uk/6_47_0.htmlWed, 07 May 2008 21:35:18 +0000http://www.timeshealth.co.uk/6_47_0.htmlWhat an interesting recipe - what is the equivelant in sugar of 2oz Canderel?http://www.timeshealth.co.uk/6_47_0.htmlWed, 07 May 2008 20:18:25 +0000http://www.timeshealth.co.uk/6_47_0.htmlI printed this off weeks ago and bought all the ingredients, but haven't got round to making it yet!http://www.timeshealth.co.uk/6_47_0.htmlWed, 07 May 2008 20:12:22 +0000http://www.timeshealth.co.uk/6_47_0.htmlYou are right it is very nice!! It does sound strange and that's exactly what I thought when I was given the recepie by a friend last month. I've now made it twice.
