To make ….
1.. separate the eggs in two bowls- whites in one, yolks in the other.
2.. with the egg yolks add the baking powder, sweetner, quark, cinnamon, nutmeg and one tablespoon of biscoff and mix with a electric whisk.
3.. whisk the egg whites into stiff peaks.. you should be able to turn your bowl upside down and the whites stay where they are. If they move whisk a little more.
4.. with a fork squash the banana, so it’s mashed consistency (this helps release the sugar)
5.. add banana and flour and whisk.
6.. tip the egg whites into the yolk mixture and fold in using a metal spoon, or rubber spatula
7 line a tin with greaseproof paper.
8.. pour in mixture and very gentle spread out evenly, don’t tap the the tin on the worktop otherwise the air will fall out..
9.. bake in the middle of the oven for around10-12 mins.. (check it’s cooked like a regular cake by popping a knife in the middle) if you see it is catching a little on the top.. Simple’s turn it down to a lower heat of 4 till it is slightly firm to touch.
Once cooked and cooled… USE A PROPER MEASURING SPOON OTHERWISE YOU MAY OVER GO YOUR SYN ALLOWANCE
8…measure out 2.5 tablespoons of biscoff and gently spread over the top of the cake.
9…roll the cake up and top with melted biscoff (1/2 teaspoon)
10… crush the lotus biscuits in a bag with the end of a rolling pin and sprinkle on to decorate.
11. make a lovely cup of tea and enjoy a piece of cake that won’t make you put on weight.
If you wanted to treat yourself you could serve with a custard or very small amount of ice cream. Both of which would need to synned.
