Well it sounds like you're well able to adapt your existing knowlege into making things low fat for yourself. They definitely don't taste the same as the high fat versions but just changing a few ingredients such as the flora lighter than light rather than butter makes an enormous difference to the fat content. Good luck with your weight loss

Yes I used bournville, I'm cake maker and decorator in my spare time so like to think I've got half a clue lol, I just don't think it was sweet enough for us and feel maybe the bitter taste came from the bournville. I made some very nice tray bakes instead the week after so we had our cake in the end.

Oh how disappointing...the one we cooked here for this video was really nice. I've checked with Dean and he says did you use young courgettes (as the old ones can taste bitter) and did you use good quality cocoa powder? We can recommend Bournville or Green and Black.

I was really looking forward to trying this recipe but I have to say it was horrid!! We chucked it in the bin, even with the addition of some icing it was still not nice. It had a funny smell that put us off before we even tasted it and the taste wasnt good anyway, really strange !!
