Lemon Cous Cous Cake

I’m into cous cous at the moment, probably in part because I’m heading to Morocco soon and trying different recipe ideas to see what I like.  On my travels I’d seen a lemon cous cous cake and to be honest I thought it’d be horrible but I had a couple of spare lemons and a load of cous cous and decided nothing ventured nothing gained and gave it a go.

The whole cake is ¼ syn for the baking powder and I’m not counting that, so it’s free and as it’s cous cous you don’t have to use your HEB!

Syn free lemon cous cous cake

To be perfectly honest I was pleasantly surprised, it was a thicker texture than a lot of the slimming world friendly cakes and really lemon-y and tart.  I liked it a lot.  Tried it both hot and cold (couldn’t help it!) and to be fair it works really well either way plus it kept for three days in the fridge no problem.  I can’t comment if it would keep any longer because it all got eaten but it was definitely really tasty and something to do again.  Maybe I’ll try a salted caramel or lemon and blueberries next but until I do the recipe for a plain lemon cous cous cake is here

I served it sliced on it’s own but it would go really well with syn free lemon curd or some quark mixed with a white chocolate options and couple of spoons of sweetener.  

Enjoy!
