Advantages: tasty

Disadvantages: fattening

Lyles have been making this cake for over 20 years now . I often buy mine from Tescos costs about £1.15 poften on offer as a two for one .

This cake is wrapped in a green and blue plastic foil wrapper with the Tate and Lyle's lion on it. This wrapper keeps the cake moist and fresh for quite a long time.
The cake wieghs 219g.

This cake is a lovely golden brown colour
I love golden syrup, (I can remember eating golden syrup on bread as a nipper) and this cake is no exception. I will sometimes eat this cake with a cup of tea, sometimes for a pudding warmed up and served with custard or cream perhaps some golden syrup poured onto it. I think I actually prefer to eat it warmed as a pudding .
I deal for a winter pudding.

This cake is moist and sweet you can taste the golden syrup
Slimming pudding? No way very fattening full of calories 335 per 100g. I think you could probably get 4 or 5 fair servings out of this cake for a pudding.

This cake is not suitable if you have a nut allergy it's made in a factory that uses nuts in other products, it contains egg too, dairy protein and wheat flour.

This cake is available as the one large cake I have written about or as a pack with individual cakes in it.
I have recently bought two large cakes on a buy one get one free deal.
