Fuss-free retro desserts without the calories
Inspired by school dinner classics, this tray bake is a fuss-free way to get delicious cake on to your plate and into your belly. Line a rectangular (a brownie tin works perfectly) and add your cake mixture. While it bakes, mix some powdered erythritol, creme fraiche and water to create an icing. If following keto, set up the icing with a little xanthan gum, or if not worried about a little starch, use cornflour. The hundreds and thousands are an optional decoration and the only sugary addition if using.

Lo-Dough vanilla sponge mix - 240g of water
- 4 tablespoons of erythritol
- 2 tablespoons of half fat creme fraiche
- Thickener (xanthan or cornflour both work)
- Water to loosen the icing
- 100s and 1000s (optional)
