Ingredients

50g oats

1tbsp sunflower oil

1tbsp Clarks Original Maple Syrup Blended with Carob Fruit Syrup

3 eggs

200ml syrup

225ml sunflower oil

2tsp vanilla extract

4 limes

175g self-raising flour

1 sachet sugar-free lime jelly

300ml whipping cream

2tbsp agave syrup

Method

1
Preheat the oven to 180C/160C Fan/Gas 4. Grease and line 2 x 20cm round springform cake tins.
2
On a baking tray, toss the oats with sunflower oil and maple syrup. Bake for 15 mins until crisp. Cool, then blend to fine crumbs.
3
Separate the eggs and whisk the whites in a large bowl until they hold their shape. Whisk together the yolks and syrup, sunflower oil and vanilla extract. Fold in the whisked egg whites until smooth.
4
Zest the limes. In a bowl, mix the self-raising flour and 1tbsp of the zest, then gradually whisk in the yolk mixture. Divide between the tins and bake in the middle of the oven for 20-25 mins until golden, risen and a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean. Use the handle of a wooden spoon to poke holes through to the centre of each cake. Cool fully in the tins.
5
Meanwhile, put 1 sachet sugar-free lime jelly in a jug and pour over 280ml boiling water. Stir to mix, leave to cool, then chill in the fridge.
6
Once the jelly is almost set, pour over the cake, tilting the tins so the jelly fills the holes. Cover with clingfilm and chill for 4 hrs or until the jelly is set.
7
Remove the cakes from the tins. Whip the whipping cream, 2tbsp of the lime zest and 2tbsp agave syrup until thick. Spread ½ on top of 1 cake, sprinkle with ½ the oats and top with the other cake. Finish with the remaining cream, oats and lime zest.
