I recently found a recipe for 'HRT' cake - high in natural phyto-oestrogen which was recommended by a friend. However it is extremely high in calories. Has a gone got a low calorie recipe?

I'd never heard of this cake, so I'm glad you posted it; it sounds like a good healthy alternative to my normal energy bar, actually.

Here's a recipe I found that has 216 calories per serving; don't know if you would consider that high or not but here it is for your reference:

half cup linseeds
half cup sunflower seeds
half cup pumpkin seeds
half cup sesame seeds
half cup flaked almonds
2 pieces stem ginger, finely chopped
1 and a half cups of raisins
half teaspoon nutmeg
half teaspoon cinnamon
half teaspoon ground ginger
about 2 cups soya milk
1 tablespoon malt extract

1 Put all the dry ingredients into a large mixing bowl. add the soya milk and malt extract, mix well and leave to soak for about
30 minutes.

2 Heat the oven to 190 C/375 F/gas 5. Line a small loaf tin with baking parchment.

3 The mixture should have a soft dropping consistency, just too thick to pour. If necessary stir in some more soya milk.
Spoon the mixture into the prepared tin and bake for 1 and quarter hours. Test with a skewer and if it is not cooked
