Never give up Tomorrow is another day.
it is the sukrin brand, I know sukrin is available in some supermarkets but don't know if all of them sell the sukrin gold which is the brown sugar substitute. I got mine from Ocado so it may be available in waitrose. It should also be available in health food shops and you can get it from the sugarfree megastore and goodness direct online.
The cake tasted just like a normal one and if I had not baked it myself I would not have known it was gluten free.
