Thread: Fat Free Sponge Cake

Hi Everyone,
Has anyone made the fat free sponge cake recipe yet? I have just made the sponge and it smells nice but am waiting for it to cool before I make the filling & topping.

If anyone wants the recipe let me know & I will post it.

Mmmm I will make this as my easter treat I think as I know I won't get any eggs! My daughter is only having 1 egg as well!

Hi have just made the Chocolate and Orange Fat Free sponge at it is lovely! I used orange essence in the cake batter, and used 1oz cocoa powder/1oz SR flour.

As the cake has lots of flavour, I kept the filling simple and just used 0% greek yogurt, but I like the sharp contrast of cake and yogurt!

Took a photo of a 1 syn piece, to give people an idea of what you get for your syn

Thanks for the recipe Julie - I will try it again, adding chocolate essence in place of the orange, and flavouring the filling with orange instead.

angie, your food always looks so immaculate. xxxx

I took this cake to class on Tuesday and everybody loved it. Its so easy to make and keeps nice in the fridge, this will see me through my sweetie moments.

This is my first post on Minimins and i just wanted to say hi to everyone! I am definatly going to have a crack at this cake... it looks divine!

I made a chocolate cake using 2oz of cocoa and although it was lovely it was a bit strong and didn't rise very well. I think it would have been better if I had used half flour & half cocoa like angie did!

I did make a lovely filling/topping though:

Use 2 pots of Aldi virtually fat free strawberry fromage frais as the filling then dissolve 6 level tsp reduced sugar seedless rasberry jam (3 sins) with 6 tsp boiling water and spoon onto a punnet of rasberries. Stir until all berries are covered in the syrup then spoon onto the top of the cake.
