Clean Vanilla Sponge Cake

This is a cake for any occasion- a birthday, a celebration, or just a treat for family and friends! The beauty of it, is that is is Gluten free and refined sugar-free. For baking I like to use alternatives with the ingredients that I cant eat, instead of coming up with a complicated new recipe.

I challenge anyone to taste any difference in the taste of a normal sponge cake and my GF and SF sponge cake because it really is that delicious!

I have added a sugar free chocolate icing in the centre and as a topping that I will share the recipe in a post soon! This post is all about getting a perfect sponge....

Ingredients:

- 170g butter (left at room temp for 20 minutes to soften)

- 170g XyloBrit (Sugar free natural sweetener)

- 3 eggs

- 170g Gluten free self raising flour

- A few drops of vanilla

Instructions:

1) Preheat the oven to 180 degrees C.

2) Blend the softened butter and XyloBrit together until completely smooth.

3) Add the eggs and the drops of vanilla and blend again well.

4) Add the flour and fold in until batter is smooth and soft.

5) Divide the mixture evenly between two tins and oven bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.

Tip- To test if the cake is ready, dip a clean knife into the highest point of the cake and it comes out clean (no batter) then the cake is cooked through.

6) Turn out two cakes onto wire racks for cooling and wait until completely cooled until adding filling and topping.

7) Add any filling such as sugar free jam or chocolate (see below photo).
