Fatless Sponge Cake
Fatless Sponge Cake
Ingredients:
- 3 eggs separated
- 225g caster sugar
- 75 ml warm water
- 150g self-raising flour
- Jam to fill
Method:
Preheat oven to 170°C
Grease 2 sandwich tins and a little flour to cover the grease
Whisk egg yolks and sugar together adding the water a little at a time until a light and fluffy texture is made.
Sift the flour and gently add a little at a time into the egg and sugar mix by folding in with a metal spoon.
In a clean bowl, whisk egg whites until firm, then very gently fold into the cake mixture.
Divide the mixture into two greased sponge tins.
Place 1 tin on the low rack and bake for 15-20 mins or until firm and a light golden colour.
Repeat for 2nd tin
When cooled fill (sandwich) with jam
I also used the extender ring, turn heat setting down if cooking too quickly but this temp was perfect for my machine.
Assuming you use 2 tablespoons of jam for the filling this cake has 44 WeightWatchers ProPoints
