I just made this with the gluten free flour recipe but omitted the sugar and used 100g xylitol as its better for u and 2 tablespoons of stevia. It turned out soft and great and was best gluten free cake ive made

This is the easiest and tastiest sponge cake ever. It's delicious.
Thank you for this recipe....and it's so easy to slightly change it (ie if you don't like coffee) and it's still delicious.
My only concern is that it's so good, I can see the lbs piling on.....just want more of it. ;)
Thanks.

This has to be the simplest, most enjoyable cake I've ever made.

I've made it loads of times, it never fails and it always looks and tastes spectacular.

After being diagnosed coeliac, my spirits were at an all-time low. All I could think of was all he things I'd have to give up to avoid ending back in hospital.

This is a definite "never fail" spirit lifter if ever there was one.

Leave out the icing sugar, coffee and cream cheese, by the way, for a dynamite all-purpose sponge recipe.

I gave up eating cake when I was diagnosed as wheat & dairy intolerant some 16 years ago. Having recently moved house I stumbled upon the Doves Farm baking booklet that I sent off for (probably 10 years ago) but never used! I made this cake with trepidation the first time but it is in huge demand with family and friends. In fact I now get requests to bake it and people refuse to believe it's wheat & diary free. I use goats butter and lactofree cream cheese instead of cow's milk products.

This cake reignited my love of baking and my 5 year old son now insists we bake something almost every weekend.

I have mad this several times and am real fan. I have made as written and converted to a lemon cake style which was great. I prefer this to the ones I have made from wheat flour.

I find using ver strong espresso from my Gaggia works really well

I have used a fan oven for this too, which worried me, but it was easy
