Fat Free Wholemeal Sponge Sandwich

Name: Fat Free Wholemeal Sponge Sandwich
Ingredients: 3 eggs; 75 g caster sugar; 100 g Doves Farm Organic Stoneground Self Raising Wholemeal Flour; 5 tbsp jam

Makes 1 cake

Make and bake this fat-free wholemeal sponge in under 20 minutes. Using just three, simple ingredients and a filling, this sponge sandwich is quick to bake and there will be hardly any washing up afterwards. For this everyday cake we used two 20cm/8” round tins, although you can use two 15cm/6” diameter tins for deeper sponges. You can also swap marmalade or chocolate spread for the jam used to sandwich the sponges together.

Very poor, the sponge mixture did not even cover the base of the tins - are the quantities correct? It did not rise and has the after-taste of an omelette, ie too much egg not enough flour. I am disappointed.

I didn't eat it myself but I made it for a friend and she said it was DE-licious. It was lovely and spongy and kept its shape perfecrly. Very easy to make. Next time Ill add some flavouring to the sponge and perhaps use jam. Very versatile.
