Low fat Victoria Sponge Cake is soft, delectable, smooth, moist and delicious. I have added step by step pics and instructions to make this Low fat Victoria Sponge Cake simpler to make. Until yesterday i felt sponge cakes are not my cup of tea. But I never give up and now I know the secret of making sponge cakes. Also I know the perfect way to bake my sponge cakes to avoid browning. The secret is shared below don’t worry.

There are lot of ways to make sponge cakes. But this one is the most easiest one. I have replaced butter with coconut oil to make it low fat. Further you could use low calorie sugar to make it more low fat. However I have used caster sugar as I am okay with some fat anyways I don’t gain weight easily except my cheeks. I always prefer adding less sugar. For example for 225 gms flour I will use 150 gms sugar only as I don’t prefer anything too sweet.

I will soon come up with more sponge cakes which is easy to make and distribute as Xmas goodies.  Got loads and heaps of goodies to make this year.

Let’s make step by step Low Fat Victoria Sponge Cake:

1. Preheat the oven at 180°C for ten mins before baking. Grease the spring form pan and place the butter Or parchment paper over the greases pan. Dust some flour over the sides of the pan and remove any excess. Place the pan aside.

3. Combine coconut oil and sugar in a mixing vessel. Take a metal whisker Or spatula and manually beat the oil + sugar until light and fluffy. Would advise to beat manually rather than electric beater.

8. Pour the batter into the greases pans. Bake for first ten mins at 180°C the reduce the temperature to 150°C for another 10 -12 mins. This process will help your cake not too brown too much on the top. Also if the skewer is sticky bake for some more time. Remove the butter paper from the cake. Dust with caster sugar and decorate with cherries.
