Becka Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 Hello, Would anyone have a simple yet effective recipe for a fat free sponge? I've been making sponge for the pack lunches but would like to try a lighter version! Thanks, Becka Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
little cluckers Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 Hi Becka I'm not sure if it's what you're looking for but I've got a recipe for a Sultana Tea loaf cake which has no fat in it if you're interested? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missuscluck Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 Try this. 3 eggs 3oz caster sugar 3oz plain flour Grease and line 2 7" backing tins and drege with a mix of flour and caster sugar. Whisk the eggs and sugar in a large heatproof bowl over hot water untill doubled in size and leaves a thin trail when you lift the whisk. Remove from the heat and whisk untill the mix cools (about 5 mins) Sift in half the flour and fold with a metal spoon. Sift in the rest of the flour. Pour into tins, tilt to cover the tin so you dont knock out any air. Bake at 190 c for 20 - 25 mins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Becka Posted September 9, 2008 Author Share Posted September 9, 2008 Thank you very much for both the replies. Could I please have the recipe for the fruit loaf as I quite fancy attempting that. I'm going to try the fatless sponge today so thanks for the recipe. I will of course at icing and sprinkles as the children would be horrified if they were absent!

missuscluck Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 Just thought, what about muffins. They are generally fat free as they are more of a batter type mix. You can chuck fruit in too. I have made some redcurrant ones today. The redcurrants have been sat in the fridge for days with no one going near them. Bet they will all be eaten now they are in muffins.

little cluckers Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 Sultana Tea Loaf 225g sultanas 175ml cold black tea 225g self raising flour pinch salt 175g demerara sugar 1 large egg Soak sultanas in tea for a couple of hours. Preheat oven gas 4, butter a 2lb loaf tin Sift the flour into the sultanas and tea mixture, and then add the salt and sugar and stir in. Beat the egg lightly then stir that in too. Spoon into loaf tin and bake for about an hour. Easy to make and turns out very moist and tasty. Hope you like it ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
