This is a much healthier version of a traditional sponge cake. So yum when filled with sugar-free berry jam and whipped cream, this cake has been included at many family celebrations and everyone loves it!
Ingredients
- 1 x pack Simply Swap Foods Vanilla Cupcake Mix
- ½ cup salted butter, melted (125g)
- 3 large eggs
- ½ cup preferred milk
- ½ cup sugar-free berry jam (available at supermarkets or recipe on my website)
- 1 cup pure cream
- 1 tbsp natvia sweetener (or similar granulated sweetener)
Method
Preheat oven to 170°C f/forced and grease and line 20cm cake pan.
- Pour entire dry mix contents into a large bowl and stir to mix well.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together melted butter, eggs and milk.
- Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and fold together gently.
- Pour mixture into lined cake pan and bake for 35-40 minutes or until cakes spring back when lightly touched in centre (or a skewer inserted into centre of cake comes out clean).
- Leave cake in pan for 10 minutes before removing to cool on wire rack.
- Once cake is completely cold, use a long bread knife to cut horizontally in half.
- Spread jam evenly on bottom half of cake.
- Make whipped cream by placing cream and natvia in a bowl and use electric hand beater to beat until thickened. Spread whipped cream on top of jam then replace top layer of cake.
- Ice with dark chocolate icing (recipe below) and decorate with your choice of berries.
Simple Dark Chocolate Icing
- 80g dark chocolate (min. 70% cocoa)
- 1 tsp coconut oil
- Melt chocolate by breaking into pieces and placing in microwave safe bowl with coconut oil on high for 1 minute. Remove and stir. If not fully melted, microwave further 30 secs at a time if needed. Stir well once melted.
You can have your cake and feel great too!

About Linda
After changing to a low-sugar real food diet over 3 years ago and experiencing huge health improvements, Linda wanted to create some Australian-made products to help others on a similar journey. The biggest challenge she had at the start of changing to a low sugar eating style was finding an easy replacement for her beloved sweet treats, especially at family celebrations. Drawing on her background as a cookbook author and food writer, Linda spent many months in the kitchen fine-tuning the recipes that are used in these mixes. Please check out Linda’s website for more details and know that she’ll be doing a super happy dance every time someone places an order.
