Instructions
SPONGE CAKES
- Preheat the oven to 180C / 350F electric or 160C / 320F fan assisted. Line the base of two 8 inch springform pans with parchment paper. Generously grease the sides with butter.
- Add the eggs to a blender and blend until they are fluffy and have doubled in size. If you don't have a blender, simply use a large mixing bowl and an electric mixer.
- Now, add all remaining wet ingredients - butter, yoghurt, almond milk and orange extract. Blend until smooth.
- Last, add all dry ingredients and blend until combined. With a high speed blender, you may need to scrape the sides a couple of times and blitz again.
- Spoon the mix into your prepared springform pans and bake for about 35 minutes or until you can insert and remove a skewer without any crumbs sticking.
FROSTING
- Meanwhile, place all the frosting ingredients in a food processor and blend until smooth. Taste and adjust the sweetness to taste.
ASSEMBLY
- Place one (fully cooled) cake on your serving board. Top with a thin layer of frosting, about ¼ of the mixture.
- Add the second layer of the cake and, using a spatula or palate knife, coat the top and sides of the cake until they are fully covered.
- Option to decorate the finished cake with grated chocolate and orange zest plus orange slices.
Notes
- 4g net carbs per slice. Makes 16 slices.
- For a smaller, single layer cake divide the recipe in half and use 4 medium eggs.
- Do not over-bake the sponge as it will firm up as it cools.
