How pretty are these individual keto Victoria Sponges? Such a lovely addition to a fancy afternoon tea or even a dinner party keto dessert.
The vanilla cake used as a base for these cakes is one of my very favourite low-carb treats. Soft, moist and very vanilla-y, it’s delicious.
Add a luscious layer of my Raspberry Balsamic Chia Jam or any other sugar-free chia jam and some whipped cream and you have an official slice of heaven. Enjoy!

Ingredients (makes 6 Victoria Sponges)
Vanilla Cake:
Filling:
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 170 °C/ 340 °F (fan assisted), or 190 °C/ 375 °F (conventional).
- Using a stand mixer, beat the Swerve with the room temperature, softened butter, until fluffy. Add room temperature, softened cream cheese and beat until combined.
- With the mixer on low, add the eggs one at a time, beating well in between each egg. Add vanilla.
- In a bowl, place almond flour, baking powder and salt. Add the dry ingredients into mixture and beat until combined.
- Grease and line one large (22 cm/ 9 inch) or six individual (11 cm/ 4.5 inch) springform pans. Pour batter into pans and bake for 45-60 minutes, checking the cakes(s) after 45 minutes of baking. Small cakes will take less time to cook than one large cake.
- Remove from oven and allow to cool.
- Once cool, remove from pan(s) and cut in half. Place cream and additional Swerve into bowl and whisk until firm whipped.
- Spread a layer of Raspberry Balsamic Jam on to one side of the cake (about 2 tbsp per sponge). Spread a layer of whipped cream on the other side and sandwich together.
- Dust with powdered Swerve, if desired. Serve a slice (if making one cake), or half of the mini cake (if making 6 mini sponges).
- Store in the refrigerator, in a container, for 2 days.
