Low-Carb Victoria Sponge Cake

Step 1Preheat oven to 170 °C/ 340 °F (fan assisted), or 190 °C/ 375 °F (conventional).

Step 2Using a stand mixer, beat the Swerve with the room temperature, softened butter, until fluffy. Add room temperature, softened cream cheese and beat until combined.

Step 3With the mixer on low, add the eggs one at a time, beating well in between each egg. Add vanilla.

Step 4In a bowl, place almond flour, baking powder and salt. Add the dry ingredients into mixture and beat until combined.

Step 5Grease 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.

Step 6Remove from oven and allow to cool.

Step 7Once cool, remove from pan(s) and cut in half. Place cream and additional Swerve into bowl and whisk until firm whipped.

Step 8Spread 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.

Step 9Dust with powdered Swerve, if desired. Serve a slice (if making one cake), or half of the mini cake (if making 6 mini sponges).

Step 10Store in the refrigerator, in a container, for 2 days.
