Strawberry Sponge Cake

Every now and then I like to retry one of the recipes in the info we give out to patients, just to check it still works. This is the basic cake recipe from the milk, egg, wheat and soya free diet sheet, with added strawberry pieces. Well it is Wimbledon week after all… Oh, and I reduced the sugar, still can't just follow a recipe, even when it's one of mine!

Sorry not many pictures as I went along, it's gymnastics night so didn't get home 'til after we normally would have had dinner.

175g Wheat Free Self Raising Flour
1/4tsp Bicarbonate of Soda
45g Dairy and Soya Free Spread
80g Caster Sugar
30g Golden Syrup
160mls Milk Substitute
1tsp Vinegar or Lemon Juice
1/2tsp Vanilla Paste or Extract
100g Chopped Fresh Strawberries (good use for the ones a little past eating fresh)

Melt spread, sugar and syrup together in a bowl.

Stir in milk substitute, vanilla and vinegar and set aside.

Weight out flour into another bowl and stir in bicarb.

Stir in the liquid to give a smooth batter.

Add the fruit and stir again.

Pour into a lined tin (I used a tray bake tin about 18x25cm).

Bake at 180Âșc for 25-30mins until firm to the touch.

Serve with dairy free cream, ice cream and fresh strawberries.
