Why is it when you think about the word DIET, all you can think about is food. I love my food but I also like to have my treats too. I’m trying to lose weight but rather than think of myself being on a diet I like to think of it more as a healthy eating plan, where I can have a little bit of everything in moderation and that includes cakes.

Enjoying your mid-morning cuppa without a biscuit or cake isn’t quite the same is it? This lovely little coffee sponge recipe is just perfect for those moments, light and airy but bang on flavour, you will have to try and stop yourself reaching for more…

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 170’c and spray a bun tin with low calorie spray. Mix together the ingredients for the filling and chill until required.
Using an electric whisk, whisk together the eggs and sugar until thick and foamy, (a trail should remain on the surface for about 15 seconds when the whisk is lifted out).
Gently sift the flour and coffee powder into the egg mixture and fold in using a metal spoon, trying not to knock to much air out.
Spoon the mixture into the bun tin and bake for 8-10 minutes. Allow to cool before adding the topping, you can then sandwich together if you wish. (sprinkle over a teaspoon of coffee powder to decorate).
