Creating a low-syn Victoria Sponge Mug Cake for a Slimming World diet can be a delicious and satisfying treat. Here’s a simple recipe for you:
Ingredients:
For the cake:
- 4 tablespoons self-raising flour
- 2 tablespoons sweetener (adjust to taste)
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons fat-free Greek yogurt
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the filling:
- Fresh strawberries or raspberry jam (choose a low-sugar or sugar-free option)
Instructions:
- In a microwave-safe mug, whisk together the self-raising flour and sweetener.
- Add the egg, fat-free Greek yogurt, and vanilla extract to the mug. Mix well until you have a smooth batter.
- Microwave the mug on high for 1.5 to 2 minutes. The cooking time may vary depending on your microwave, so keep an eye on it. The cake should rise and become firm to the touch.
- Let the mug cake cool for a few minutes.
- Once the cake is cool, carefully slice it in half horizontally, creating two layers.
- Spread a layer of fresh strawberries or a thin layer of low-sugar or sugar-free raspberry jam on one half of the cake.
- Place the other half of the cake on top to create a sandwich effect.
- Optionally, dust the top with a little extra sweetener or powdered sugar substitute.
