You will need a silicone mini muffin tin for these cakes – we find silicone bakeware to be incredibly useful for all sorts of different things, so they are well worth investing in.
These Mini Victoria Sponge Cakes can be sandwiched with whatever type of jam or filling you like. This raspberry flavoured recipe will bring a delicious tartness to the cakes, but you could try any fruity flavour of jam or even a little chocolate spread. Just remember to count the calories accordingly.

Almond Flour is great to use as a substitute for regular flour. You can replace up to 100% of normal flour with Almond Flour to bake anything. The only exception is baking with yeast (you should replace 10-20% of the regular flour for this).
As with coconut flour, almond flour has a high fibre content, it will soak up more liquid – up to twice as much as normal types of flour. This means you can reduce the amount of almond flour to 50-60% of the original amount of flour, or increase the amount of liquid in the recipe.
Sukrin Almond flour is just 315 calories per 100g. It is SO much lower than other almond flours. We use Sukrin Almond Flour as it is also reduced fat. You can pick some up on Amazon UK.
We also use Sukrin Gold which is an all-natural granulated stevia sweetener alternative to sugar with zero calories. You can grab Sukrin Gold over on Amazon UK.
If you are using a powdered sweetener, then please check how it compares to sugar. In some cases you’ll need to use less, as powdered sweeteners weigh less.

Sukrin Gold doesn’t have that strange aftertaste that a lot of artificial sweeteners do! It also shares the same sweetness and weight to sugar. That means it’s very easy to substitute in recipes like these Mini Victoria Sponge Cakes.
You don’t have to use Sukrin – there are lots of other high quality granulated sweeteners available from the supermarket, such as Canderel Sugarly, and Natvia.
