A Low‑Carb Victoria Sponge is the revival of a symbol of British baking The Victoria Sponge. A soft layers, light sweetness, and a creamy centre. This modern version keeps the tradition alive while removing the sugar spike. Using Good Dee’s Yellow Cake Mix gives you a reliable low‑carb base with a texture close to the original sponge.

The recipe stays simple, but the flavour and presentation feel premium and nostalgic.

### 🧁 Ingredients for the Low‑Carb Victoria Sponge

  • 1 packet Good Dee’s Yellow Cake Mix
  • 3 large eggs
  • ⅓ cup melted butter or light olive oil
  • ½ cup water
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Optional: 1 tbsp Greek yoghurt for extra moisture

These ingredients create a soft, airy sponge that mimics the classic Victoria texture.

### 🍓 Filling Ingredients (Low‑Carb)

  • 4–5 tbsp sugar‑free strawberry jam
  • 150–200ml whipped cream or mascarpone
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Powdered erythritol for dusting

The combination gives you the traditional look and flavour without sugar.

### 🥣 Method

  1. Preheat your oven to 170°C (fan).
  2. Line two 8‑inch round cake tins with parchment.
  3. Mix the eggs, melted butter, water, and vanilla until smooth.
  4. Add Good Dee’s Yellow Cake Mix and stir until just combined.
  5. Divide the batter evenly between the two tins.
  6. Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until golden and springy.
  7. Allow both layers to cool completely.
  8. Spread sugar‑free jam on the bottom layer.
  9. Whip the cream with vanilla and spread over the jam.
  10. Place the second sponge on top and dust with powdered erythritol.

The Smart Swap: A Heritage Victoria Sponge for Everyone

We all love the classic Victoria Sponge—it’s the heart of a British afternoon tea. But for many of us watching our sugar or managing health goals, the traditional recipe can be a challenge.

That is why I am so excited to share my “Smart Swap” for this recipe!

I have partnered with Good Dee’s to bring you a version that tastes just as nostalgic and buttery as the original, but with a fraction of the carbs. By using their Yellow Snack Cake Mix, we can keep that beautiful “Heritage” look while staying keto-friendly, gluten-free, and sugar-free.

How to make the Swap:

To get that perfect “Heritage” texture using the mix, here is my secret GH Sweet Care formula:

  • The Base: Use 1 package of Good Dee’s Yellow Snack Cake Mix.
  • The GH Hack: Instead of just oil, use 3 eggs, 21g of melted butter, and 21g of Greek Yogurt. The yogurt is the secret to keeping the sponge moist and dense, just like a traditional tea cake!
  • The Filling: Pair it with a sugar-free raspberry jam and freshly whipped double cream.
