Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F/325 degrees F fan-forced. Grease and flour two deep 8-inch round cake pans.

  2. Beat eggs and sugar in small bowl with electric mixer until thick, creamy and sugar is dissolved. Transfer mixture to large bowl; fold in triple-sifted dry ingredients. Divide mixture between pans.

  3. Bake sponges about 20 minutes. Turn, top-side up, onto parchment-covered wire rack to cool.

  4. Sandwich sponges with jam and cream.

Why this Featherlight Sponge Cake works for PCOS

Desserts on a PCOS plan are not banned, but timing and pairing matter. Eating sweet foods immediately after a balanced meal (rather than on an empty stomach) blunts the blood sugar response, since protein and fat slow gastric emptying. This Featherlight Sponge Cake works best as an occasional post-dinner option rather than a standalone snack.
