Recipe tip:
After baking, note that the Fit Sponge Cake may feel a bit drier because of the xanthan gum in the gluten‑free flour. To ensure irresistible flavor, thoroughly moisten the cake before filling. This step is essential for retaining moisture and enhancing taste. Also, make sure the cake is completely cool before slicing and stuffing.
