Ingredients

  • 6 oz blackberries fresh or frozen
  • 2 tablespoons chia seeds
  • 2 tablespoons monkfruit/erythritol sweetener or other low carb sweetener
  • 2-4 tablespoons water.

Sponge

Filling

Instructions

Make the Chia Jam

  • Make the blueberry jam the night before (or 4-5 hours if you want it on the same day).
  • Place the blackberries in a saucepan on a medium heat, add the water and bring to the boil.
  • Simmer and add the monkfruit/erythritol. Cook for 5 minutes until the blackberries are soft.
  • Remove from the heat and add the chia seeds. Stir thoroughly (add more water if need be).

Make the Sponge Cake

  • Pre-heat the oven to 350F/180C degrees.
  • Grease and line a rectangle baking tin ( 9 x 13 inch, 22.9cm x 33cm) with parchment paper.
  • In one medium bowl, whisk the egg whites until firm and stiff.
  • In another medium bowl, beat the yolks with the erythritol until blended and smooth.
  • Add the coconut flour, lemon juice,, vanilla and baking powder into the egg yolk mixture and stir thoroughly.
  • Gently fold the egg whites into the flour mixture.
  • Pour the cake mixture into the prepared tin and bake for 15-20 minutes until firm and golden.
  • Remove the baking tin from the oven and allow to cool for 5 minutes..
  • Put a large piece of parchment paper on your countertop and place the baking tin on the parchment paper, sponge facing down. Remove the tin from the sponge.
  • Using the parchment paper on the top of the sponge, gently roll up the cake. This is to keep the sponge in the correct shape before adding the filling.
  • Set aside to cool.

Make the Filling

  • Whisk the cheese, lemon juice and low carb sweetener in a medium bowl until thick. Be careful not to over whisk it as you don't want butter.

Assemble

  • Gently unroll the cake, remove the top layer of parchment paper and spread the chia jam over the sponge evenly.
  • Spoon the whipped cream over the jam and spread evenly over the cake.
  • Using the outer layer of parchment paper roll up the sponge again.
  • Thinly cut the edges for a neater sponge.
  • Decorate as you wish with cream and blackberries.
  • Slice, eat and enjoy!
