Low-fat chocolate sponge cake

11 ingredients 30 min + 1 hr Serves 8 openrecipes

This chocolate cake contains no butter or oil so is naturally lower in fat than a classic chocolate sponge. The addition of grated apple makes the sponge moist and its natural sweetness means you can afford to use less caster sugar.
