Hero Sponge Recipe - Gluten / Dairy Free
From the bakery
Digital recipe only: This is a downloadable PDF recipe for home baking. Anges de Sucre does not bake or sell physical vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free or egg-free cakes from our London bakery. Our kitchen handles wheat/gluten, eggs, dairy, soya, peanuts and tree nuts, so we cannot guarantee bakery products are free from traces of allergens.
Our signature Hero Sponge recipe has been modified for gluten-free and/or dairy-free home baking.
Our Original Hero Sponge recipe has taken many years to perfect and is cost-effective, time-efficient, easy and versatile. After many trials we modified the original recipe to help home bakers working around gluten and/or dairy restrictions.

Decorations, sponge and frosting
Cost-Efficient
It replaces the need for butter with oil, ensuring the cake remains moist for far longer.
As we are not creaming butter, we don't even need caster sugar. We use granulated sugar instead which is 60% cheaper than caster.
Time-Efficient
By omitting the use of butter, we also reduce production time. No more hanging around for butter to come to room temperature or creaming it with caster sugar.
Easy
With ingredients all listed in grams and in the order that go into the bowl, this is the easiest recipe to follow. You also do not need any special equipment or mixers - a simple hand whisk or even a wooden spoon will do.
Versatile
One batter - countless flavour possibilities. You only ever need this one batter which can be flavoured right at the end with anything you fancy.
Flavour
There is no compromising on flavour as the recipe uses dairy-free yoghurt in the batter, giving the sponge a tender crumb and beautiful flavour.
The sponge itself is moist, flavoursome and has just the right structure to be covered in buttercream or fondant decorations.
