With ground almonds and whisked egg whites, this thin light sponge cake bypasses the mainstays of butter and refined flour in a standard sponge recipe. The strawberry sauce is also every bit as sweet and sticky as jam, with about a tenth of the sugar

Coconut milk lends itself naturally to pancakes, providing a lovely, light flavour. These make a great low-sugar breakfast
