Keep in mind that the baking time may vary depending on the oven). When the sponge cake cooled completely, cut it into 20-22 slices.
- Now comes the filling part! Prepare the punch pudding with the sweetener and water or coconut milk according to its label. When the pudding cooled completely, add margarine. Then spread the cream onto the sponge cake slices, and stick the slices to each other with the cream.
- Make chocolate glaze by using 50 g low carb cocoa powder, 50 g powdered erythritol and 70 g margarine and spread it onto the cake.
- Enjoy!
