"Super easy and fluffy strawberry sheet cake. Delicious and only 66 calories per portion! This recipe is very easy to make, quick, and really delicious! The recipe takes only 15-20 minutes to prepare and 30 minutes to bake. You can replace the strawberries with any other fruit you like: peach, apricot, apple, pear, blueberries, etc. Ingredients: 6 eggs, 40g sugar, 20g honey, 80g flour, 2 tsp lemon juice, 1 tsp vanilla extract, ½ tsp salt, 1 tsp lemon zest, ½ lemon extract, and 200g strawberries".
NotesThis recipe is very versatile and can be made using most fruits. I have tried it with pear, blueberries, apricots – and it is still absolutely delicious! For anyone with fruit allergies, you can easily leave the fruit out entirely or maybe get adventurous and add some chocolate.

Ingredients
- 6 medium eggs
- 40 grams sugar
- 20 grams honey
- 80 grams flour
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 200 grams strawberries
Instructions:
-
Pre-heat your oven to 180 °C (or 160°C with fan).
-
Separate 6 egg yolks and whites. In a large bowl, with a hand whisk, mix the egg yolks with the sugar and beat until they become pale yellow and fluffy.
-
Add in 20g of honey and the zest of one lemon and incorporate. Add in 80g of flour, one tbsp at a time, and beat into the yolks.
-
In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites with salt until you achieve soft peaks. Add 2 tsp of lemon juice and whip until you achieve stiff peaks.
-
Mix in vanilla extract. If needed, add a tsp of sugar to make the meringue stiffer.
-
Using a spatula, slowly incorporate the egg whites into the yolk and flour mixture. Be careful not to over-mix, so your batter stays super fluffy. The goal is just to combine the ingredients, not to whip them.
-
Line a 30cm baking tin with grease-proof paper and pour in your cake mix.
-
Top with 200g chopped strawberries or any fruit of choice.
-
Bake in pre-heated oven at 180 Celsius for 30 minutes or until golden brown.
-
Let cool, slice into lovely rectangles, and sprinkle with icing sugar.
-
Enjoy your guilt-free treat! It’s really addictive!
