Sponge cake
Preheat the oven to 180°C.
Line the bases of 2 x 18cm (7 inch) round cake tins and grease the sides with low fat cooking spray.
Sift the flour and baking powder into a bowl.
Stir in the SPLENDA® Granulated, dried milk and ground rice.
Add the eggs, oil, milk with water, vanilla extract and salt. Mix this into the dry ingredients using a wooden spoon. The mixture should have a soft dropping consistency. If not, add another tablespoon of water. Spoon into the prepared tins and level the tops.
Bake for 25 minutes or until a skewer inserted comes out clean.
Cool in the tins for 10 minutes then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
When cold, the cakes are ready to decorate with the cream cheese filling.
