Sponge cake isn't a health food, but it can be a lighter dessert option. It's lower in fat than some cakes due to minimal butter, but still has sugar. Enjoy it for special occasions and pair it with fruit for some extra nutrients!

I would recommend steering clear of sponge cakes if you're aiming for a guilt-free treat. While they might seem lighter, they're often loaded with sugar and refined flour, lacking in nutritional value. Opting for desserts rich in fruits or whole grains would be a better choice for both taste and health benefits. What do you usually look for in a guilt-free dessert?
