Sponge Cake
Limit your serving size. Portion control matters here.
Sponge cake combines eggs, sugar, and wheat flour into a light, airy baked dessert. The wheat flour introduces fructans, while eggs and sugar remain low in FODMAPs. The airy texture introduces minimal air that dissolves quickly in the stomach. Careful flour verification and slice sizing ensure cake stays manageable. Most individuals tolerate a standard piece when wheat intake is tracked.

sticky_note_2 Clinical Notes
The fructans in sponge cake come directly from the all-purpose wheat flour used in the batter. You can safely lower the impact by substituting certified gluten-free baking flour and verifying egg freshness. Always verify commercial slices do not contain added high-fructose syrups or polyol stabilizers. Store covered to retain airiness and prevent drying that hardens crumb structure.
