HFG tip
For baking, use a reduced-fat spread with around 60-65g fat per 100g (although 55 per cent fat may be fine for most baking).

There’s no reduced fat spread in the instructions?
Hi Mary
Thanks for your comment. The spread is used in step 2, beaten together with the sugar and eggs, etc.
Warm regards
