This study aimed to evaluate the potential of the bilayer emulsions stabilized with casein/butyrylated dextrin nanoparticles and chitosan as fat substitutes in preparing low-calorie sponge cakes. Among the different cake groups, the substitution of bilayer emulsions at 60% exhibited comparable baking properties, appearance, texture characteristics and stable secondary structure to fat. The specific volume and height were increased by 36.
