Sponge Cake Recipe

How to make a sponge cake with just 4 simple ingredients

Sponge Cake is a name you may be more familiar, is a very light and delicate cake that is so very versatile with an array of fillings and icings to chose from.

Sponge cakes are a little drier than some other cakes which can be eaten by themselves, like chiffon cakes. However, sponge cakes are supposed to be assembled with syrup and cream and can absorb moisture from these other components.

There are 3 points to success: exact measurements of ingredients, whipping the eggs until very thick, and not mixing too much and deflating the bubbles from the eggs. Getting sponge cake to turn out the way you want can be a little tricky, but if you prepare and keep these 3 things in mind, your cake will come out beautifully.

Once you have mastered the art of the classic sponge cake you can then move on to all the variations and never look back.The best bit is that from now on you are going to know just how easy it is.

Here is a simple sponge cake recipe (for 8 servings). You can serve it plain or with cream and butter.

Ingredients

1. 225g butter
2. 225g self-raising flour
3. 225g sugar
4. 4 eggs

Method

• Pre-heat oven at 180 degree centigrade
• Measure all the ingredients in prescribed quantity in a large bowl
• Mix all the ingredients using a electric whisk
• Pour the mixture into non-stick pan
• Place pan in the oven till golden brown 15-25 minutes
• Cool it before serving  

A Note on Doubling this recipe:

1. Most recipes are no problem to simply double or triple the ingredients amount and proceed as the recipe states to mix.
2. However with a recipe such as this one, that requires the eggs reach a certain volume, you may have trouble to double and especially triple the quantities here, because you are severely limiting the amount of room for the eggs to gain volume.
3. If you have a 7qt Kitchen Aid bowl, you can double the recipes, but I will not advise to triple unless you have a commercial 12Qt or 20Qt Bowl
