Sponge Cake

Share:

This easy sponge cake recipe is delicious and quick to make. This is the base cake for all the layered cream cakes you use for birthdays and other occasions. You can cut this cake and fill with butter frosting, whipping cream, fruits, etc. Soaking with sugar syrup makes the cake extra moist.

What I love most of this cake is that we can readily prepare with the staple ingredients found in our kitchen. Also, there is no too much of effort or task in this other than the proper whisking. It usually takes less than 1 hour to prepare the whole cake.

The secret to a spongy cake is in the beating of powdered sugar and butter. I had added 1/4 teaspoon pineapple essence additionally which provides a good smell and taste to this cake. Sift all the dry ingredients properly to make the cake light and airy.

This is an excellent recipe of cake for all the beginners who are getting ready to bake. This is a no fail recipe of cake, if you follow each steps correctly. The temperature of each oven differs. So you can confirm it by inserting a toothpick at the centre and check if it comes out clean.
