There are tips that will help you create the best sponge cake ever.
- you have to prepare all your ingredients.
- keep all your ingredients at room temperature.
- mix them up
- you don't have to rush
- don't over mix
- keep milk close by.
- use the real ingredients as best as you can.
- use a grease proof paper.
This is how you can make your cake soft and spongy. - make use of your cake flour instead of all purpose flour.
- add sour cream
- room temperature butter and don't over cream.
- add a touch of baking powder or baking soda.
- add oil and don't over mix.
Brush with simple syrup or other liquid creaming butter and sugar whisking butter and sugar together is one of the essential tips to make the cake spongy, fluffy and moist you have to whisk butter and sugar for long until the mixture becomes pale yellow and fluffy because of incorporation of air I found out that real butter Makes a much sikier,firmer and thicker butter cream which is perfect to hold our cakes together and spread top I am well known for my generous layer of butter cream at the middle of my sponge cake.the magic of a light fluffy sponge cake with tender crumb is to incorporate as much air in as possible After all, it is entrapped air that expand in the oven. Creating the magic of the cake rising that can happen after it's out of the oven. If there is little raising agent or it is out of tale, there won't be enough gas for a rise maybe my oven is too hot rising happens during the first two third of the baking time, and it's followed by the settings and if it is hot then the outside will set before all the gas has expanded and the cake will not rise. Eggs are the essential ingredients in cake baking, adding too many of them can cause a disaster,if you add too many eggs then it will be spongy rubbery or dense like flour. Eggs build structure in a cake, so they make a cake batter more bonded and tense.
