A very easy to prepare sponge cake recipe that I've been baking for 20+ years. A favourite with everyone. Ingredients:
1/2 teaspoon vanilla essence |
3/4 cup cornflour |
3/4 cup caster sugar |
1 tablespoon custard powder |
4 eggs |
1/2 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda |
1 teaspoon cream of tartar |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 180C (350F).
2. Grease and flour two round 20 cm (8 ) cake tins using 1 teaspoon castor sugar and 1 teaspoon flour mixed together.
3. Sift dry ingredients together 3 times.
4. Separate egg whites from yolks carefully making sure no yolk is mixed into the white.
5. Beat whites with a pinch of salt until stiff peaks form.
6. Gradually add sugar and yolks one at a time. Add vanilla.
7. Gently fold in the dry ingredients until just barely mixed through.
8. Pour evenly into the 2 tins.
9. Bake for 20-25 minutes.
10. Turn out to cool on racks immediately.
11. When cool, sandwich with jam and whipped cream. Ice and decorate top.
