I don’t know if it ever happens to you when you have to draw up a menu for an important lunch or an event, to think about how to pair the dessert with everything you plan to prepare.
I often struggle to decide whether a spoon dessert with a fresh taste is better or perhaps a more intense cake maybe chocolate, or if I should make a cheesecake or… In short, the choice of dessert at the end of a meal is an important moment and today I wanted to experiment with a classic like sponge cake but with whole wheat flour for a more rustic dough that may appeal to many people who share my passion for cooking.
Not to be underestimated is the fact that this cake could become a filled cake with creams and/or fruit and would have a much more intense and aromatic taste.

The choice of cake at the end of a meal should integrate with the other dishes, and for example, if you serve a stew with tomato sauce I think it would be better to bring a dry cake to the table whereas if the main dish is a nice roast, well you can indulge in a creamy filled cake.
If you’re still confused, opt for a refreshing and pleasant sorbet and cut to the chase! But for now, let’s prepare the whole wheat sponge cake …

The sponge cake can be filled but the dough of the 4/4, the Sponge that you can already find on the blog, is also excellent:
