Sponge Cake Recipe

With sponge cake, we have an important base for many cakes or desserts…

The cost is very low; it just requires a lot of patience.

The texture depends on the weight of the ingredients…

We have the light sponge cake, as per the ingredients below

medium sponge cake with 40 grams of flour and sugar per egg used

and heavy sponge cake…with 50 grams of flour and sugar for each egg

To get a good base, use a weak flour for cookies From 160 W to 180 W

The weight of the sugar increases along with that of the flour

I use the sponge cake for layered cakes, fruit cakes, or as a base for Bavarian creams; the possibilities are endless.
