Sponge Cake Recipe


Sponge Cake Recipe
Sponge can be used for so many different desserts. Wrap well and freeze for when needed. I use this sponge for the Lemon Carousel Cake, can be used for trifle, or layer cakes...the list is endless.

What are all those funny measurements?

Better give the weight in grams and dont use abbreviations people dont understand.
How much is 2T of water


you write about:
Slowly add 1/2c plus 2T of sugar
Ingredients say 2T of water and you use 2T of sugar?
If you were just less sloppy with your descriptions.
