Easy sponge cake
Created by All Foods Natural, Monday, 29 October 2007
Description

The best recipe I know for sponge cake is the traditional same quantities of everything, but using heavy cream or whipping cream instead of butter. The cake comes out very light and airy. Using a food processor makes the mixture even more so.

If you are using a food processor, add the flour first, the processor will sift it in a blink, then cream, sugar, and eggs, whisked. Transfer to the baking pan and bake as explained before

This is an easy base for birthday cakes, just bake it into a shaped mold.

Make a sandwich cake by cutting it in half and spreading a generous amount of your favorite jam.

Decorate top with your favorite icing or simply sprinkle some confectioner's sugar.

Do you want a flavored cake? Add fgrac&12; tsp vanilla essence for a vanilla flavor or add ½ tsp ground forestberry for a fruity flavor.

In any shape, with any icing and almost any flavor, it makes a wonderful snack or breakfast with a glass of milk.
