how do you make a sponge cake?

[4getmenot]

and hail men only do bbqs because they like to p1ss about with fire

[tiggerblue10]

I would also add some Vanilla Extract to Redcrx's recipe.

[daniela31]

or you could add some cocoa powder and choc chips for a choc chip choc cake.

[daniela31]

say that when you have had a few......................lol.

[redcrx]

as tigger says, vanilla can be added, or swap some flour for cocoa
or add a coffee flavour, or colour, or choc chips

you can do all sorts with the basic recipe

[rinkins]

Hey Red...how do you do the choc chip thing without them all sinking to the bottom? Is there a trick to it?! Cup cakes not a problem but not sure about one big sponge.

Go to the shop and buy one noknow. Much easier.

[4getmenot]

Or make a multicoloured cake put mixture in different bowls and add food colouring then put each into baking tin and swirl round

[4getmenot]

huh play about with fire

[rinkins]

I won't risk it then! I'll stick to the cup cakes!

[flyingpig]

This is the one I make, never had a failure yet.
6 ozs self raising flour
6 ozs margarine
6 ozs sugar
3eggs
1and a half teaspoons of baking powder.
Slightly beat the eggs then put everything into a mixing bowl and with a mixer beat for about 2 minutes, takes a lot longer by hand. Divide the mixture into two 8" tins, I always weigh the tins with the mixture in so as to get two equal size sponges. Bake in a preheated oven at 350 degrees F or 180 degree C for about 25 - 30 minutes. Sandwich together with jam or butter cream.

Treat yourself to the book Fast Cakes by Mary Berry
