Sponge Cakes.

Why do my sponge cakes always seem dry ? I use 6flour 6caster sugar 66butter and 3 eggs.

Maybe you are over cooking them. I can't see anything wrong with the recipe it's standard sponge mix.

[Ratty2E]

I think 66 was a typo Trim, at least I hope it was lol

Weigh the eggs first and match that weight with all your other ingredients. The best sponge I ever made was with Bertolli olive oil spread and not butter.

Do you have a fan oven? they recommend that you put them into a cold oven if you do :)

You can always try adding a couple of tablespoons of water/fruitjuice/milk when you add the eggs. A fan oven will dry your cake out more quickly - cook for 5-6 mins less than usual, when it comes away from the side of the tin slightly, it's cooked

I always add a couple of teaspoonsful of glycrine, always moist and keeps fresh longer
