Introduction of Sponge Cake

INTRODUCTION OF SPONGE CAKE itseLf... hehe

People label me as unshortened cake so does my sister, the Angel food cake. They label us as that because we are made without any fat. So we are light and spongy!!! Ohh.. and we’re consider as the healthier choice as compared to our cousins the shortened cakes. Some of my cousins are butter cake, pound cake and fruitcake etc.. Enough about them. People all around the world called me Sponge cake.. I am quite famous yo'll… I am light and I have a delicate structure that relies completely on steam and air through beating/whisking eggs and folding in flour. Air is incorporated into the foam and batter. This allows the formation of small air bubbles. . So that I am able to rise and fly..hehe okay not fly but rise when you put me in the oven.


THAT'S ALL FOLKS!!

DO CHECK OUT FOR THE UPCOMING POSTING WHERE MY CREATER, CHEF SHAHIRAH WILL REVEAL MY PICTURE..... =)





Leavening agents in sponge cake are physical leaveners: - AIR & STEAM
Beaten eggs are the major leavening agent which lightens and softens the finished product.
