Pictorial/Explanation of making SPONGE CAKE

Preheat oven to 190°C



Sift wholemeal flour



Sift plain flour





This is what you get when you have sifted wholemeal flour. The fine particles (right side) and the coarse flour particles (left side of pic) that cannot be sifted. Keep in mind that both will be used.






Whisk egg & sugar




Add 1tsp of vanilla essence






Mixture is thick and fluffy and leaves a trail when you lift up the whisk after whisking a few mins




Fold in flour bit by bit








Video on how to fold in flour lightly & gently with a spatula. This method is necessary as air is being incorporated into the batter so that the final product will rise.




Grease cake tin using butter or vege oil spray so as the cake can be easily removed from the tin

Pour batter into cake tin



Place cake tin in the center shelf of a preheat oven




After 10-15 minutes, check using a "satay" stick

*To test if the cake is ready, insert the stick to see if it is free from batter.
