EASY SPONGE CAKE

[abmg035]

is it okie to make sponge cake without corn flour, I have every ingredients except cornflour

[CitrineVlogging]

Don't whisk your batter again once you have put the flour in, you might think it will add the air that was lost incorperating the flour but it knocks even more of it out. :)

[alexiswa1234567]

can u use cornmeal?

[AdriansPunk]

I've had food like yours many times but can't remember where... oh yeah, prison!

[TiJayCalma]

just so everyone knows......don't EVER tap on the bowl or pan that contains your cake batter....you will make it loose the air you just incorporated!! but nice job anyway....

[dmanrendon]

i didnt get the measurments properly.......

can please somebody help me with the right measurements??

[Amethyst2499]

I made this cake with my cousin and she was surprised that it only had 5/6 ingredients! It turned out lovely and it tasted so good!! :D

[TheSpeaknoevil]

• Singaporeans pronounce flour as /flɑ:/ instead of /flaʊ-ə/. The dictionary says that both American and British pronunciation is /flaʊ-ə/.

Singaporean teachers pronounce and teach their pupils to pronounce flour as / flɑ:/. And at an oral examination, if this word appears in the reading passage, the pupils who pronounce it correctly are penalised.

I'd like native speakers from England, US, Canada, Australia and New Zealand to reply to prove me right.

[JRSproductions5]

@TheSpeaknoevil So they get penalized for incorrectly speaking the english language. Any teacher that teaches to incorrectly pronounce a word is an incompetant teacher.

[TheSpeaknoevil]

@JRSproductions5 Are you a native speaker of English from the US? 'Flour' is pronouced like 'flower', isn't it? I am a Chinese Singaporean. Almost all Singaporeans pronouce it as /flah/ , thanks to their 'half-baked' English language teachers.

[cleotala]

I dont see anywhere the amount of the ingredients! where are they??

[Verradonairun]

@cleotala

1/3 cup (50g) cornflour

1/3 cup (50g) plain flour

1/3 cup (50g) self-raising flour

4 x eggs, at room temperature

2/3 cup (150g) caster sugar

pinch of salt

[Verradonairun]

[BerryySundae]

[madeitwithlove]

[ThaiPredator]

[HerrXxVorragend]

I actually thought you make a cake out of sponge. Shame on you.You has lied to me.

[uploooood]

@HerrXxVorragend ur a real stupid idiot arent you?

[HerrXxVorragend]

@uploooood You are a idiot cause you cant read the sarcasm out of my comment.

[uploooood]

@HerrXxVorragend I DIDN'T FUCKING KNOW U DUCHE!!!

[HerrXxVorragend]

@uploooood Well but you insulted first. Kid.

[cosyhuddles123]

No electric mixer *

[cosyhuddles123]

[babyOfwinter]

[EllieJelly25]

[John19646]

This cake is verry good always works for me.

[alinaprincess123]

heyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy no butter how on erth d yu make a cakeee wout butturrr

[beverleinichole]

@alinaprincess123 There's no butter because he's making SPONGE cake. If you add the butter you won't get the consistency you want for this kind of cake.

[15heartz]

no butter

[ProserpinaAeternus]

What's the replacement for self raising flour? I don't find it anywhere here in Belgium. Can I replace it with plain flour and baking powder?

[hduffy67]

found the list of ingredients..they were cleverly hidden...and yes it's 2/3 cups sugar...almost had a disaster on my hands...but do I add the pinch of salt to the flour?

[hduffy67]

When you are adding the sugar to the eggs before you beat them you say you are adding 1/3 cup sugar then once you've beaten them you say that you have added 2/3 cups sugar...which is it? I don't get the list of ingredients on the side of the page so I don't how much sugar you actually need...also. other comments mention adding salt but you don't mention it in the video...when do you add that.

[al7ob2000]

Hi

I just want to ask about the salt, did u add the salt into the flour or the egg and sugar? u didn't mention that in the video.

[sellytiny1]

what can use in stead of self-raising flour???????:/

[negativeorange]

@sellytiny1 I think i'd use 100g plain flour (thats the total amount of flour used combined) and add 1tsp of baking powder as thats the raising agent in Self raising flour.

[Squirtle60]

:P Yummy



[memslovesparmoare]

[CryoKatana97]

[ScottishNinjAA]

[nusiratadele]

can someone pls tell me what 1/3 cup is in grams? Need to be able to convert cos am used to grams here in France. Thanks in advance.

[IAREMIKOXP]

@nusiratadele google it.

[bearpaw242]

@nusiratadele 1/3 cup of what? 1/3 cup flour in grams is far different than sugar. You can find internet sites that have standard ingredients already converted, google it.

[itsagirlzlyf]

i think you layered that bad boy with icing sugar and dusted the cake with cream and jam :/

[kentownage]

when i eat sponge cake, then i watch sponge-bob

[limcy1012]

how did u slice the cake so evenly into half without ruining the edges?

[JaJaxha]

Can i add cocoa powder? 

[nuhad26]

@JaJaxha yes u can :) and if you do that, it'll have the strongest tasting cocoa ever! it tastes real good

[mianaivy1292217]

This is great I am going to make one now

[lolibream]

can i use corn meal instead of cornflour



[BirdOfParadise777]

It's just rude to make videos like this- leave out some important information and then not answer a single question! Classy:(

Good thing there are kind commenters willing to help people who are asking YOU questions. You probably never even read any comments!

I just decided that I'm going to look at the comment section of a video first and scan the comments, see if they've taken the time to "reply" to even a few q's- if not, your videos and channel aren't worth my time to click. Who isn't busy?

[babeeshopiez123]

[candieyc]

@babeeshopiez123 OFFENSE

[babeeshopiez123]

@candieyc LOL!

[pimpisa15699]

Don't use a spatula to smooth out but spin... 'spin spin spin "PLOP" Oops dropped my cake tin on the floor... =[ cake ruined

[versatilechicken]

i made this when the eggs were'nt at room temp and it turned out fine

[rosikaable]

very clear instructions and easy to make....love it!

[ladycher007]

@eatenbydinosaurs, don't use whipped cream from a can, make it from scratch the cream will hold up better and not melt away like whipped cream from a can normally does after a few mins.

[nikaicoh12]

@ladycher007 how do you make whipped cream from scratch anyway? please teach me.

[ladycher007]

@nikaicoh12 , use heavy whipping cream and add sugar to taste and beat with electric mixer, until you get a nice fluff.

[ualuuanie]

Can anyone out there please advise me what I did wrong? I followed what he did but my cake inside texture feels like hard rubber instead of being fluffy, why is that so?

[nikaicoh12]

@ualuuanie did you sift it 5times? mixed it carefully?

[ualuuanie]

@nikaicoh12 Doh! nope I only did it once didn't know it matters as I was using a big bowl and I figure since it could take all why seperate it 5 time :p Thanks

[nikaicoh12]

@ualuuanie ^_^' He said that is to let air in the mixture. good luck! :)

[MisturrCronin]

Would all-purpose flour count for both plain and self-raising flour?

[dahbombdokuroaisu]

by the way Nicko. All my American/Canadian friends call it "jam" not "jelly"

[markguevarra22]

ITS A LIE

Ummm here in america we have 2 kinds of people Jam people and Jelly people...I am a JAM person its got more fruit and has a nice spreading consistency where JELLY does not(its messy and has limited flavour and appeal...to me anyway) Just thought you would like to know. Your videos are great!!!! Keep cooking!!!Your wonderful!!!

[eRieshaful]

Uuhm.... do you use Celsius or Fahrenheit in your baking? I'm sorry. I've been watching all your great vids and can't seem to know which one you use.

[pinkeyshort]

@eRieshaful he doesn't reply but it's celcius (: He said before and he's from Australia so they use celcius (:

[rayheyheyhey]

[MasterGiegue]

@mysweettoothbakery

Self raising flower is essential for a cake.

Its what helps it rise.

[Oceanic180]

What is that white bowl-contraption that you use to sift the materials around?

[MasterGiegue]

@Oceanic180

Lol, thats called a Sieve.

Its just made with a plastic rim so it can sit on the rim of a bowl.

You use a Sieve to Sift

[SonnyFlashkicker]

I was looking for recipies on spongecake, so happy I found one made from Nicko. Your videos are soo awesome, probably my favorite channel on youtube!

[ynrd79]

it luks pretty:)

[ukanlosanator]

At 2:50 i dont get how there becomes that much

[ShiningMissy]

@ukanlosanator

Its because when you whip the eggs and sugar, there gets alot of air in the mixture. try it and you will see!

[ukanlosanator]

Any responses will be apprieciatd, Do you need cornstarch?

[shing165]

i made this today!! thanks nicko!

[lewisbrannigan]

@HedleyFan100 lie

[MJINMYHRT]

@higuyzandpeople does your MUM kiss your potty mouth, you bloat

[nashreen55]

all sponge cakes are dry.. if you add butter in it it'll become a genoise (genoese).... it is best accompanied with whipped cream... you can also add some syrup on the sponge cake to wet it

[nashreen55]

all sponge cakes are dry.. if you add butter in it it'll become a genoise (genoese).... it is best accompanied with whipped cream...

[iBrendaaah]

Hi, I did the cake, it tastes really good but it's very compact, not as spongey as in the video and quite dry.. What went wrong? ):

[zindex5]

Thanks for sharing this recipe. I made one exactly from the recipe. It really works well for raising without baking powder or self- raising flour. However, it is quite dry. Would it works better with some oil or butter?

[platinumare]

Yay finally a proper sponge cake without butter, my mum tells me that if you add butter it no longer is a sponge cake, it is a butter cake.

[houchi69]

@platinumare there are actually a lot of recipes on youtube that doesnt use butter.

[TheLaurenl09]

ima try make it im 11 tho ill let all u folks no how it goes kk oh btw chek out pink raise ur glass and f****ing perfect:)

[transformerdude98]

[EveryNina]

This is not a proper sponge cake??? It needs butter!!!!!!!!!!!

[pmabhande]

the cake looks a bit dry :(

[LesChampis]

This is a genoise.

[sillybanz67]

im comin to ur house for dessert!:)

[meatwarrior]

Victoria Sponge easier - equal parts (by weight) of eggs, butter, sugar and SR. Flour. So if you had 3 eggs and they weight 180 grams, then 180 butter, 180 sugar and 180 SR flour. In a large bowl using fork, press the butter into the sugar then beat it till evenly pale, add eggs one at a time beating it in well. Sift the flour 2 or 3 times, then fold in half until smooth, then other half of flour. Divide into 2 seven inch sponge tins and bake 20 mins at 180C gas / 160C fan oven. Prep+cook=30mins

[mandolinic]

@meatwarrior "Victoria Sponge easier" Agreed. And it also tastes nicer.

[Zraluer]

i dunno

[tie4100]

hi,

i have tried baking this songe cake but its not moist like i would love it to be.its actually foamy.Pls is there any reason why its like that?i added baking powder though it was with a self rising flower.could that be the problem?

[pmabhande]

@tie4100 usually self raising flour doesnt need a raising agent like baking powder. this cake looks very dry even the one Nico made :(

[manusdoohan09]

very nice good man

[eatenbydinosaurs]

[RanDomGirL2632]
