Use cake syrup to moisten it, which is what they traditionally do in Europe. They usually brush it with a cake syrup flavored with a liquor like cognac and rum, or expresso, or an extract like citrus and vanilla. You could also make tres leche cake.
my one wasn't as fluffy as urs :( but im sure it'll survive. it's in the oven right now ill post another comment to tell you how it is in about 30 mins :D
Well I just put my cake in the oven and It didn't go to plan! Lol ! I didn't have an electric mix so I used my hands and after stirring of like 10 mins each I gave up and just put the batter toghter! Oh btw when does the sugar go in?!?
mix first one-third of whites with yolks and then mix it into the remaining whites, it will be more lightly (mix or turn just in one way or you be loosing more "air bubbles")
Ugh i saw this recipe, and despite having a food processor rather than a "mixer with whisk attachment", I thought I would try it. Well the yolks didn't get "creamy" or double it's original volume, and the whites didnt "stiffen". Made the cake and it came out eggy & rubbery. Dont get why they suggest 8 eggs... it totally ruined the cake. So I reverted to the ordinary "normal sponge recipe + food processor + baking powder" method, and the cake was award winning. Goes to prove, if it ain't broke..
@CoteWeatherly yeah i thought using a food processor for THIS recipe would not work - however i don't even think the lack of a proper cake mixer was the main problem... i found the use of 8 eggs was too much, the cake had a really spongy texture. SO as I said, i made another cake, this time I reverted to my good old sponge recipe, used my food processor and my cake came out amazing.
ewwwwws ur hands r soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ugggglllyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwssssssssssssssssssss
I tried this recipe and and I used almond extract to bake the giant cup cape and it turned out great! O, and I didn't use cornflour nor cornflower but used cake flour. Thank you so much for the recipe.
@lazygurl22 well, almost right. chiffon cake is like a lower quality sponge cake. the difference is that a sponge cake is richer. i'm not really sure why though, but i know that much.
@ceciveggie you can but you dont have to i think cause the beat egg whites already act like baking powder.
..also i added the melted butter in my egg yolks after i beat them.. so i dont have to lift my egg whites to often..
cake came out perfect is was so spongee and light it rocked my belly.
used chocolate moose as filling and melted chocolate with some icing sugar mixed for topping...outside was so crispy while the inside was soft so good <3
@Vleesball Thank you! I live by the sea, if I don´t use baking powder my cake would end up as flat as a pizza (it happened to me before), chocolate moose,,,,,,,sounds dellicious. Happy baking and happy new year to you!
thanks so much for this recipe, so concisely explained, i tried it and it worked out perfectly for a first time, i was so happy and thankful you posted this video.
This just complicates things. To make the perfect sponge of that size, weigh 3 eggs. Whatever they weigh, EVERY other ingredient used should weigh the same. Butter and sugar in bowl, beat until pale. Add 1 egg at a time with some of the flour until all 3 eggs and all flour are gone. Done. You want a bigger cake, use more eggs. But make sure every other ingredient weighs the same as however many eggs you are using.
It is kind of strange that this video says you should clean the mixer very well before mising the egg whites. I thought it would be a lot better if you FIRST do the egg whites and THEN the yolks. Since you dont have to clean the mixer after beating the whites..
What is overmixing? How do I know when it is not over mixed?
