Simple sponge cake recipe with a twist - Különleges piskòta tèszta

I reverse engineered (or at least I think I did) the sponge cake they are selling at the corner bakery for an upsetting price.

Spice up all your sponge cake recipes with this little trick :)
For fruity cakes, you can add lemon zest in the dough, for chocolaty ones replace 1 tablespoon flour with one tablespoon cocoa powder.

this looks amazing! I will try it out tomorow. I have a question however; no butter?

[Schoko84]

@PandaScribbles Nop, no butter, no oil! And thanks to this, the cake has a very very fluffy and light texture! However, do take into account that the cake will not rise too much! (As in, it will rise, but most of it will deflate, once you remove it from the oven) - see @gittful's comment. So, make sure that the the thickness of the batter in your pan of choice, will be good for the thickness you need for your actual cake (hope this made some sense...)

[PandaScribbles]

@Schoko84 It made perfect sense. Thankyou for the quick and detailed reply! (:

@PandaScribbles Your very welcome! Have fun baking tomorrow, and good luck with this recipe! :)

[gittful]

thank you fur the 'PANCAKE' recipe ..tried teh same thing and teh whole thing deflated ..turned out to b a successful pancake !!!

[Schoko84]

@gittful sorry for the deflate part... It does that once you take it out of the oven, so if you don't have a thick enough layer of batter in your baking pan, it will, most likely, turn out to be a pancake. Sometimes I spread it in a square shape, and when it's done, spread chocolate (Nutella), marmalade or anything else on it, roll it up, and you have a yummy desert!!! Sorry again, but glad you liked your ... pancake... :(

@LAZUI777 correction is now visible!!! (for me at least) So, apparently it's not enough to make the annotation on youTube (as in to hit "Save") you also have to "publish" your changes... great 8-|

[LAZUI777]

umm, Just FYI, your correction on the baking powder instead of baking soda did not update, wouldn't want our fellow bakers to waste their ingredients, recipe looks like its good =)

@houchi69 Thank you for your kind words!

I am really not a specialist in backing (though i love it very very much!!!!). This recipe (without the crunchy crumb crust) was given to me by a friend, who called it "wet sponge cake" or "watery sponge cake". I really like it because it's so fluffy and light!!! You can fill it with anything and it (almost) always comes out perfect.

I also have a video about a "chocolate crunch cake" (actually ganache and praline...): you might like that video also.
