Tips for a sponge cake

To get a sponge cake some ingredients are important and also the way in which we treat them.

• All the ingredients should be at room temperature, especially when it comes to eggs and butter.
• The butter must be worked with ointment texture naturally, that is, not to heat it in the microwave. We must leave it well in advance out of the fridge until it becomes creamy.
• We can substitute the butter for oil, which will make the cake less heavy and will give it more fluffiness. In this case, I recommend using sunflower oil. This provides less flavor than the olive would give it, but that would suit tastes.
• Yogurt, buttermilk or buttermilk or a creme faiche add lightness to the mix compared to milk or cream.
• Use bicarbonate combined with yeast when we include some type of dairy among the ingredients of the preparation of a sponge cake.
• In the case of a chocolate cake, the use of cocoa powder is more recommended than the use of melted chocolate. We would always add it mixed with the flour that we must sift when integrating it.

Tricks in the preparation of the cake

At the time of the process it is important to take into account a series of points:

• Separate the whites from the yolks and beat the whites until stiff. It will give our sponge cake much more fluffiness than if we add the whole eggs.
• We must start beating the yolks with the sugar. Always until we have a whitish cream that will have doubled its volume.
• If we find a recipe that works with butter and starts mixing it with the sugar, we will do the same process as in the case of the yolks and the sugar, we will beat the mixture until we have a bank cream and much more volume.
• When it comes to baking, we shouldn’t go over 180º C. As a general rule, we will get it to cook little by little, making sure that the inside of the cake is perfect.
• What will vary, depending on the type of cake, will be the baking time.

With these simple guidelines, we will surely get a sponge cake perfect for breakfasts and snacks.
