Baking
Fatless Feathery Sponge Cake
Ingredients
- 3 large eggs
- 75 gr. (3 oz.) caster sugar or vanilla sugar
- 75 gr. (3 oz.) plain flour
- Preheat oven to 170°C
Method
1
Grease and line the base of two 18 cm. (7") round tins with greaseproof paper. Using an electric mixer beat the eggs together with the sugar until the mixture is thick and fluffy.
2
Using a sieve sprinkle approx. one third of the flour over the surface of the beaten mixture and lightly fold in using a rubber spatula or metal spoon in a figure of eight movement. Repeat this twice more, being careful to keep the mixture as frothy as possible. Make sure there are no pockets of dry flour left.
3
Spoon the mixture into the tins, level the surface and bake 20-25 minutes until the sponges are risen and springy to the touch.
4
Allow to cool, run the knife round the side and turn onto a wire rack.
