Simple Sponge Cake step by step
- Heat an oven to 180c..
- Grease a round spring form tin with butter. This stops the sponge from sticking to the tin..
- Sift the dry ingredients into a bowl. Add the rest of the ingredients and mix it all together until combined..
- Add the mixture to the greased tin and transfer to the oven. Bake for 25-40 minutes. My oven isn't great so took roughly 40 minutes to bake through. I pricked it with a cocktail stick from around 25 minutes onwards every five minutes or so to make sure it was baked through and that I didn't over cook it..
- Allow to cool in the tin for 15 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack..
- Allow to completely cool before cutting in half, add any filling you like. I used a sweet egg mixture (see link for recipe below). Decorate the top of the cake and sides with the same mixture. Decorate the top of the cake how you prefer. I just used chocolate chips for the top of this cake..
