\"Easy<\/p>\n

A simple but essential recipe: The fluffy and super easy sponge cake<\/strong>, as it’s the base for many cakes. I’ve made many types of sponge cakes, with various measurements, using a bain-marie, without yeast… but this one is the best in all aspects. It’s fluffy, airy, and nicely tall, perfect for 3 layers.<\/p>\n

The recipe is very simple and quick to make.<\/p>\n

EDIT 2020:<\/strong> Check out my new recipe for a very tall sponge cake, over 10 cm high. I told you that I never stop researching to improve a recipe and achieve an excellent result. I think I’ve found the gem. Those who follow me have seen and tested the recipe on YouTube. It’s the foolproof very tall sponge cake<\/a>, and also the very tall chocolate sponge cake.<\/a><\/p>\n

You can stick with the recipe I give you here, which is excellent as well. As you can see, it gives a very good result and you can slice it into 3 layers.<\/p>\n

In the following video, all the work is done with a stand mixer, but you can easily use a simple hand mixer. The recipe is designed for a 24 cm diameter and 6 cm high sponge cake, but I also give you the quantities for an 18 cm by 8 cm pan as well as for a chocolate sponge cake.<\/p>\n

Please be forgiving about the video quality, it was from my early days: I filmed it with my phone, using only one hand!<\/p>\n
