The mixture should be smooth and make the ribbon.<\/li>\n<li>Sift the flour and baking powder (prevents lumps in the batter).<\/li>\n<li>Gently incorporate the flour in at least 3 batches.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<li>Do not open the oven before 3\/4 of the baking time, preferably not before the end of the baking time.<\/li>\n<li>For baking a sponge cake in a small, tall cake pan (for example, 18 cm \u00d7 10 cm \/ 7 \u00d7 4 inches or 15 cm \u00d7 10 cm \/ 6 \u00d7 4 inches), the oven temperature should be low, at 150\u00b0C (300\u00b0F).&nbsp;<\/li>\n<li>For larger cake pan (over 20 cm \/ 8 inch in diameter and shallow),&nbsp; the oven temperature can be set higher, at 180\u00b0C (350\u00b0F).&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Some might be surprised to see me using a whisk to incorporate the flour into the sabayon, as traditionally, a rubber spatula is recommended, and some chefs use a skimmer to mix gently without deflating the mixture. However, I find that the whisk is more practical and simplifies the work when used correctly.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Proceed as follows: Insert the whisk into the mixture, lift it from bottom to top, tapping it occasionally on the side of the mixing bowl. This allows the flour to be distributed without lumps, just like with a skimmer.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-9525 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/gateauetcuisinerachida.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/ge%CC%81noise-chocolat-3..jpg\" alt=\"easy chocolate sponge recipe\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\"><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Which cake mold to use for a very tall cake?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Before, I always had an issue because I could never find a mold tall enough at home for a sponge cake of this height.
