Sponge Cake : Make a Genoise or Victoria or Angel Food or another type of sponge cake
Welcome bakers to week 12! This week, we’re diving into the world of… Sponge Cakes!
Many cakes— Genoise, angel, chiffon, joconde —fall into the realm of sponge cake, which is basically a cake made with egg whites, flour and sugar that classically relies on air for leavening. The most basic version doesn’t contain fat, but variations will add it for moisture. Favored for its versatility, sponge cake is tender and bouncy and will soak up the flavors of anything it’s paired with.
Not sure where to start? No worries! Here are some ideas:
Angel Food Cake
Victoria Sponge Cake
Boston Cream Pie
Mamón
From Swiss Rolls, to cupcakes, Trifles, Batterberg, Pandan Cake, Cotton Cake, Tres Leches and foods from all over the world, there are endless alternatives for what to make.
Happy baking!
