Discover how to make this foolproof soft sponge cake. An easy and quick cake to prepare that will serve as a base for all your sweet creations: log cake, birthday cake. This family-friendly vegetarian recipe made with egg whites and yolks, sugar, and flour will delight everyone.
Equipment To make this recipe, you need a machine that allows you to add ingredients gradually without having to stop everything and open a lid each time. The secret to successfully making this sponge cake is the speed of execution.
Preparation of equipment and ingredients Prepare everything you will need before you start, butter the mold (I used a 25 cm diameter mold) and weigh the ingredients. Preheat the oven to 180° (th6).
Mix the ingredients. Combine the yeast with the flour. Separate the egg whites from the yolks and whip the egg whites with a pinch of salt until they are firm. When they are firm, add the sugar and beat again. Lower the mixer speed and add all 4 yolks at once, followed immediately by the flour and yeast.
Pour the mixture into the mold and bake. Stop the mixer very quickly so that the preparation doesn't have time to deflate. Pour into the mold, smooth the surface, and immediately place in the oven for 20 minutes. I set my gas oven to medium heat.
Unmolding Remove from the mold while warm and wait for the cake to cool before cutting it in half and filling it.
To finish, I make it with strawberries, hmm!
