This is a very simple Sponge cake recipe and you probably have all the ingredients already in sponge cake your pantry. I usually use this for making Mango Cake, Yema Cake, Strawberries and Cream Cake but is also perfect on its own with your favorite jam for coffee or tea time.
Using a spatula or big spoon, gently fold in about a third of the meringue into the egg yolk mixture until well combined. Add the remaining meringue and fold it in gently, scraping the spatula from the bottom to catch any pockets of egg yolk-batter. Stop mixing when no streaks of meringue are visible. Do not over-mix or you will deflate the batter.
05Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Tap the pan on a flat surface several times to make sure that trapped air bubbles are released.
06Bake for 25-30 minutes in the preheated oven or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean and the top is light golden brown.
07Remove from oven and let the cake cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before completely removing from pan to a cooling rack. Remove the parchment paper off the cake and let it cool down before frosting.
