How to Make a Sponge Cake - Few cakes are as customizable as simple sponge cakes. Baked
in sheet, cake, or tube pans, they can be dressed up by adding frostings,
icings, and whipped cream, or served simply as a slightly sweet accompaniment
to tea. Sponge cakes rely on well-beaten eggs to give them volume, but you can
modify the texture of a sponge cake by what fat you use. A simple sponge cake
that uses butter can be made in sheet pans or cake pans. It's fluffy, light,
and rolls easily. A chiffon cake relies on oil and uses more flour. This
creates a sturdier cake that can stand up to heavier frostings or buttercream.
Choose a sponge cake, bake it in a pan of your choice, and frost it to make it
your own.
