First of then the easiest sponge cake and it never fails.....
You will need ... Two 8 inch cake tins lined,I use an electric mixer to get the most air in this all in one mix, the ingredients are...
5 large fresh eggs,
10 oz self raising flour,
10 oz marg,
10 oz sugar preferably fine,
2 and a half teaspoons of baking powder,
And a flavouring if required I've used vanilla, coffee, jams,juices etc.
Now the easy bit put your oven on now and set a middle shelf ready temp should be 170 deg C, sieve flour and baking powder together in a bowl then add all the eggs and marg and sugar plus any flavouring your using and mix!
It's a thick mix not pourable, split between your cake tins then knock the tins to remove trapped air and place in your preheated oven, bake for 45 mins conventional oven and check my cooking times for a fan I have them on the right for you.
Test the sponge after the 45 mins with a skewer and remove and let cool in the tins for 10 mins, this will let the sponge come away from the tin sides for you.
That's it fill with what you like when cooled but another cake tip, leave it alone! Cover it in a cake stand and dome,box , plastic container etc, tomorrow or in a couple of hours it will be so moist.
