Tatyana, i applaud this recipe. Never in my life i have done such an easy to follow, short to the point and such a successful sponge cake. Thank you so much, you made my day. And how cool is that your video is almost 8 minutes long, exactly the same amount of time it takes to beat the eggs with sugar. So while i was standing with my hand mixer, i reviewed your recipe all over again. ❤️👍👍👍
Wonderful!! I'm so glad you found my tutorial! This has been my go-to recipe for many years. My mom's recipe :)

Love your vids! One question, if I just want to make one cake, would I just cut the measurements in half?
So glad to hear that! :) Yes, you can absolutely cut the recipe in half.
TatyanasEverydayFood Thank you so much! The cake turned out AWESOME AND AMAZING! Definitely making it again! Awesome recipe!
Thank you so much for the cake recipe I have one Question please two Bacon's a cake in the oven I should put it at what number 190 or 200 or more please let me know thax again
Hi! I recommend baking the cake at 350F or 177C.
TatyanasEverydayFood thank you so much
Hi , thank you for sharing. Can I use this cake for tres leches?
Hi! You're welcome! Yes, this sponge cake will be perfect for tres leches :)
So moist and delicious 💞
Thank you 😋
It's a very nice video👍
Hi just wondering what the temperature if using fan forced oven one. Thanks
Hi! You'll want to adjust the temperature down by 25F, so 325F. Enjoy!
I've made this cake about 10 times now. I love that you don't have to separate the yolks from the whites. That tip about the sponge having an eggy smell is really interesting, I applied your suggestion and it made a big difference. Thankyou. I must say I halved the quantity of sugar and the cake wasn't missing anything. Also, when the cake came it of the oven the first couple of times i made it, I ran a knife around the edge like you said but it tore up the edges every time and made the cake deflate a little, regardless of how careful I was. So I made a square cake and used a large rectangular sheet of baking paper like a sling coming up and over the sides of the cake pan and it worked really well. I just pulled it out with the edges of the sling.. on one occasion I forgot that you said not to butter the pan. I found that it didn't cause any problems so I've been buttering and using baking paper and it comes out really easily. Thanks for all your amazing videos 🤩 ...oh and I've never used baking powder in it.
So glad you enjoy this recipe! Thank you so much for sharing your parchment paper tip! :)
Natalie Fontana hey, does the cake rise when you use baking paper all over the sides? I am running into the same problem. Every time I run my knife through, it ruins the sides. I was thinking of putting baking paper on all the sides of my tin but I’m scared it won’t rise.
@@debrageorge8546 I'm gonna sound like nerd here. Technically a sponge cake doesn't rise while cooking in the oven because the whipped eggs have already worked their magic, but yes it works like a charm. Everything stays nice and puffy and you wont tear up the edges.
Natalie Fontana I just saw your reply. I ended up going ahead with it yesterday, and you’re right it worked so much better! I wish I would have done it sooner! Thank you so much for the reply!!
I have been making this sponge for the past 40 years, used the sponge then for baked Alaska. Then birthday cakes for my children with fruit and cream.
It's the best sponge cake!! :) My mom has been making it for more than 30 years, too!
@@TatyanasEverydayFood it's really the best, I've been thinking of using the sponge to make a black forest gateau
Oh well, my weekend is sorted. Apart from studying, to calm my nerves I will be using your recipe to make the sponge for my mango cake.
Perfect! I love your plans! I use this for my mango cake, too. Enjoy and have fun baking :)
I had a small query , I don't have an oven toster grill but instead of that i have a convection microwave, will it turn out well? The sponge i tried didn't rise up well and got hard and dry after making it into a pastry (or did i over mix the batter?) And can you tell the temperature and timing i have to set in the convection microwave?
Hi! I'm so sorry, I don't think this recipe would work in a microwave. I've never tried it before in anything other than an oven...
Hi I tried your cake and it turn out deliciously so can u help with measurements for big rectangle cake
Hi! I'm so glad you enjoyed the recipe! What size pan do you want to use?
This videos are amazing. I usually prefer recipes with ingredients given in grams but with your videos I overlook that. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you! :) I have the metric measurements on my website for most of my recipes! :)
TatyanasEverydayFood awesome! I’ll check it out. Thank you ❤️
If I wanted to make this in an angel food cake pan, would I double the recipe? And would the oven temp. and baking time need to change?
Hi! You will not need to double the recipe, as this recipe makes quite a bit of batter. Bake at 350F. You'll need to bake for longer, maybe 27 to 30 minutes?
Thanks so much, Tatyana. I've always been afraid to try to bake this cake, but you make it look so easy so I thought I'd give it a go. I hope it's as good as my Nonna's. I'll let you know the results.
Thank youuuuuuuuuu 😩🙏🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾😅
Made this cake today!!!!!! So good! MOIST
Awesome! I'm so glad you enjoyed the recipe!
....so easy this cake....was a child when I started to bake this with a nice caramel cream, before sprinkled the sponge cake with lemon juice...and grated bitter chocolate on the top....now I bake it with minced nuts and 2 table spoon of bread crumbs...is a very nice light cake....more lighter than with wheat four...then the cream...whatever cream you want...that has an other recepie....
I'm so glad you enjoy it! That cake sounds delicious!
Thank you for such a helpful video and all the tips. I want to ask what happens if the eggs are beaten too long until they have gone beyond ribbon stage and resemble more of a meringue?
it's gonna likely fall in the middle.
nowzeca thank you for letting me know :)
@@anl3020, you're very welcome. :)
Thank you so much tatyana for posting. I've been trying to bake sponge cake for about 3 weeks now and keep failing, the cake keep falling in the middle, i can't wait to try this recipe #fingerscross am so glad. Thanks
Oh, no!! :( You got this! Hope you enjoy this recipe! :)
Hi how are you... i tried your recipe just now every step down to the T and it snuck! can you help me and tell me why that happen? Please
same
@@sarahsleiman7933 something is off lol I still figuring it out
lmaoo
Hi Tatyana , can I use cake flour instead of all purpose flour in this recipe? Will the recipe change if cake flour is used?
Hi! Yes, you can use cake flour instead. You will need to add an additional 2 tablespoons of flour. That's it! Enjoy :)
I tried it was great thanks
Glad you liked it! :)
Pls can you add a video on how to make ice cream pls pls
really how much love you im from Ethiopia
I have just made a sponge with another recipe. My fault. Will definitely use this recipe next time. Thanks for your time and effort.
You are so welcome! Hope you enjoy this version
hey Tatyana can i use this recipe for funfetti cake?
Hi! I would recommend using my Easy Vanilla Cake recipe for a funfetti cake: tatyanaseverydayfood.com/recipe-items/simple-vanilla-cake/
Hi I really like the way you told every single thing could you please tell me where did you get from these baking pans?
Hi! The baking pans are by Fat Daddios. You can find them online on Amazon :)
It’s 8x3?
@@sanimalik9356 Mine are 8x2 :) both sizes will work!
Thanks 😊👍👍
Enjoy! :)
Hi Tatyana,I am new in to baking,what is the substitution for egg in the cakes and cookies? as I don't eat eggs.
Hi! For this sponge cake recipe, you unfortunately cannot replace the eggs. In most other recipes, you can use applesauce or even pureed avocado to replace the eggs. Bob's Red Mill also sells a really great egg replacement product that works well for baking :)
@@TatyanasEverydayFood thank you:)
Hi Tatyana can I freeze the sponge cake?
Hi! Yes, you can! Just let it cool completely, wrap it well in plastic wrap, then place into a ziplock bag and into the freezer.
Hi Tatyana I wanted to make a big big can I use a big baking pan and double the recipe and just used one big pan instead of devidingbit in two pans
Hi! What size pan are using? You can prepare a double batch. I don't recommend overfilling the pans since the middle might not bake all the way through and set.
@@TatyanasEverydayFood hi thanks so much for your reply I’m using 10 inch by 3 1/2 pan
Thankyou
Fantastic
Thank you so much 😀 Enjoy!
Thanks
I have tried this recipe many times thank you so very much I love it however my cake seems to come out way too light and fluffy even seems to have holes on the side am I under mixing please let me know thank you I try to make this every weekend so I’d love an answer thank you very much
Hi Grace! I'm glad you're enjoying the recipe. Perhaps you're over beating the eggs and making them too fluffy? If that happens, you can flatten the eggs slightly when adding in the flour. Hope that helps!
I will try that
How would this taste if I used this cake to make a tres leche cake ? Would it work out ? Thanks (:
This is the cake I use for tres leches! It's great for absorbing all the milk mixture!
Would I use same baking time for 6 inch pans?
It depends on how much batter you add into the pans. Bake until the tops are a rich, golden color and the center springs back when lightly tapped.
Good
Hi! I hope you can answer me. Does it store well in the fridge overnight so I can frost and eat it the next day ?? thank youu
Hi Wendy! Yes, you can absolutely store this in the refrigerator. I recommend allowing the cake to cool, then covering it well with plastic wrap so it doesn't dry out. Enjoy! :)
@@TatyanasEverydayFood aw thank you so much for replying !!
@@TatyanasEverydayFood I just bake them and I don't know what happened they didn't rise as big as yours! They are both half the size :( Already like that straight out of the oven
Hi tatyana, can i add a Cocoa powder and turn this recipe into choco sponge cake? How many cocoa powder should i add to this recipe? Thank you :)
Hi! Yes, you can absolutely make a chocolate version! I recommend adding 1/3 cup dark cocoa powder.
Hi...can u pls teach us how to bake dried cranberry cakes and cupcakes
Hi! :) That sounds delicious! :)
I am going to try this recipe. I have "tried" making sponge cakes in the past and they have failed every time. I have been scared to try again. But I desperately want to make a gorgeous and delicious strawberry shortcake trifle, and I know sponge cake is the best for that. I was not wanting to cheat and use pound cake or angel food cake.
Wish me luck.
I will come back and let you know how it turns out.
I'm so glad you found my recipe! I hope it works out well for you! I recommend baking the sponge cake until it's a rich golden color; this way, the sponge structure will be set and won't fall flat.
can i bake the sponge cake one at a time? because my oven is too small for the two 8'nch cake pan.
Thank you and more power to you Ms.Tanyana!
stay safe wherever you live…
Yes, that will work just fine! :) Enjoy!
Is it ok to use fondant with this cake? Thanks
Yes, if you're using a buttercream frosting. The frosting needs to be stable
@TatyanasEverydayFood thank you. Which buttercream recipe would you recommend? Thank you
@@taniyartischeva5483 I would go with either French or Italian meringue buttercream. I have both of those and many more here: tatyanaseverydayfood.com/category/recipes/dessert/back-to-cake-basics/
@@TatyanasEverydayFood thank you very much.
Sorry to comment again. But instead of two round pans, would this work in a jelly roll pan? Will it work in just one? Or will I need 2?
Thanks
Hi! Yes, this recipe works great in a jelly roll pan. I usually use one, 13x18-inch sheet pan.
@@TatyanasEverydayFood thank you!
I am romanian, and my mom and other women do cake layers by this method, buut make this sponge cake with oil and leave out the baking powder and you will see the difference. It will rise very beautifull
Thanks for sharing!
@@TatyanasEverydayFood i hope it will help you! #staysafe, #stayhome
Hey!
I just have one query why these sponge cakes look deflated from the top. I baked one and while in the oven it was rising but after taking out it deflated and looked exactly like yours.
They deflate a little bit after coming out of the oven. For a really level top, try inverting them onto a wire rack and let them cool that way :)
For some reason, when turning out my sponges, it was stuck to the sides. :( I didn’t grease it as you stated; I simply lined the bottom of the cake tins. How do I avoid this next time?
The recipe is so easy and tasty; I just seemed to have ruined the shape!
So sorry about that happening! :( The sides to stick the cake pans. I always run a knife along the edges of the pan to release the cake as soon as I take it out of the oven. Hope that helps!
Can i use this on tresh leches?
Absolutely! :)
TatyanasEverydayFood thank u 😊
Is the pan your using is 8 x 2 inch ? Please reply
Yes, I'm using an 8-inch round pan with 2-inch sides. Enjoy!
My sponges come out perfect because I really follow the recipe .But I would like to know if I want to use chocolate sponge ,what do I do? How much cocoa maybe half a cup and when ? Can your recipe be used for chocolate sponge?
I'm so glad you enjoy my recipe! Yes, you can definitely make this as a chocolate sponge cake. I recommend adding 1/4 to 1/3 cup dark cocoa powder for maximum chocolate flavor. No need to adjust the other ingredients.
Should it have holes or tunnels in the cooked cake?
Yes, this cake will have holes inside. They should be pretty uniform and not too large.
Hi any suggestion on eggless cakes
Unfortunately, this one cannot be made without eggs. Some of my other recipes however can be made by replacing the eggs with equal amounts of mashed banana, silk tofu, yogurt or applesauce
Yummy 🍰👌🌹
Thank you 😋
Hi love ur channel so much. I just want to know how to adjust the measurement if I want to triple the recipe. Thank u.
Hi! I'm so glad to hear that! :) I would only recommend tripling the recipe if you have an extra-large mixer bowl, otherwise the eggs might start going over the top! You'll also need to take extra care to make sure you incorporate the flour gently into the eggs, scraping from the bottom of the bowl.
Do these sponge freeze well…?
Yes, great for freezing!
What is one cup of flour to grams im England
Hi! I have all my recipes with metric measurements on my website! :)
1 cup is equal to 120 grams of flour
How can I adjust this receipt 10 x 2 inch cake pan please
Hi! If you want to make two, 10-inch cake layers, you'll need to prepare 1 1/2 times the original recipe.
If you want to make just one, 10-inch cake, increase the baking time and bake until the top is golden :)
Do you mean multiply 1,5 original recipe each ingredient ?
Hi Tatyana this cake so good. It's my son's birthday in July he asking for chocolate mirror glaze cake can you help me with this please.....
Hi! Early happy birthday to your son! I have a mirror glaze tutorial already, just use dark chocolate in place of the white chocolate: ua-cam.com/video/VjviBhEDbG4/v-deo.html
@@TatyanasEverydayFood thank you so much 😊
will this recipe work with a handmixer?
Yes, it will! It will just take longer to get the eggs whisked properly :)
I would love to make it but I only have two 9inch cake pans:( Should I half double ingredients??
You can absolutely make this recipe in 9-inch pans, the layers will be slightly thinner. If you want to make thicker layers, you'll need to increase the recipe by a quarter. Enjoy!
@@TatyanasEverydayFood Thank you so much for replying:) Should I add one more egg? or just quarter more the dry ingredients?
Your earlier recipes make this cake without the vanilla and only 3/4 cup of sugar. Did you find this ended up with a better result/Is this the revised recipe?
Yes, I've been using this revised recipe for years now :) I love the addition of vanilla
How much purpose flour did u put it? Including measurements?
Hi! I used 1 cup (125 g) all-purpose flour. I also have the recipe here: tatyanaseverydayfood.com/recipe-items/simple-sponge-cake/
