Vanilla Sponge Cake
Sponge cake is a cake based on flour (usually wheat flour), sugar, and eggs, sometimes leavened with baking powder, that derives its structure from an egg foam into which the other ingredients are folded. The sponge cake is thought to be one of the first of the non-yeasted cakes. Vanilla Sponge cake is perhaps the most common variation produced. Other than being eaten as it is, it is also essential as the base for a variety of other cakes especially for mousse based products.
