Serving Suggestion:
Sponge cake is a Tea Time winner. Sponge Cake can be sliced and served with Jam. Or it can be topped up with butter cream and made into a Birthday Cake or an Anniversary Cake. This cake can also be served as a dessert. Another option is that this cake can be had with fresh fruits or fruit sauces and a scoop of ice-cream.
Tips:
- After Beating the eggs and foaming up the egg mixture do not leave it idle for more time or the air incorporated into the eggs might escape and you may not get the desired cake.
- Baking time completely depends on the Microwave used and the Size of the Baking tray used. Hence read your microwave usermanual carefully before you start baking.
- Adding Vanilla Essence with the eggs removes the eggy flavour from the cake.
