This recipe was very easy to
This recipe was very easy to make but it didnt come out as a fluffy light sponge cake. I made it into a trifle and it was really good. Definetly needs to be put into trifle and cant be eaten alone.

Kira Roberts thought it was YUMMY
My friends and i enjoyed the cake. It was not as light as a storesponge cake but it did have more flavour. It was a simple recipe that i will use it again. Thankyou Kira Roberts

this recipe isn't the best. The texture was almost like bread however the taste wasn't too bad. I wouldn't make it again.
Delicious!
Great recipe. However, to achieve that thick, store-bought height its probably better to make double the sponge recipe. Yum!

I've finally decided it's too expensive to buy sponge cake to make my christmas trifle, so I gave this recipe a go. TOO EASY!! I always thought sponge cake was hard to make!
I gave it a trial run at a work xmas do, and it was inhaled! Although I have to admit, some of the sponge I soaked with creamed sherry, and some I poured the jelly into the sponge, so it had a great caky/jelly texture. And some of the sponge, I just left without any additions, and poured custard/cream/fruit/set jelly over.
This recipe is tops. Quick, easy and inexpensive. Just what we need for Christmas!!

WHAT A SCRUMMY DELICACY!
This cake was:
1: EASY to cook
2:FUN to cook
3: Thrilling to eat.
Well i am only 11 years old and i baked the cake so it MUST be pretty easy! :D
A little twist
I added some cocoa and made cup cakes with this recipe. Delicious!! Made an even dozen and they were wonderful!!
So Easy!
I just turned mine out to cool! It smells soooo good
I've never made a sponge cake before and I have to say that it was really quick and easy.
I also made it in one tin, makes it even easier!

This recipe is so easy and makes a great sponge cake. I would definately recommend using a spatula to fold through the dry ingredients and egg yolks, because I used a metal spoon and think i 'cut' it too much. It was still light and fluffy but I did it in one tin, not two.
the sponge cake recipe yum yum
great recipe the sponge cake recipe was easy and very yum yum
3.5 stars
Definatly was easy, but i suppose so is every sponge cake recipe. it wasnt a light fluffy cake but more of a heavier texture and i could definatly taste the egg, i didnt divide the mixture and i put cream and jam on the top instead of the middle and it was only about 4cm high cooked so i recommend doubling the mixture to make a nice sized cake, but other than that pretty yummy and i would rate it 3.5-5 :)
