Fig/ Anjeer Sponge Cake
Sponge Cake......perfect for birthday parties of kids. They love it! The sponginess of the cake comes from beaten egg whites and the baking powder added, plus some additional tricks to keep it spongy even after cooling. Here, I have added fig, a seasonal fruit available, but you can try with any other fruit eg. fruits which impart colour to the cake, like strawberry, mango, etc.

Cooking Instructions
- 1
In a large mixing bowl combine the flour, salt, baking powder and mix properly to form an even mixture. Combine ½ cup sugar, egg yolks, oil, vanilla extract, fig puree and whisk vigorously to form a uniform mixture.
- 2
Separate egg whites from egg yolks. Be careful that the yolk doe snot break else you will not be able to prepare the meringue.
- 3
In a clean bowl, take the egg whites and beat them either with a whisk or electric beater to form soft peaks. Now, add 1 tablespoon of sugar and continue beating. Again add 1 tablespoon of sugar and beat till you see firm peaks. This is called meringue.
- 4
Fold 1/3 of the meringue gently with the remaining cake mixture. Do not mix. Mixing will deflate the meringue, i.e. remove all the air that you have incorporated to the egg whites. Then fold the remaining meringue to the mixture gently.
- 5
Preheat the oven to 250°F. Pour the mixture to a baking paper lined pan and bake till a tooth pick comes out clean (approximately 50 minutes depending on oven). You can also use a microwave with convection mode. This cake has a tendency to deflate while cooling. So, I invert the pan till it cools down which results in lesser sinking of the cake.
- 6
Take some sour cream and beat it. Spread the sour cream on the slice of cake. Take a mango. Remove the skin and slice it. Take one slice and then slice it again to thin slices. Gradually, fold the slices in form of rose to make the mango rosette. Drizzle some honey. Enjoy your slice!

Sponge Cake Sponge Cake
I confess that I was really inspired by a book called "A Book That Answers your Why? Questions About Making Sweets" by Kazuyoshi Aihara. I highly recommend you read the book for further details.I reduced the calories of the recipe listed in the book as much as possible.There are 4 important key points; if you do these properly, then you can make a beautiful sponge cake. If you use the same ingredients in the exact same order, then this is the key to not failing in mixing it. If you remember this, then there is nothing to fear. ＊When beating the eggs, please add in vanilla essence if you like. Recipe by Osshosan

My Signature Sponge Cake My Signature Sponge Cake
I was able to make a tall sponge cake, but was unable to make it rich and fluffy...Aiming for a restaurant taste that melts in your mouth, I read several books, took out the best portions, and was finally able to make a recipe I can be satisfied with. I wonder how many times I failed...It took me 10 years since I started making snacks to now to get this far...My husband loves sponge cake, so I wanted to succeed no matter what.①Whip at a low speed in the final stages to settle in the bubbles.②When mixing the flour in, mix it well without getting nervous. It's fine as long as you don't mix it like you're kneading it.③Stacking 2 pans together and baking it in a hot water bath will make it rich. If you don't have 2 pans, then place a heat-resistant container larger than the mold into the pan with the hot water, and then place the mold into that.④After baking, wrap it up in the mold with plastic wrap to strongly prevent it from drying out! For 18 round mold. Recipe by Sui-tousagi -
Sponge Cake Sponge Cake
While at technical college, I came up with this recipe and reworked it for home use.Please be sure to mix the egg while warming it. If you do not, the egg will harden.Also, be careful not to over-stir the batter after adding the butter and milk. Take care not to crush the air bubbles you worked so hard to whisk in when mixing in the other ingredients. Recipe by Naginagi
