Cooking Instructions
- 1
° Mix everything in the Microwave Sponge Cake section with whisk. ° Leave no lumps.
- 2
Spray your ramakins with an olive oil or butter spray.
- 3
° Fill ramakins 1/2 way to their tops. ° Cover ramakins tightly with cling wrap. ° Poke 4 holes in the cling wrap with a toothpick.
- 4
° One ramakin at a time - microwave each cake for 55 to 60 seconds. ° Check at 50 seconds on your first try. ° 55 seconds consistently does the trick for me in a newer 1100 watt microwave.
- 5
° While sponge cake is still warm, using the blade of a butter knife - gently pull cake from your ramakins sides. ° Turn ramakins over and gently release your cakes on to a plate and allow them to cool covered with cling wrap. These cakes will dry out quickly if not covered.
- 6
Break these cakes up in pieces or dish your cakes up any way YOU desire. Get creative!

° You can use a self rising flour but know it will create a smoother cake finish [see last photo below] than the AP flour would. It's the AP flour that gives this cake it's spongy look. However, the absorbency and sweet taste are ultimately identical with self rising. ° If choosing to use a larger ramakin as pictured below, you'll need to microwave for about 90 seconds + until cake is done.
- 8
° If you're interested in the Strawberry Shortcake and sauce pictured above: It's 10 large crushed strawberries, water [as needed], Sugar In The Raw or sugar [to taste] and 1/4 tsp lemon zest. ° There's also a large dollop of high end - quality Strawberry Jam at the base of each glass. ° Mix 1 tablespoon corn starch + 1 teaspoon water very well and add it to your simmering strawberries to thicken your sauce - if desired. ° Drizzle sauce over sponge cake. ° Add sliced fresh strawberries and Cool Whip to taste.

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

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 -

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 -
