Soft and Fluffy Sponge Cake
cookpad.japan @cookpad_jp
I bake this every year for Christmas and birthdays, but a 18 cm pan wasn't big enough, so I tried baking in a 21 cm pan.
I wrote in Step 5 how to mix in the butter and milk into the batter, but if you've followed the recipe exactly, you can add it directly to Step 4. However, there's a high possibility that the batter would sink, so it's best to keep the two steps separate. Recipe by ko-ko

- 1
Line the bottom of the mold with parchment paper. There's no need to line the sides unless you don't have a cake knife for easy removal. Preheat the oven to 180°C.
- 2
Combine the butter and milk in a bowl, then place the bowl in hot water (hot water bath). Once the butter has melted, leave the mixture in the bowl as is. Sift the cake flour and set aside.
- 3
Add the soft light brown sugar to the eggs, and then add to the mix in the hot water bath. Whisk until the batter is pale and thick (the photo is still in the progress).
- 4
Remove the mix from the hot water bath halfway through and continue to whip. Continue until the batter reaches ribbon stage. In the final stage, mix at low speed to allow the batter to form the desired consistency.
- 5
Next add in the vanilla oil, sift in the cake flour once more, and gently mix by scooping the batter up from the bottom and turning over.
- 6
Add two ladles of the batter from Step 5 into the dissolved butter and milk from Step 2, blend together, and mix it back into the Step 5 mixture (this method is foolproof).
- 7
Gently mix, and pour into the mold. Rap the pan against your work surface to remove any air bubbles, and lightly mist with water. Set the oven to 180°C for 25 minutes and bake.
- 8
This is about 8 minutes into the baking. This is as much as it will rise up. Once it turns golden brown cover with aluminium foil, reduce to 170°C, and bake for the remaining 17 minutes.
- 9
It is done once a wooden skewer inserted into the cake comes out clean. Drop the cake from small height to prevent shrinking.
- 10
It is ok to remove it from the mold straight away. Cover in plastic wrap and let sit for a day to let the flavours meld. You can slice it into 3 layers.
- 11
Use 3 eggs, 85 g cake flour, 80 g light brown sugar, 20 g butter, and 30 g milk to make an 18 cm version of this cake.
- 12
This is a decorated version of the cake that I made for my eldest son's 15th birthday Bisque Cake.

This is the cake I made for my second son's 13th birthday.

Fluffy Sponge Cake
This is a sponge cake I've made for a long time. If you would like a chocolate sponge cake, reduce the flour by about 10 g and add about 20 g of cocoa.Step 1: If using an electric mixer, beat on high speed until you can draw an S on the surface of the batter, about 1-2 minutes.Step 4: If the temperature of the melted butter is too high, it will remove all the air from the batter and result in a deflated cake.

Moist and Fluffy Sponge Cake
I wanted to quickly make a tall, moist, and fluffy sponge cake and I finally did it!! It's even taller than I thought it'd be. I hope you give this a try.When making the meringue, it's important to set the speeds on the electric mixer exactly as I have written. Once you add the flour, quickly mix it all up. Recipe by Piyoppi
Fluffy and Moist Sponge Cake
I experimented with various ratios of the dry ingredients and finally came up with this sponge cake.If you raise the temperature of the egg mixture too high before you whip it, you will end up with a lot of air bubbles and the batter will be lumpy. So cool it down if it's too hot. If you have a thermometer, check the temperature of the butter before you add it to the batter. This process has an impact on the shape of the cake when it's baked (the dome on top falls depending on the temperature of the batter). Recipe by Shi-chan
Fluffy Basic Sponge Cake
I modified another recipe of mine to make this cake.After pouring the batter into the pan in Step 3, drop the pan at a height to release the air bubbles.The baking time will differ according to your oven.Make sure the parchment paper is higher than the sides of the pan. Recipe by bvivid
Moist and Fluffy Cocoa Sponge Cake
Through a lot of trial and error, I came up with my own recipe for cocoa sponge cake. The scent and flavor of the cocoa made this cake come out just the way I wanted it.The cocoa might clump, so make sure you sift very well. When you add the flour, mix in cutting motions to fold it in. Recipe by Maimama
Fluffy and Moist Chocolate Sponge Cake
I arranged my fluffy and soft plain sponge cake to make this chocolate sponge. I added honey and starch syrup, and adjusted the amount of fat so as to make a fluffy and moist, but not dry sponge cake.You have to beat the eggs well, but do not beat too much. After that, the texture must be made fine with a hand mixer at a lower-speed. Fold in the mixture using a spatula with a cutting motion and rotate your bowl against the direction of the spatula. Do not over-mix but make sure the cocoa liquid is combined evenly. After mixing, the volume of the batter may drop, but do not worry. When it bakes, it will rise. Recipe by Lesser Panda
Moist and Fluffy Sponge Cake (Genoise Sponge Cake)
I had a long history of messing up sponge cakes.In Step 4, if the bain-marie cools down, make sure to bring it back to approximately 60℃. You shouldn't mix too much in Step 10, but if you don't mix it just right, the batter will sink. You could use regular A4 sized printing paper instead of parchment paper. Recipe by Rearea cheese
Moist and Fluffy Matcha Sponge Cake
I made this matcha sponge cake to make a matcha dome cake.If the warm water to warm the milk and butter cools down, make sure to bring it back to approximately 60℃. You shouldn't mix too much at step 10, but if you don't mix it just right, the butter will sink. You could use regular letter paper instead of parchment paper. For 18 cm [7.1 in] cake pan.

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
Fluffy Genoise Sponge Cake
I failed several times, but it finally took shape. This is a recipe that turns out nice and fluffy.If you coat the mold with lots of butter, then you will be able to remove it cleanly from the mold, so I recommend using a lot. After sprinkling with flour, please thoroughly shake out the excess. After mixing the eggs into the flour, please stir sufficiently. Do it thoroughly and properly. If it's well-whipped the air bubbles will not pop. For 18 cm [7.1 in] round mold. Recipe by Kkmamacchi
Light and Moist Sponge Cake
One day, I found a moist sponge cake at a pastry shop that was just to my liking.I wanted to make it myself, so this is a recipe I came up with through trial and error.- You can change this into a cocoa sponge cake by swapping out 5g of the 55g of cake flour with cocoa powder.- You can use margarine in place of the butter. (You can omit both in a pinch.) Recipe by Kubokki-
Easy for Everyone: Fluffy Sponge Cake
I wanted to make a fluffy sponge cake...Make a firm meringue and always sift the flour. Recipe by Nori x nori
Moist & Fluffy Swiss Roll Sponge Cake
I looked up a lot of recipes and I tried different quantities. In the end, this is the "perfect" recipe that I arrived at. My sponge cakes have never failed ever since!-By using a hand whisk, not a plastic spatula, the flour and egg mixture will mix nice and evenly. Do not mix vigorously. Incorporate as much air as possible by making use of the wires of the whisk to whip through the mixture.-When you cool the sponge cake, wrap tightly with cling film. When you peel off the film the brown skin of the sponge will stick to the cling film and you'll be able to give it a nice golden brown color to both sides of the cake. If you wrap with cling film after it's completely cooled, the film shouldn't stick anymore, so do this before it cools completely. For one 28 x 28 cm [11.0 x 11.0 in] baking sheet.

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
Sponge Cake
This sponge cake is leavened only by the eggs, with no baking powder or other leavening agent.Here I topped it with almond slices, but the possibilities are endless. It's the easiest/most basic sponge cake so feel free to top it with anything you have available. 👩🍳
Egg-Free Fluffy Sponge Cake
I really wanted my daughter who is allergic to eggs to be able to eat a decorative fluffy sponge cake.Egg-free cakes tend to be chewy and heavy rather than fluffy so I tried aiming for a cake that's fluffy but not dried out.I added in cocoa to cover up the taste of the baking powder. If you're making a decorated one, though, with other ingredients topped on it, you could also try preparing it without the cocoa.When you add the vinegar at Step 5, the batter will begin to expand quite quickly so please mix it in and get the batter in the oven as quickly as possible.
