12 Layer Vanilla Sponge Cake
fenway @Fenway
This is a beautiful cake and looks complicated but it is really very easy. It's a straight forward vanilla sponge cake portioned out in thin layers in 12 pans. I just used foil pans . The whipped chocolate filling and chocolate glaze are also quick and simple. Best of all this cake is so delicious and always a surprise when you make the first cut to reveal all the layers!

MAKE CAKE LAYERS
- 2
Preheat oven to 350. Spray 12 - 9 inch cake pans well with bakers spray. I used foil pans as I don't have 12 cake pans
- 3
Seperate eggs. Put yolks in 1 large bowl and whites in another large bowl. Let stand, covered to come to room temperature, at least 30 minutes
- 4
Whisk flour, baking soda and salt in bowl, set aside
- 5
Beat egg yolks with buttermilk, 2 cups of the sugar and vanilla until light and increased in volume, 5 to 8 minutes. Beat in reserved flour mixture just until well blended
- 6
With clean, dry beaters, beat egg whites and cream of tarter until foamy and increased in volume
- 7
Gradually add remaing 1/4 cup sugar until glossy firm peaks form
- 8
Add 1/4 of egg white mixture to yolk mixture and fold in. Add remaining whites to yolks in 3 more additions, folding each addition in being careful not to deflate but thoroughly blending in
- 9
Evenly divide batter in the 12 prepared pans. I used a one cup measure to scoop and pour into each pan, tapping pans to level batter
- 10
Bake 4 cakes at a time in preheated oven until light golden, and cake feels dry not sticky. A toothpick will be mostly clean. About 7 to 9 minutes. Cool pans on racks 5 minutes then run a small sharp knife around edges to prevent any sticking
- 11
MAKE FILLING. Whip cold Chocolate Ganache, recipe attached below

On a serving plate starting with one cake frost each layer with a thin layer of chocolate ganache, sandwichng each layer. Keep top layer un frosted, and chill cake 2 hours to firm up before glazing.
- 13
MAKE CHOCOLATE GLAZE
- 14
Place semi sweet chocolate on large bowl. Heat cream to a simmer, either stove top or in microwave. Pour over chocolate, let sit undisturbed 1 minute to melt chocolte. Whisk until smooth. Let glaze sit at room temperature until it thickens some but is still able to pour
- 15
Glaze cake by spooning glaze over top of cake and letting it slide down sides
- 16
Garnish with sprinkles while glaze is wet to allow to stick. Chill cake to set before cutting.

“Fenway” passed away on 2/3/2021. For the last year she tried to teach her husband of 42 years how to cook like her. Although I will never be as good of a cook as her she did pass on her passion for cooking. Therefore, I will attempt to carry on her legacy and maintain/update her site. My wife was a Registered Nurse, a licensed deep water aerobics instructor, a mother to our 2 children and a fantastic cook. We grew up in New England but have been fortunate to live all over the US. I am now retired, missing her terribly, but thankful for all the years we had together and all her cooking lessons.

This is the most basic sponge cake, but it tastes so moist and fluffy. For healthy reason, I replaced the butter with vegetable oil, the topping cream is whipped cream not butter cream. This could be the most healthy cream sponge cake ever, but not vegan.

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
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 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.

(You can omit both in a pinch.) Recipe by Kubokki-
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

Quick to Make 12cm Diameter Sponge Cake
I wanted to make an oil-free, healthy sponge cake for my lovely husband so I started trying various cake making methods and soon became able to bake cakes without even really thinking about it.A 12 cm cake can easily be eaten in one sitting by 2 people so it's the perfect size for a couple.The most important points to remember are to make keep the proportion of flour and sugar equal and to thoroughly whisk the eggs until pale and creamy.The other main point is to use chilled eggs warmed up in the microwave so they whisk well. Lastly, add the sugar a little at a time, for beginners it can take time to whisk the mixture together. Recipe by Nagonyan

Whole Egg Sponge Cake (Genoise)
This is a basic genoise for making cakes. I figured I would leave behind a recipe.Mix slowly and carefully in Steps 5 and 6. If you get nervous and under-mix it, then the consistency will be rough. The whipping time is approximate so please adjust as necessary.You will get the hang of it once you bake it several so please keep at it.By baking this at a low temperature, it will turn into a smooth sponge cake. For 18 cm [7.1 in] round mold. Recipe by Kyansama

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.

Soft and Fluffy Sponge Cake
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
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
