CHEAP SPONGE CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350, and line 2 nine inch pans with wax paper.
• Sift flour with baking powder; in a separate bowl, combine the water and the vanilla.
• Beat egg yolks until thick, then slowly add the sugar bit by bit, until the mixture gets thick and cream colored.
• Add the flour alternately with the water, beginning and ending with the flour.
• With clean mixer, beat the egg whites with the cream of tartar untilsoft peaks form.
• Fold egg whites into batter lightly, about 1/4 at a time.
• Spoon into the pans and bake about 25 minutes, or until gold and springy.
• I have added 3/4 cup nuts, 1/4 cup cocoa (sifted with the flour), 1 tbsp instant coffee, etc--it's a nice recipe to experiment with.
• You can also make these into cupcakes--fill cupcake papers 3/4 full, bake about 12 minutes, makes about 24.

SIMPLE AND DELICIOUS SPONGE CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease an 8 inch cake pan and line with a circle of parchment paper.
• Beat the margarine and sugar with an electric mixer in a large bowl until light and fluffy. The mixture should be noticeably lighter in color. Add the eggs one at a time, allowing each egg to blend into the margarine mixture before adding the next. Fold in the flour until only small lumps remain; pour into the prepared pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 30 minutes. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes before removing to cool completely on a wire rack.
