All-In-One Sponge Cake image

No creaming or folding, this is a simple, quick and easy stand-by sponge. Choose your own filling, fruit, cream, lemon curd or jam. For a variation add some vanilla essence, lemon or orange zest to the ingredients. Requires 2 round 8 inch sandwich baking tins, greased and lined with baking paper. I sometimes need to cut a thin slice from the top of of one of the sponges to level them before I sandwich them together.

Time 45m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

3/4 cup butter or 3/4 cup margarine, needs to be soft
1 cup caster sugar or 1 cup fine sugar
3 eggs, beaten
1 1/2 cups sifted self-raising flour
2 teaspoons baking powder

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (325F if you know your oven is really hot).
  • Measure out all the ingredients, put in to a large bowl and beat until well blended (I use an electric mixer but you can do this by hand).
  • Divide this between the two tins; level out and bake in the oven for approx 30-35 minutes, until well risen and the top of the sponges spring back when lightly pressed with your finger.
  • Leave them to cool for 5 minutes in the tin before you turn them out; remove the paper and let them completely cool on a cake rack.
  • When cold, sandwich them together with your favorite filling.
  • Sprinkle caster or powdered sugar on the top.
