Best Whipping Cream Sponge Cake Recipes

4-INGREDIENT SPONGE CAKE (VIDEO RECIPE)

Steps:

• Preheat Oven to 350˚F. Line bottoms of two 9″ cake pans with parchment paper (do not grease the sides).
• In the bowl of an electric stand mixer fitted with whisk attachment (this is the one I have), beat 6 large eggs for 1 minute on high speed. With the mixer on, gradually add 1 cup sugar and continue beating 8-10 minutes until thick and fluffy.
• Whisk together 1 cup flour and 1/2 tsp baking powder then sift this mixture into fluffy egg mixture one third at a time. Fold with a spatula with each addition just until incorporated. Scrape spatula from the bottom to catch any pockets of flour and stop mixing when no streaks of flour remain. Do not over-mix or you will deflate the batter.
• Divide evenly between prepared cake pans (it helps if you have a kitchen scale to weight the pans). Bake at 350˚F for 23-28 minutes (my oven took 25 min), or until top is golden brown. Remove from pan by sliding a thin spatula (here's the one I love for cakes) around the edges then transfer to a wire rack and remove parchment backing. Cool cakes to room temperature then slice layers equally in half with a serrated knife.

EASY WHIPPED CREAM CAKE, CHINESE BAKERY-STYLE

Steps:

• Place a rack in middle of oven and preheat to 350°F. Butter two 9"-diameter cake pans with unsalted butter, room temperature, then dust with cake flour, shaking out excess. Beat 4 large eggs and 1½ cups (300 g) granulated sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment on medium-high speed until thick, pale, and doubled in volume, 5-7 minutes.
• Meanwhile, whisk together 1½ cups (173 g) cake flour, 2 tsp. baking powder, and 1 tsp. Diamond Crystal or ½ tsp. Morton kosher salt in a medium bowl.
• Pour ¾ cup half-and-half into a heatproof measuring glass or small bowl and heat in microwave in 15-second bursts until hot but not bubbling at all. Pour in ¼ cup vegetable oil. (Alternatively, you can heat half-and-half in a small saucepan over medium before pouring in oil.)
• Reduce mixer speed to medium-low and, with motor running, gradually pour hot half-and-half mixture down sides of bowl; mix until combined. Gradually add dry ingredients, ¼ cup at a time, beating after each addition until just incorporated. Scrape down sides of bowl to make sure there are no dry floury bits. Divide batter between prepared pans; smooth surface.
• Bake cakes, rotating pans front to back halfway through, until risen by 1" and golden brown on top, 15-20 minutes. (These are very light cakes and may not spring back when gently pressed.) Transfer pans to a wire rack and let cakes cool in pans 30 minutes. Run a small knife or offset spatula around inside of pans to loosen cakes, then turn out onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Let cool completely.
• Once cakes are cool, beat 4 cups heavy cream, ¾ cup (83 g) powdered sugar, and ¼ tsp. Diamond Crystal or Morton kosher salt in clean bowl of stand mixer fitted with clean whisk attachment on medium-high speed until medium peaks form, about 3 minutes.
• Place 1 cake layer on a large plate or cake stand and spread a 1" layer of whipped cream on top with a small offset spatula. Arrange 1 cup sliced hulled strawberries in a single layer over whipped cream. Place second cake layer on top and spread top and sides of cake generously with whipped cream.
• Transfer remaining whipped cream to a piping bag fitted with the tip of your choice or a resealable plastic bag with a corner snipped off, if desired, and decorate top of cake with swirls or other patterns. Arrange fresh fruit (such as sliced strawberries and kiwis and/or whole raspberries and/or blueberries). Chill cake 1 hour before serving.
