SPONGE CAKE

A cake is a form of sweet dessert that is typically baked. Typical cake ingredients are flour, sugar, eggs, butter, a liquid(milk) and leavening agents such as baking soda or baking powder. I love this sponge cake recipe. It's easy and you can make hundreds of different cakes with this base. This is a delicious simple basic cake that pleases all palates and goes well with a variety of toppings and icing.
