THE SECRET OF A SPONGE CAKE THAT DOESN'T FALL! A FLUFFY SPONGE CAKE.

Description:

This video walks you through a detailed, step‑by‑step recipe for a fluffy sponge cake that won’t fall. It starts with preheating the oven and preparing a dry, fat‑free bowl for the egg whites, which are whisked with a pinch of salt and gradually folded with sugar until they form glossy, stable peaks. Once the whites are ready, the yolks are added one at a time, each beaten until smooth, creating a liquid, yellow‑tinted mixture. The batter is then incorporated with flour in three careful portions, using a spatula to preserve the air, and enriched with vegetable oil, liquid honey, corn or potato starch, and warm milk. The final flour addition is mixed just until the dough is homogeneous, avoiding over‑mixing that would develop gluten. The batter is poured into a parchment‑lined pan, baked at 165–170 °C for 35–40 minutes without opening the oven early, and tested with a wooden skewer. After baking, the cake cools in the pan for about an hour before being removed, ensuring it retains its structure. The result is a light, airy sponge cake ready for layering or serving with tea.
