because Queen Victoria liked a slice of sponge cake with her afternoon tea.
Castor or caster sugar is the name of a very fine sugar in Britain, so named because the grains are small enough to fit though a sugar "caster" or sprinkler. It is sold as "superfine" sugar in the United States. It is useful for dissolving in cold liquids or in egg whites for meringues.
the diffewrence is that pound cake is thicker and has more moistness to it and sponge cake is kinda dry. it really depends on how you make it. but really,the pound cake is better
it is okay to eat ice cream during pregnancy just dont overdue it
No, if you put soda in a cake it would probably taste horrible and it would be all mushy and squishy and damp. What you do have to put in, however, is baking soda which looks like white flour.
Sponge Cake freezes quite well! Just be aware that it can go soggy when defrosted. I wouldn't use a microwave to defrost it either, just leave it out at room temperature for the day. Hope this helps!
As long as it is fresh. Baking powder can loose some of it's punch over time if not in a sealed container. Flour on the shelf is not packaged as tightly as baking powder in a can. It is not a big loss but does occur. It is not better, just a convenience.

Fresh eggs are always better for taste and quality, but - as long as the eggs haven't gone bad - they will still do just fine.
Usually it is between 325 and 350 F, 160-180 C.
Either cooked too long in the oven or once cooked has been left out to cool for too long.
