The best flour for sponge cakes is cake flour, which has a lower protein content compared to all-purpose flour. This results in a lighter, more delicate texture that is ideal for achieving the airy structure characteristic of sponge cakes. If cake flour is unavailable, you can substitute with a mixture of all-purpose flour and cornstarch to mimic the lower protein content.

A genoise is a type of sponge cake that is made with eggs, sugar, flour, and sometimes butter. It is different from other sponge cakes because it is leavened primarily by the air whipped into the eggs, rather than chemical leaveners like baking powder or baking soda. This results in a lighter and more delicate texture compared to other sponge cakes.
