Sponge Cake
Sponge cakes are extremely light, airy and delicious cakes. This light texture is due to the lack of heavy ingredients such as fat, butter or oil. With no leavening agents such as baking powder, the volume of sponge cake is created by using stiffly whipped egg whites as a base for the batter. Almost always baked in a tube pan, sponge cakes are usually served drizzled with glaze or some type of fruit sauce.

Why does sponge cake go dry?
Asked by Wiki User
A cake can become dry and fragile (not hold together well) if it is not moist enough and if it lacks proper bonding during baking. This type of bonding that holds the cake together usually comes from eggs and a little bit from butter, milk, margerine, or shortening. Water (along with all other liquids) will make the cake moist and not dry.

What is the difference between heated eggs vs unheated in a sponge cake?
Asked by Wiki User
Using eggs will give your cake structure and bind the ingredients together. Since a sponge cake rises with heat due to the yeast in the flour or bicarbonate of soda that you can add, using heated eggs will start the rising early before all the ingredients are added and mixed. Using cold eggs or room temperature eggs gives you enough time to mix and blend all the ingredients together before putting it into the oven to bake and rise.
