Finally, i found a sponge cake recipe which is really good, moist and spongy, and I can use this as a cake base for Birthday cake.
Recipe adapted from FoodHouse8 (she is my favourite baking master !!), if you know Chinese, the video is self-explanatory, otherwise check below recipe.
Basic Sponge Cake (Cocoa)
Whole eggs 203g ( I use 6 medium eggs, remember to use cold eggs)
Egg yolk 32g (I use 2 medium eggs)
Sugar 135g
Glucose 21g (I use golden syrup)
Salt 1g
Salad oil 32g (I changed to corn oil)
Cocoa powder 21g
Cake flour 106g
Baking soda 1g (I changed to 1tsp)
Milk 21ml
1. Heat up corn oil (low flame), turn off flame, add in cocoa powder and mix well, set aside.
2. Beat whole egg + egg yolk, sugar and salt on HIGH speed till foamy.
3. Add in glucose and continue beat on MEDIUM speed till double in volume and ribbon-like.
4. Sift cake flour and baking soda, beat on LOW speed till mix well.
5. With a spatula, take 1/3 of the batter and mix it with no (1), fill in this mixture with the remaining batter, combine well. Last add in milk and mix well.
6. Pour batter in a 9” round pan and bake for 35mins at 180c.
7. Remove from the oven and invert the pan immediately. Let cool completely before unmould.

Hi Sonia,
ReplyDeleteVery nice spongy cake, love it & thank you for sharing, the glucose of 21g is it in powder form or liquid. You are using golden syrup so we can also met sugar to make golden syrup is it. Thanks.
Very fluffy sponge cake! I can't do sponge cake, can't get soft and fluffy texture :-(
ReplyDeleteThat looked like a very successful sponge cake indeed. I used to do loads of them for Home Econs (more than 20 years ago!) and then I've almost never done it again. Will have to make them again.
ReplyDeleteHi Sonia,
ReplyDeleteGot one question. I made this cake, it was very spongy and quiet soft but it was kinda dry..not moist. How come? And also it just took about 20 mins to bake...i set my oven to 170c..
Its so weird...maybe i should try again one more time...
thanks for the recipe anyway..
hi sonia, i saw this video clip at Kitchen Corner's blog as well. I nvr gd at making sponge cake b4 encounter this recipe, tried 3 times and failed twice. I was so happy when I tried this recipe twice and both were successful but of course, cannot beat urs and Kitchen Corner cos both of your cakes look so good and spongy.

ReplyDeleteHi Sonia, the cake looks very soft... :)
ReplyDeleteMay I know why need to use cold eggs?
Thanks
Hello Nasi Lemak Lover
ReplyDeleteWud like to try out your sponge cake recipe soon. Kindly please advise me if were to I omit the cocoa powder as I do not like chocolate cake at all, what other ingredients in place I can use? And if there is no alternative ingredient which u can recommend in replacement of the cocoa powder, do I need to reduce other ingredients in ur sponge cake recipe?
Thanks and rgds
Priscilla Poh
Priscilla, actually I was thinking to change cocoa to vanilla extract too. What I will do is omit cocoa powder and remove step 1. Fold in corn oil at step 5 and followed by adding the milk. I will try this new method soon.
ReplyDeleteThanks Sonia for your response. I shall wait and hear fr u the outcome of vanilla extract method. I was thinking if I add milk powder in place of the cocoa powder, will this do?
ReplyDeleteAnyway, I had in mind to use this cake recipe to bake a birthday cake with durian frosting for my sis birthday in Jun.
Blessings
Priscilla Poh
Can I ask what golden syrup is? Can I use honey?
ReplyDeleteHi I like your sponge cake. Very spongy n yummy. Msy i know whst kind of round cake mould u used?F

Hi I like your sponge cake. Very spongy n yummy. Msy i know whst kind of round cake mould u used?F
ReplyDeletedid u use detachable base cake mould? How do i solve this problem If I don't have detachable base cake mould? Thank for yr time.

Yes, I use a removable mould. If you don't have one, normal mould is alright by just line the bottom with baking paper. Once you invert the cake , so no problem to remove it .
ReplyDeleteHi Sonia!
ReplyDeleteI understand that eggs should be at room temperature but from your recipe, you stated that eggs should/must be cold...may I know what is the reason?
Thanks! :)
Hi, to use cold eggs is for easy rising when beating.
ReplyDeleteHi Sonia, when heating oil n mixing with cocoa powder, will the mixture burn or dry up? I left mine in the same pot to cool n it looked very dry/burnt. Did you Trf to another bowl to cool?
ReplyDeleteThanks, Amy
Amy, do not heat oil for too long, so long it turn warm and turn off heat , then mix in cocoa powder and cool it in the same pot. Otherwise you can just transfer to another bowl in case in turn dry.
ReplyDeleteThanks Sonia, appreciate it! Will try again.
ReplyDeleteCheers,Amy
Hi Sonia,
ReplyDeleteDo you think that i can reduce the sugar to about 90-100g? I'm afraid 135g of sugar is way too sweet for me and my family. Will it alter the outcome of the cake? Please advise. Thanks!
Sally
Sally, I am not sure, i have so long did not bake this cake. If reduce sugar not too much, should be ok..You try out and let me know.

Hi Sonia,
ReplyDeleteI don't understand the following points:
"Whole eggs 203g ( I use 6 medium eggs, remember to use cold eggs)
Egg yolk 32g (I use 2 medium eggs)"
Do you mean you use total of 8 eggs?
of which 2 eggs use only the yolk?
Hi Sonia!
ReplyDeleteI tried this and loved it! So easy to make and a great base for cakes! Going to be my go to cake from now on! Thanks for your kind sharing!
