A classic sponge cake has a few golden rules which are outlined in the step-by-step guide but not all cakes are made this way – far from it. Having had the chance to design recipes and menus for ski chalets in different European countries and north America, I have gathered tips, tricks and outlandish methodology from different corners of the cake world. Some are so quick to get in the oven it is astonishing, and one or two have lists of ingredients that you would not believe could make a cake – so keep an open mind!
One more thing – got a fan oven? Don’t forget you need to reduce the temperature.
Happy baking and lots of cake love!
