Best Ever Sponge


3 Egg Sponge

Ingredients:

½ cup castor sugar

¼ cup corn flour

¼ cup plain flour

¼ cup self-raising flour

Methods:

Have eggs at room temperature. Beat whole eggs in a small bowl with electric mixer until thick and creamy. Add sugar about 1 tablespoon at a time, beating each addition until sugar is dissolved .

While eggs and sugar are beating, prepare a deep 20cm ring pan by greasing evenly and dust with some flour; sift dry ingredients together 3 times, to aerate and mix the flours.

When sugar is dissolved, transfer mixture to larger bowl; this makes it easier to fold the dry ingredients through the egg mixture. Sift the flours over the egg mixture, use a spatula to lightly fold the flour through. Heavy handling at this stage will give a flat tough sponge.

Spread mixture evenly into ring pan and bake in moderate oven for 20- 25 minutes. When cook, turn sponge immediately to wire rake to cool.
