Plain Sponge Cake- 4 Ingredients Bakes

Pin It Now!

Baking with 4 ingredients challenge here I come! I’m joining Bake-Along No.24 hosted by Zoe from Bake for Happy Kids, Lena from Frozen wings and Joyce from Kitchen Flavours with the theme of baking with just 4 ingredients. I present you this simple sponge cake. With the air incorporated inside the batter during the beating process make this cake soft and spongy although without any raising agent. You can bake this as the base for birthday cake or having it just like that.
