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.
