A simple sponge cake can form the base for a variety of luscious desserts. Plain or fancy, a basic sponge cake can be employed to produce desserts for occasions ranging from a simple family meal to a show stealing birthday cake. Whatever the recipe, a basic sponge cake has to be moist, soft and tender. A dry, crumbly, flat cake will make the dessert very unappetizing.

The recipe is pretty simple and it makes a great cake. The only reason why I gave it 4 stars is because I felt there was a need to add sugar when I tasted my cake.
