Tarla Dalal    It happens when you have used little more baking powder or baking soda and also at times when you keep opening the oven many times when the cake is getting baked…

Sponge cake without Baking Powder ? This recipe must be reserved for the experts only. There are so many caveats - Egg temperature, method of folding flour - timing. Oven temperature and even the cake tin. Please state these cautionary warnings. It is not that this recipe is not possible ? But if you have the skills to make it a success, then you would not be reading this column ! Even then the egg smell will need special handling.

Can I replace the caster sugar with brown sugar? Also, can I use half whole wheat flour and half all purpose flour to make up the 3/4 cup of flour?

Tarla Dalal    Hello Pooja, This is a tried and tested recipe from our kitchen. We have tried this recipe here many times and you can always increase the quantity of vanilla essence to not deal with that eggy smell.
