S5 E32: Easter Sponge Cake

Send us Fan Mail This week we're helping you get ready for Easter with a fun baking project! Erin takes on a sponge cake with a pretty Easter design. Are you ready to try it, too? A sponge is a cake is a light cake that gets its texture from beaten eggs. When making a designed sponge cake, you separate some of the batter and colour it. Then you pipe the coloured batter onto the bottom of a pan in the design you want, then fill the pan the rest of the way with plain cake batter. When you flip it out, you have a beautifully-decorated cake -- without the trouble and extra sweetness of icing! Regular listeners probably know we are not big fans of decorating cakes, so this sounded like the perfect thing. Well, Erin ended up having to bake this cake twice because she had some trouble with the first sponge recipe. This bake was a whole thing! Come along for the ride and learn all about baking a decorative cake before you begin your own. That's what we're here for - testing it out to give you the benefit of our experience!
