The better than bakery SPONGE CAKE recipe you've been looking for! Light, airy, soft sponge cake
RECIPE: cakesbymk.com/recipe/light-ai...
SHOP: www.amazon.com/shop/cakesbymk
This better than bakery sponge cake recipe is light, airy, and just straight up DELICIOUS! It’s so versatile that you can pair it with literally anything. I love filling mine like a classic Victorian sponge cake with my homemade raspberry filling recipe and whipped cream - YUM!
HOW TO WHIP EGGS: • How to whip egg whites...
INGREDIENTS:
Sponge Cake
- ⅓ cup (40 g) flour - regular, all purpose (see note 1 on blog post)
- ½ cup (60 g) cornstarch
- ¼ tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp salt
- 4 large eggs - whites and yolks separated
- ⅛ tsp white vinegar
- ⅔ cup (132 g) white granulated sugar - separated in half (1/3 for the egg whites & 1/3 for the egg yolk mixture)
- 1½ tbsp warm water - not boiling
- 2 tsp vanilla essence/extract
- 2 tbsp (30 g) unflavoured vegetable oil - I use canola
IMPORTANT: Cake tins must be ungreased (with only the bottom lined), and ensure the cakes are cooled upside down once baked. Bake at 160 °C (320°F) with the fan on for 25 minutes. If your oven doesn't have a fan option, then you will need to increase the baking temperature to 175°C (347°F).
Simple Syrup (I use about 3/4s of the quantity below to brush the cake)
- ½ cup (100 g) white granulated sugar
- ½ cup (110 g) boiling water
Whipping Cream
- 2 cups (375 g) cold whipping cream
- 2 tsp icing sugar - also known as confectioners sugar/powdered sugar
- ½ tsp vanilla essence/extract
- 1 punnet fresh strawberries for decorating - sliced in half
Raspberry Jam
- 1 batch of my raspberry jam filling recipe: cakesbymk.com/recipe/raspberr...

Listen!!!!!I have never made a cake so light and airy!It literally felt like I was munching on a vanilla and strawberry flavoured cloud !Hats off to you Cakes by MK !!!This will now be my go to recipe for a sponge cake .
Awww yay! :D It truly is like a cloud isn't it hehe one of my fav recipes and I'm so glad you enjoyed it as much as me :D if you manage to find a spare minute I'd be so grateful if you can kindly leave a review on my blog if you haven't already, it really helps my content reach more people :D thanks so much again for trying it out :)
wooow i interesting ❤❤
Me too! love this recipe
@@CakesbyMKI've never made a cake before & I zam the Marie Antoinette cake Lover!!!! I have horrible cake habits. I eat 4 or 5 whole cakes by myself a month...😮😮😮 I can't help it....oh w Ice cream No I'm not a diabetic thank Goodness or I would of been Dead. I do have have Hyper para Thyroidism & Multiple Myloma I'm not Heavy you can tell I eat too much in my face if you knew me. But that's it the hyperthyroid turned me into a eating machine. The pain from the cancer is my excuse to treat myself. Anyway I never baked but I'm gonna by pans & stuff & try because cakes are sooo expensive & I get too little sponge - mounds of butter cream or nice sponge - fake butter cream.....fake meaning granulated sugar frosting....yuch. I don't like crunchy cream . So I have to convert your measurements to teaspoons, cups, etc etc I will return in a week or so I have to get the ingredients incl pans so & rest 2 days after I shop. I look forward to trying so I can stop buying cakes that don't hit the right Notes......... Meet you back here in 5 days with an update... I'm excited to try
Mk shares her knowledge about baking, while remaining true to her faith, As-salaam Alaikum
There's no conflict between sharing knowledge and remaining "true" to one's faith... If you come to see what she's wearing, more than for the knowledge because of your narrow understanding of "faith, it's a pity ! No one needs your validation!!
@@advocaterishitamall😮. 😂
How is making a video staying true to her faith? You have Zero idea what you are talking about about....Master comprehension& one language at a time
I made this cake and it truly was the softest and spongesist cake. The only thing I would change is I would not put vanilla in the cream filling and put less sugar in the syrup, and that's to everyone's own preference, of course. I am making it again today but will be doing a apricot/pineapple filling. Go ahead everyone and give it a try, you won't be disappointed!!! ❤
Size of cake tin used ? For the same quantity
@@archanaveena4786 I used a 8inch tin
@ Archana Veena Instructions say.... Preheat oven to 160 °C (320°F) with the fan on (see note 2 if you don't have a fan function) and line the bottom of two 8x3 inch baking tins with baking paper without greasing the bottom. Leave the sides of the cake tins ungreased and bare (do not line with baking paper).
can we put buttercream on the outside of the cake?
If you were to refrigirtae the cakes for decorating the next day, at what point should you pack it??
Lovely lively explanation, no cheesy music or artistic waste of time. Thank you.
This turned out so well. I am so excited to be able to make fluffy sponge cakes at last. Thank you so much.
I must say that I have years of baking experience az a Swiss mom and the technique and mostly the amount of sugar in this recipe is perfect. I can't eat American cake recipes. The amount of sugar is beyond imagination. Inedible for my tastebuds.
Wow! You are the queen of cakes! You are my go to for all my cake recipes. Every one I’ve tried had been outstanding!
I cannot wait to try this recipe. You are absolutely fabulous.! I’m a baker for many years self-made, but I always love watching someone else’s which I can always learn from. Thank you for your wonderful tutorials videos so many to choose from.

I LOVE ALL your videos and your recipies and this beautiful sponge cake video is no exception! Thank you for your advise! I bake and decorate all our family cakes and I take my recipe inspiration from you! THANK YOU for your beautiful and truly educational videos!
Aww thank you so so so much! :D
I guarantee that this will definitely work and make the BEST chiffon sponge cake. I make it the same way apart from the last step. I add my dry ingredients to the yolk batter first, mix and then add the stiff peaked egg whites. Give it a try! 100%
can we use bake belts for this recipe? and why dont we grease the pan or put baking paper around the cake tin?
If you were to refrigirtae the cakes for decorating the next day, at what point should you pack it??
I made this cake today for my mothers bday and she only likes vanilla cakes - my god the result was phenomenal !!! Thank u so much MK - just so deliciously soft n melt in the mouth

I used to run my home bakery few years back, I used to make sponge similar to this but with more oil, wanted to try out new recipe and this is a total hit!! Its so perfectly spongy and tasty . The first bite literally feels like eating a cloud. Thanks👍
