Classic sponge cake

4 servings

25 minutes

Classic sponge cake is an important component of a confectionery constructor. Firstly, you can eat it just like that, sprinkle it with powdered sugar and serve it with well-brewed tea. Secondly, sponge cake is the basis of half of the desserts, from the folk cake "Charodeika" to the "potato" cake. We have tested this recipe many times, since we often have to cook sponge cakes in the editorial office, which we then use this way and that. There is no difficulty in it, but there is one recommendation: add fresh and tasty eggs to it - this way the quality of the baked goods will be much better.
