How To Make Sponge Cake




* 8 eggs, separated to whites and yolks
* 190 g sugar
* 95 g flour
* 55 g corn starch
* 45 g butter, melted
* 1 tsp vanilla extract
* 1 mixer with whisk attachment
* 1 rubber spatula
* 1 spring-formed pan, 26cm diameter, lined with parchment
* 1 bowl
* 1 sieve
* 1 wooden skewer



* Serves:
* 6 to 8
* Preparation Time:
* 10 minutes
* Cooking Time:
* 1 hour 40 minutes
* Oven Temperature:
* 180° c - 360° f


Step 2: Preheat the oven

The first thing that you need to do in preparing your sponge cake is to set your oven to 180°C, 350°F or gas mark 4.

Step 3: Mix the egg yolks

Place the egg yolks into the mixer and mix them on a high speed until creamy. After a minute, add about 2 tbsp of sugar. Continue to mix for a few minutes more until the mixture becomes thicker.


You can now add the vanilla extract. Keep mixing until the mixture becomes double that of its original volume. Now turn off the machine and transfer the egg yolks to a separate bowl.


Wash your mixing bowl and the attachment well in preparation for whipping the egg whites.

TIP!

Make sure that the mixer attachment and bowl are washed extremely clean at this point. If not, any fat that remains on these utensils will affect the whipping of the egg whites. Make sure your things are spotless!

Step 4: Whip the egg whites

Place whites into the clean mixer bowl. Beat them on high and let them whip until they become white and frothy. Now slowly add the sugar a bit at a time. The whipped egg whites mixture is ready when it clings to the beater attachment but does not drip. Once the mixture is nice and stiff, turn off the mixer.

Step 5: Combine yolks and whites

Now you can introduce the egg yolks to the egg whites mixture. Add the whipped egg yolks into the egg whites and fold them in with the rubber spatula. Make sure not to over-mix.

Step 6: Complete the batter

Next, we need to introduce the flour and corn starch to the eggs. Start by combining the flour and the corn starch in the sieve and using your hands, slowly sift it into the mixture. Sifting the flour will increase the amount of air in the cake, helping to make it even lighter.


Fold it all together remembering again not to over-mix and then add the melted butter to the batter, combining it in briefly.

Step 7: Bake

Using your rubber spatula, you can now transfer the batter into the lined spring-form pan. Spread the batter evenly with the rubber spatula and give the pan a few good shakes to remove any air pockets that might remain.


Now put the cake into the oven and allow it to bake.

Step 8: Remove the cake

After around 30 minutes, test the cake to see it is ready. Insert a wooden skewer into the centre of the cake. The cake is ready when the skewer comes out free of batter. Now set it aside to cool before removing it from the pan.


Once the cake is totally cooled, take a sharp knife and run it around the outside of the cake. Now remove the spring-form pan and there you have it, your sponge cake.

Step 9: Serving Suggestions

Although sponge cake can be eaten as it is, it can be used as the base for many different layered cakes. We hope you enjoy your sponge cake ^0^

    Instant Yeast vs. Dry Yeast

    Instant yeast, which is also known as rapid rise yeast or bread machine yeast, has become the type of yeast I always use. Why? It makes bread baking easier and the results are just as good as with active dry yeast.
    With instant yeast, you skip the step of dissolving the yeast in warm water. It is more finely ground than active dry yeast and therefore absorbs moisture much faster. As the name implies, instant yeast also works more quickly than its counterpart.
    Another difference is that when using instant yeast with gluten bread, only one rise time is needed and the dough is not punched down. That’s not significant to us gluten-free bread bakers because our dough only requires one rise time anyway.
    If you are following a recipe that calls for active dry yeast, use about 25% less of instant yeast. Mix the yeast in with the dry ingredients and combine the wet and dry ingredients according to the instructions.
    Bread machine yeast is easily found at grocery stores. I buy vacuum packed instant yeast from BJ’s wholesale club. SAF Instant Yeast is one brand I have used. Once I open the pack, I put some into a small container I keep in the refrigerator and the rest of the package I close, put it in a zip lock bag, and store it in the freezer.
    You’ll notice that my recipes use instant yeast. If you don’t have instant, you will have to dissolve the yeast in the warm liquid. You may also want to increase the amount of yeast a little. If you haven’t given instant yeast a try yet, I hope you will soon. I think it will quickly become your preferred type of yeast.

    Bopis, Kandingga




    Bopis or kandingga in Bicol. I have several requests for this recipe, now here it is. Bopis is another popular turo-turo dish. It is made up of diced pork or beef lungs, spleen and hearth. Cooking this dish is a little bit tricky, it has to be done right to rid of that pig innards smell. It has to be sautéed really dry or until it is sizzling. Or you could boil again the diced bopis and rinse, drain before cooking sautéing. For this reason some are not so keen to have this dish. But for those who have come to like the exotic taste of bopis is surely one dish to crave for. Here is my recipe.




    Ingredients:




    1/2 pork bopis set, (lungs, spleen and hearth)


    1 medium size labanos, diced finely


    1 medium size carrot, diced finely


    1 red bell pepper, diced finely


    1 big can button mushroom, diced finely


    2 tablespoon black pepper, coarsely ground


    1/2 head garlic, crushed, minced


    1 medium size onion, chopped


    1/4 cup atsuete / annatto in oil


    2-3 pieces siling labuyo , chopped


    3/4 cup vinegarcooking oil


    salt


    Cooking procedure:





    Wash bopis set thoroughly and drain. Put the whole bopis set in big casserole and add enough water to cover, bring to a boil and simmer for 20-25 minutes. Remove from casserole and drain, let it cool down. Finely dice bopis set and keep aside. Suttee garlic and onion in a big wok. Add in diced bopis and stir cook for 3-5 minutes or until it start to sizzle. Add in vinegar and cook for 2-3 minutes now add in annatto oil, patis and black pepper, stir cook for another 2-3 minutes. Add in 3 cups of water and simmer for 3-5 minutes now add in carrots, labanos, mushroom and siling labuyo, simmer for another 3-5 minutes or until most of the liquid has evaporated. Correct saltines if required. Add in bell pepper and cook for a minute or two. Serve hot with a lot of rice.
