Keep On Trying

Recently, i try to bake sponge cake.

da first time, i nearly succeed. It does not taste very good, but at least it still ok, still can be eaten.

And my father support me by finishing it all.

Haha, so happy.

2nd time, hehe..totally fail. Even my dog also don't want to eat.

>.<

Don't know da reason, maybe it's because the eggs didn't bit fluffy enough.

Then i try again for the third time, only myself finish the whole thing. T.T

Everyone said it is so easy to bake sponge cake, but don't know why, i still can't make it. Haha, what a 'genius' i m!

Anyway, I'll keep on trying until i can bake a perfect sponge cake.

This is the recipe i found from the net

Ingredients

2 Eggs

3oz/75g Caster Sugar

3oz/75g Plain Flour

First crack your eggs into a large bowl, whisk them for a few seconds just lightly. Add your caster sugar only and whisk until your mixture thickens and turns almost white in colour.This will take 5-10 minutes using an electric whisk, do not try to cut corners and just give it a whisk for a minute or two!You may also think that your mixture should be thicker but as long as the colour has gone almost white it should be just fine.(For fast results use an electric whisk, if you use a hand whisk instead this is fine - it will just take a lot longer.)

Take a sieve and gently add your flour. Gently fold flour into your mixture until you can see it has all mixed together nicely. (to fold take a spoon and very gently stir your spoon over and under the mixture rather than just stiring as normal - the reason is to keep all the air bubbles inside the mixture).

Pour your sponge cake mixture into a greased and floured round tin. Place in a pre-heated oven at 180C for approx 20-30 minutes (depending on your oven).Do not open your oven door until you are checking it towards to end of being cooked.

To check if your cake is ready you can just lightly press on it with your finger and if it is bouncy it is ready. Once cooked leave in its tin to cool a little.Once cooler you can go around the edges with a knife to gently nudge it out. It should come out easily.

Never give Up~!
