Thanks to the baking lesson (I have learnt a few tips from there) and also thanks to Linda from Imperial Kitchen for her tips and recipe. I really appreciate that for the breakthough and with that...my to bake list is going to increase with the new found success.
My First Successful Sponge Cake!
Trying to show everyone how spongy it is!
But didn't know it will leave a dent! :)
The finishing look and I like the fresh eggy and rum smell! My son keep digging into it before I can decorate it.

hi cyndi..lovely blog. Congratulation on baking a beautiful sponge cake . I have tried numerous times in baking this recipe but fail. Did u follow closely to Linda's recipe and did you Wrap with baking strips as suggested and how long did u bake yr cake for? Mine cake colappse and underbake even if i bake for more than 1 hour..lol
thanks
Hi Sue,
Thanks for dropping by my blog. I think I used a different recipe but follow Linda's tip to the T. Though I didn't use the baking strips, I did use a wet towel to wrap the cake tin when placing it into the oven. I baked my cake around 40 mins (however it really depend on individual oven). Cake collapse or underbake is mainly though not always due to the mixing process. Are you the lady whom attended Gina's baking class? If so, follow her method of beating the egg white and will not go wrong. Keep trying and don't give up...one day your bake will be successful as mine.
