How to easily remember the doses
Remembering the doses for this quick sponge cake is easy: for each egg, calculate 10 ml of water, 40 ml of sugar (also cane, for those who like) and 50 g of flour (white flour or half white flour and half dose of any starch).
The vov liqueur can be replaced with another liqueur (eg rum) or with vanilla essence.- Combine the powders with the egg cream, adding the mix by spoonfuls, in the same container as the electric mixer, taking care to maintain the minimum speed.
- At this point, add the juice of half a lemon and a pinch of baking soda.
- Pour the mixture into a hinged pan with a diameter of 24 cm, previously lined with baking paper.
- Level the dough with a spatula and bake in a preheated oven at 160 ° C for about 25-30 minutes. It is advisable to carry out the toothpick test before removing the cake from the oven.
- When the quick sponge cake is ready, remove it from the oven and allow it to cool completely before cutting it into horizontal discs. This sponge cake is perfect to be filled with any type of cream: we recommend, however, to soak the layers with a syrup of your choice before proceeding with the filling.
