Thanks a million! I no longer have to fear making a vanilla cake as I have a foolproof recipe. Hello Kerry, thank you so much for your feedback, I am so glad this recipe turned out well for you. I was just wondering whether halving the ingredients would be adequate to make just the one cake.
Also would I have to adjust the cooking time in anyway? Hi Nathan, yes, you can half the recipe and you are also correct about adjusting the cooking time.
Depending on the size of the pan you decide to use, start checking from 15 to 20 minutes. I halved this recipe and made it on a whim a few months ago. My brothers gave me feedback that it was a very good cake. Ever since, i have been hunting for this recipe all over the internet. All i recall was that it was a purple site and that you had a button for metric conversions.
Im sooooo glad i found your recipe again! Great work! I cant wait to bake this one again! The recipe is amazing! Will I get the same results if I double recipe? Without layering the cake? Yes, Anab you would.
Hi Laura, the size of the pan you will use will determine how long to bake. I will recommend you start checking from 30 to 35 minutes. Be mindful not to open the oven too many times so it doesn't lose heat. I put the whole mixture to this in a 9inch tin and after it came out and cooled down I sliced the top off. I'm shocked, as this was initially a "tester" for my partners birthday cake this Friday.. What I'd like to know is can we freeze the sponge..?
I'd like to make the second layer on Thursday but a: it needs to be a surprise and b: it needs to keep.. Thanks again for such a yummy recipe.. Note: I ate all the trimmings from the top and had to stop myself it was so good lol. Thank you, Pauline, I am happy to know the cake turns out great for you.
Apologies the response is coming a little late, yes, you can freeze the cake and bring it out to thaw a day before use or at room temperature. Is the flour, butter and sugar put in the same quantity? I would really need some help with the measurements if you dont mind.. No Jenna, the sugar is not the same quantity as the butter and flour.
Kindly see the recipe card for the measurements used. Every sponge cake recipe I tried was either dry, chewy or dense. This was perfect. There wasn't much sugar either which was cool. The adults in the house enjoyed it as well! So delicious! Hi, you can convert to cups from the recipe card. Click metrics under the list of ingredients for this.
Hi Nish, yes you can use the mix for cupcakes. I will still recommend 20 minutes or until a cake tester inserted in the cupcakes comes out clean. Thank you, kindly let me know how it goes. This recipe is amazing!! This was the first cakes i baked in years and it turned out amazing! I too.. I made this Cake forst time and It was Amazing Hi I'm making this just now I have 2 x 8 inch round tins that are 4 inches deep.
How thick will each cake be how thick if I double the recipe? What height tins did you use? Hi I want to use either 7 or 8 inch round tins that's are 4 inches deep, if I want the cakes to be about 2 and a half to 3 inches high how much of each ingredient should I use? Hello Sharon, If you would be using a 7-inch pan like the one in the photo then use g flour and 4 large eggs. I usually do g of flour for 1 7-inch cake pan. Do let me know how it turns out.
Hi i am going to try make a car cake this week, would this cake be OK for carving? If so how would you recommend doing it? I was going to bake in a traybake tin, 13x9 inches. What measurements would you use and do you think I would need to bake 2 of them? Hi what would the measurements be for an 8 inch tin, 4 inches deep, would rather make 2 smaller sponges so not sure the amount of each ingredient, thanks.
I just baked this cake and it has turned out amazing! Took me back to a store-bought sponge cake that we used to enjoy on special occasions in my childhood! Thank you! I tried another vanilla sponge recipe a few days ago and it was a disaster. Not one to be beaten excuse the pun , I tried another recipe yours and it turned out perfectly so thank you for a lovely, easy to follow recipe.
Easiest recipe for first timers.!! Thankyou so much.!! I tried this recipe today and it's one of the best I've ever come across! Do you have a chocolate version? Thank you so much, Louise, I am happy you found the tips helpful, I will be sharing the chocolate version later on the blog. I hope you are subscribed to the blog already so that you get notified when the recipe is uploaded.
In the meantime, kindly check my coffee cake recipe. It is a good one if you love coffee. Hello I would like to ask how many layers would this recipe make if I were to bake them in 4 inch pans? I need emergency help!!! I try twice and the mix looks like cottage cheese Can you please, please email or text me.
Hello Jackie,the cake batter would curdle if you add cold eggs. Don't worry, this can fixed, make sure all your ingredients are at room temperature.
Alternatively, add a Tablespoon of flour at a time to the batter and mix with your mixer until well incorporated. Do not add too much flour as it would change the texture of the cake. Apologies for the late response and hopefully you try baking the cake again.
Hello I woke love to try this recipe but we do not eat eggs therefore any chance you can suggest substitute for using eggs. I thank you in advance and look forward to hearing from you soon. Hello Sunil, I have tried aquafaba once in baking but I haven't tested it with this recipe. I found this article useful, you can check it out Egg replacement for baking by the kitchn Kindly let me know which of the recommended substitute you try, I may give it a go myself.
Your receipe made the cake super soft and spongy. Hi Jayne, great minds think alike hey, I will be posting my coffee cake recipe on the blog later in the month. Thank you for your feedback and I am glad you found the instructions easy to follow. Could I make one recipe and divide into three 6" inch baking tins? How long would I have to bake them?
Hi Jamile, I would still recommend 2 x 6" cake pans for this quantity used in the recipe. Thank you for this recipe! It is amaaaaaazing! I use it as a go-to for a quick sweet treat. Simple, to the point, with great results.
Keep up the good work! Hi, after reading all the reviews i want to try this today as a base for a tiramisu cake. I have 2. Can i make the whole recipe in one pan or divide it into 2 pans like u have shown. Will the cake overflow from a 2. How tall is the cake in one pan when you divide it?. Please help. Hi Amita, I would still divide the batter into the two pans as 1 pan might overflow into the oven.
Hi I want to bake cake today with your recipe. I have a 10 inch cake tray. Hi there, thank you for the recipe. It smells awesome but I haven't tasted mine yet. My question is the cake came out like 1 to 1. I followed all in the recipe except I didn't put baking powder. Does that height sound right to you or is it supposed to rise much higher?
Did I do something wrong maybe? I would love to send a photo of the cake for your review if you want to see what I mean. Hi, Melissa, if you used 2 pans for the cake, then it would make sense at 1.
You can send your photo to me on Instagram thedinnerbite or on email thedinnerbite gmail. Thank you and I look forward to seeing your photo. I tried this cake today, It was super easy to whip up, and it came out great! I was a bit nervous about the grams to cups conversion as I do not have a scale. Can you kindly confirm I am using the correct cup amounts.
For the flour, butter, and sugar pls. Hi Rima, thank you for your feedback, happy the cake came out great.
