Sponge cake - 395 cooking recipes

The basic version has been known for more than four centuries and remains unchanged. For a sponge cake, cake layers, syrup, cream and decorations are prepared. The dough for a homemade recipe is prepared from eggs, sugar and flour. Base - for every 4 eggs, 110 g of sugar and 145 g of flour (50 g is better replaced with almond flour - this is the secret of world-famous confectionery shops). Beautiful and fashionable - made of three layers. Tall and “skinny” ones, which do not spread out across the dish, are in fashion. We bake, cool, stand (for density and to withstand its weight) - and assemble. For impregnation, syrups are taken (ready-made or we cook at home as needed). It can be transparent, it can be colored. Those who like dry ones don’t soak them. Cream – protein, sour cream, butter, curd, chocolate, custard. Homemade cake recipes are high in calories and varied. The simplest one is condensed milk with butter. Or sour cream with powdered sugar (and starch, if the sour milk is liquid). It is convenient to apply them from a bag with a medium-diameter round nozzle. So the thickness of the coating will be the same. We level it with a spatula, spatula or spoon (you can also make patterns with it). Lastly, we cover the top. The decor is cream patterns, marzipan figurines, store decor (pearls, sprinkles, figurines, flags). Salted caramel, mirror glazes, fresh berries and fresh flowers piled high at the very top are popular.
