Sponge cake in a frying pan without an oven

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make a sponge cake in a frying pan without using an oven? Very simple. To begin, prepare the necessary ingredients according to the list. Take premium flour. Eggs are needed either selected or first category.

2. STEP 2

   

   Melt the butter first on the stove or in the microwave and cool to room temperature.

3. STEP 3

   

   Beat the eggs with sugar into a fluffy foam. The airiness of your cake depends on how you beat the eggs. You can’t beat the mixture until it’s white and thick—the whites will lose the air bubbles that lift the dough. And in this case, even baking powder will not help. The dough will either not rise at all or rise very weakly.

4. STEP 4

   

   Sift the flour with baking powder and pour into the egg mixture in parts, beating each time with a mixer until smooth.

5. STEP 5

   

   At the very end, pour in the cooled melted butter and beat the mixture again until smooth at low speed.

6. STEP 6

   

   Line a frying pan with a thick bottom (Ø 24-26 cm) with parchment. To prevent the dough from flowing under the parchment, it must be well oiled. Then the parchment will fit tightly to the bottom. If possible, it is better to line the sides with parchment too. Pour in the biscuit dough.

7. STEP 7

   

   Cover the pan with a lid and place over low heat. Bake for 25-30 minutes until done. It is better not to open the lid for the first 20 minutes, because the biscuit may settle. If the bottom of the sponge cake is well baked, but the top is not yet ready, you can carefully turn it over and bake for another 2-3 minutes.

8. STEP 8

   

   Place the finished biscuit on a plate and remove the parchment. You can make a cake out of it by coating it with cream. I sprinkled the sponge cake with cocoa and served it to the table. Bon appetit!

Thanks for the wonderful recipe! It is good not only for emergency situations (when the oven breaks down, for example, or you are at the dacha, where there is simply no oven). I personally liked it so much that I will cook it more often. Everything worked out the first time, although, I admit, I was afraid that my dough wouldn’t rise as well as the author of the recipe; I don’t have very good baking skills. That's why I baked with two layers. I coated it with jam and added whipped cream on top of the jam. The taste was amazing - very tender, pleasant and you can’t tell that it was baked in a frying pan.
