Wet sponge cake

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr 20 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to bake a wet sponge cake? Prepare all the necessary ingredients. According to the season, I used strawberries to decorate the cake, and as a soaking - cherry syrup from canned cherries, with the addition of a tablespoon of cognac. If you are preparing this biscuit for children, do not add alcohol.

2. STEP 2

   

   How to make dough for a simple wet sponge cake? To begin, take a baking dish, cover it with foil and grease it with vegetable oil.

3. STEP 3

   

   Now beat the eggs into a deep, convenient container (so as not to stain the table with splashes), add sugar and vanilla sugar. Before using, wash eggs in warm water and baking soda, as they may contain harmful bacteria. Instead of vanilla sugar, you can use vanillin, but you need to take it on the tip of a knife, since a larger amount will add bitterness to the finished baked goods.

4. STEP 4

   

   Beat the egg mass with a mixer at maximum speed until the mass triples, this will take 3-4 minutes.

5. STEP 5

   

   Pour the flour sifted with baking powder into the well-beaten egg mass and mix for another half a minute with a mixer at low speed. You may need a little less or more flour, depending on the required consistency of the dough. It should be neither thick nor liquid, viscous.

6. STEP 6

   

   Quickly pour the finished biscuit dough into the greased pan.

7. STEP 7

   

   Immediately place the pan with the dough in the oven and only now turn on the oven so that it warms up to 180 degrees.

8. STEP 8

   

   The total baking time for our sponge cake will be about 40 minutes. The times are approximate, be guided by the operating characteristics of your oven. When the sponge cake is baked, turn off the oven and open it, let the sponge cake cool gradually in the open oven.

9. STEP 9

   

   When our wet fluffy sponge cake has cooled in the oven, remove it from the pan, remove it from the foil and cut it into two layers.

10. STEP 10

    

    Pour the impregnation evenly over the sections of both cake layers.

11. STEP 11

    

    How to make sour cream for wet sponge cake? Combine cooled sour cream, sugar and vanilla sugar in a container.

12. STEP 12

    

    Beat the sour cream and sugar with a mixer for 2-3 minutes until the sugar dissolves. Then add the thickener to the cream and beat for another two minutes.

13. STEP 13

    

    Generously coat the cut side of one cake layer with the prepared sour cream.

14. STEP 14

    

    Cover the bottom cake with cream with the top cake and also pour the impregnation over the surface of the sponge cake.

15. STEP 15

    

    Cover the top of the sponge cake with sour cream and level the surface.

16. STEP 16

    

    Decorate the cake with fresh strawberry halves and place it in the refrigerator for several hours so that the sponge cake is well soaked and the cream hardens.

For evening tea I decided to bake a wet sponge cake. I increased the amount of flour for the dough to 150 grams; judging by the consistency of the dough, it seemed that 100 grams would not be enough. For impregnation, I took syrup from blackcurrant jam (diluted it a little with boiled water), I did not add alcohol. Now is not the strawberry season, so I decorated the cake with slices of kiwi and tangerine. It turned out to be a very tasty biscuit. A wonderful combination of the sweetness of the biscuit with the light sourness of sour cream, currant soak and fruit. Thanks for the recipe, Elena!
