Lovely Light Sponge
The first time I made this, I accidentally left out the Golden Syrup/butter mixture, so make sure you add this back into the bowl in Step 6! 😅 I also used the butterfly in Step 5.
I filled the cake with whipped cream and just dusted it with icing sugar.
My family enjoyed it as much as I did.
Erin.r.b:
It mentions the butterfly in Step 8, when you beat the cream but I also used it in Step 5.
Re the golden syrup mixture, I would suggest you add it in Step 6..."Add remaining ingredients...."
Hope this helps. 😊
Wanting to try this but have a few questions. It says the butterfly is needed in the list of equipment but it doesn't mention it in the method.
Also, when does the butter and golden syrup need to be added back in?
When does the golden syrup and butter mix need to be incorporated into the mixture?
hi, just wondering if the butterfly is used for the sponge at all?
thanks
Very nice. My nana used to make the best ginger fluff sponges for birthdays and family get togethers. Her chocolate sponges with choc cream were to die for too ... Sorry I'm rambling now lol back to topic. This sponge was lovely and light though I dusted it with icing sugar instead of a heavy icing (loved that when I was a kid but find I don't like that much sugar now I'm all grown up). I did add about 1/2 tsp of extra ground ginger to the sponge as personal preference - I highly recommend this recipe. X
Lovely simple cake tasted amazing! I did however use a clean TM bowl to whip the cream and added some extra cinnamon too it. Next time I may add a honey cream frosting instead as the icing but that's just personal choice! Overall a yummy cake!
Step 5, what is the speed???
