    I just made this sponge and it was lovely. I made a few adjustments but loved the outcome. I hand sifted the dry ingredients twice and sat them to the side (this is where 2 bowls would come in handy) I used caster sugar ground it and then added the eggs. I mixed the eggs and the sugar on 37°C for 8 minutes on speed 4. I then set the time for 1 minute speed 3 and sifted the dry ingredients through the measuring cup hole. Then scraped down the sides, and the top of the butterfly mixer and mixed a further 10 seconds on speed 3.
    The cake was lovely and light. Thanks for sharingSmile

    I would mill my sugar.. Than put it to the side.. Tham put in my all ingredients but not the eggs,  and mill them.. Than put the in a dish and clean out the bowl and dry.. Than add the egg whites one and mix till they peak.. Than slowly add the sugar over 5 mins.. Than add egg yokes.. Than fold in all the other ingredients.. And it should work than..

    I have made this recipe for "Nanny's Birthday Sponge" Twice. THough I followed the recipe to the  tee

    and the  taste was very good. I was over all not impresed. the mixture is heavy and falls to the bottom of the Lined Tin and forms a band of heavy stickey mix on the botton of the cake..it stays like that after its baked. though i must say the flavor is good and it dose rise well just spoiled by the stickey base . I may try again with a few changes.??
