Honey Cinnamon Sponge Cake

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Cakes and Desserts
The soul of sponge cake is air trapped in egg foam. This physical leavening raises the batter as gases expand in heat. Adding honey makes the cake heavier but moister and more aromatic.

Instructions

1 ✓

Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Separate eggs.

Tip: Whites won't whip if any yolk gets in (fat inhibits foam).
2 ✓

Beat yolks with sugar, honey, and vanilla until pale and voluminous.

Tip: Lecithin in yolks emulsifies the batter.
3 ✓

Mix in lukewarm butter, then fold in flour mixed with baking powder and cinnamon.

Tip: Sift flour for airiness.
4 ✓

Whip whites with salt to stiff peaks. Fold gently into batter in 2-3 batches.

Tip: Salt helps stabilize foam.
5 ✓

Pour into pan, bake 30-35 mins. Test with toothpick.

Tip: If toothpick comes out clean, center is set.
