Sponge cake with soda
Description
Tasty baked goods for the whole family. Baking a sponge cake is very easy. The cake turns out fluffy, tender, and delicious. To prevent the sponge from sinking, as soon as you take it out of the oven, flip the pan upside down and place it on three glasses or cups. Keep it like this until the sponge is completely cooled. Good luck. Serve warm or chilled. Perfect with tea.
