Fruit sponge cake
Description
The baking is prepared simply and quickly. The sponge cake made according to this recipe turns out light and tender. For the cream, combine cottage cheese, butter, and powdered sugar. If the cream is too thick, you can add a little homemade yogurt or sour cream. Do not make the cream runny, because the sponge pairs better with a thick cream. In this recipe the finished sponge is soaked with orange juice, but you can use any syrup of your choice. It can be served with tea or coffee.
