Simple sponge cake

Description

The baking is simple and quick. This cake is incredibly easy to make. This recipe is especially handy when preparing for a family celebration, when you need something delicious but not too formal or complicated. If you like soaking sponge cake, you can mix the strawberry jam, for example, with rum or brandy and use it to moisten the cake layers. By the way, you can bake two sponge layers, or bake one tall cake and then slice it into two layers. Serve cooled or slightly warm.
