Sponge cake (simple and delicious)
Description
Delicious baked treat for the whole family. The sponge cake made according to this recipe slightly differs from the classic version, as you need to add some softened butter at room temperature to the batter. Thanks to the butter, the cake layer turns out more moist and stays fresh longer. It's best to bake this sponge cake in a small-diameter pan so that it rises higher and can be sliced into several layers. Use sour cream, whipped cream, or condensed milk-based cream as filling. The dessert is ready. Serve at the table.
