The easiest sponge cake for a cake
Description
To make a sponge cake for a cake, you'll need five large eggs, flour, sugar, and a bit of starch. I add starch so the cake absorbs the cream better later. This amount yields a fairly large cake layer that can easily be sliced in half. By the way, this sponge cake is great for soaking with liqueur or any other syrup. Serve it warm or chilled. Perfect with tea.
