Cost per serving $0.30 view details
  • 8 x Large eggs
  • 250 gm castor sugar, (9 ounce)
  • 250 gm plain flour, sifted (9 ounce)
  • 100 gm unsalted butter, just melted (3

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 180C / 350F.
  2. Break Large eggs into a large bowl. Add in sugar and, using an electric beater, beat till the mix forms a thick ribbon. This takes about 10 min. To incorporate the most air, make large movements with the beater.
  3. Add in sifted flour all at once and, using a rubber spatula, mix in gently but quickly. When you see which the last of the flour has disappeared, incorporate the melted butter quickly, but gently.
  4. Pour the mix into the prepared tin and smooth the top with a spatula.
  5. Bake in preheated oven for 35 - 40 min for the large cake or possibly about 30 min for the smaller ones. Test the sponge by pressing lightly in the centre. If the sponge springs back, it is done.
  6. When the sponge is cooked, remove from the oven and leave to cold for a few min before gently unmoulding onto a cooling rack.
