Hi Aunty,
I tried baking sponge cake but my cake usually dry and does not become fluffy. Realise whenever I try to fold in the butter, the bubble deflate, can you advise how to avoid and make great sponge cake? Also, how to prevent cake from "shrinking" upon cooling? Mine will "shrink" in height.
Hi csee,
when you fold in the butter, fold lightly. Use your spatula to go right down and sweep up to the top. Repeat a few times and it should be done. It's better to have a few traces of egg part not properly folded rather then getting a deflated batter. Normally a cake will shrink slightly at the side and in height too. So it's o.k.

HI AUNTY,
WHT'S A FRESH CREAM?
SOREE FOR MY SILLY QUESTION.
REGARDS,YS
Hi YS,
Fresh cream (whip cream) is a dairy or non-dairy cream which has to be whipped before creaming onto the cake or you can just add into your cream cheese filling without whipping. You can buy them from supermarkets. There are huge range of whipping cream on the rack.

Thank you for such a fabulous recipe. The cake fluffs up very well and cooks so fast. Instead of strawberry I used an apple/peach mixture with nectarine juice and it was delicious warm and cold.
Oh hi Pierre,
That's great. You're very creative. Thumbs Up!!
