I really love your blog. May I know how the cake is sliced and is equally divided?

Thanks and regards,

I've tried making sponge cake using a round springform pan but the sides shrank away from the pan after I unmoulded it! My cake became 1" smaller in diameter :( What could be the cause? Should I unmould it immediately or let it sit (which was what I did)? Will using a normal non-springform silver-coloured tin help?
Thanks!; July 14, 2008 10:00 pm
Aunty Yochana said...: Hi Hazel,

If you use the optima sponge mix recipe, the cake will shrink at the sides. The traditional method is better if you don't want it to shrink at the side.

For sponge cake, I suggest you unmould immediately from the tin.

Buy a cake slicer or cake rings to slice your cakes.

me again with a question :->
I tried your spring roll sponge recipe (4eggs) but the sponge is not that fine compare to your roll. Mine has lots of big holes instead of small fine holes - look like the "sponge bob" :/
(wonder how can I show you the picture, as picture explain better) Appreciate your advice.; July 16, 2008 9:40 am

Lim H said...: Hi aunty,
sorry for the confusion. I meant the swiss roll that you baked. (I said sponge cake b'cause the method is same). I make the swiss roll but the texture is very rough (bigger holes) compare to your tiny small holes. I hv posted the picture in my blog. hope you don't mind to stop by and give your advice. tq very much!

Aunty Yochana said...: HI Lim Kitchen,

Looks like you overbeat the egg white, making folding a problem to you. I hope I'm right. So when you can't fold properly, the holes are left behind forming holes after being baked.
