Aunty,

When making a traditional sponge cake (9" round) - no optima and no ovalette... is it best to fill up the whole tin with the batter then split the cake into two or to make two separate thinner cakes?

Hi jen

If you are poor in slicing the cake, split the batter into two and then bake. Save you all the slicing but your oven must be able to accomodate the trays.

Hi Aunty,

thanks for your quick reply. But my concern was actually regarding the texture or moisture of cake. Will the cake be drier/tougher (bec it cooked longer) in one tin than if I split them into 2 tins?

Also, when you fold the flour and also the oil in the beaten whole eggs with sugar, do you fold w/ a spatula or let the mixer fold it in slow speed?

thank you thank you!!!
