This recipe is from a site that we discovered on line a while ago. It claimed that it was an easy cake and even kids could make it. The original recipe can be found here... http://www.bestrecipes.com.au/recipe/Sponge-Cake-L579.html We make a few of them and the only trouble we had was our oven was a little hot for the cakes and browned them a bit . If you saw a cake i made on face book the other day you will see what they come out like.
