THank you for the recipe! I think I will have trouble finding sago flour, but if I see any in my local Chinese supermarket I will grab it and have a go. It would make a lovely V day's treat as well!

Hey those cakes look delicious! I am a big fan of English Victora Sponge Cakes but these look even lighter.
Just two questions - what is "cake flour"? I'm no expert but I've never heard of it. In the UK we tend to just have self-raising or plain flour.
When you say a teaspoon of vanilla, do you mean a liquid vanilla extract they sell in little bottles or are we talking real vanilla scraped from vanilla pods?
Thank you!

marissa, when beating the butter and sugar, it has got to be till a pale and lighter in consistency. Dry cakes or cracked tops may be due to your oven which me be set too hot. If you have a deep pan of more than 3" then i suggest you use two pans and divide equally. Your cake may be too thick and the insides may not cook well enough, thus the outer parts are burnt or cracked.

add in the flour at the final step. DO NOT beat this step, just use a flat spatula and 'fold' turn to mix well to incorporate the flour into the wet mixture. You will have cracks in your cake if you beat this step because too much air in the cake batter.

hi there, i tried this recipe just now but the cake turned out with cracks on top, dry at the side and wet inside at the base. may i know why is that so? what size pan should i use? i used a 9" non stick pan. abt 3 1/3" deep. and i baked it using a conventional microwave. how long do i need to beat the sugar n butter and when i fold in the flour? what speed do i need to use? do all these matter? hope to hear from you soon. thks.

2011-08-27T10:15:58.116+08:00

Hi, I've always fail to make sponge cake despite 3 times trying, the texture always come out not right. But i succeeded w this recipe..but the only different i make is that i use some confectioners in place of the granulated sugar because i did not have enough of normal sugar..I baked it in a 180 oven for 20 mins in a 7 inch pan but the cake is still very wet, so i had to bake it for like another 15 minutes extra until it's cooked...when it come out..it's nicely bake and have a very fine texture but my cake is slightly chewy..it's not totally soft...i wonder why is the reason..is this because I overmix the batter? or because of the longer period of baking or? and I sifted the flour for 3 times, twice into a bowl and the last time, i sifted it into the egg mixture, i mix in the flour in 3 additions, and 2 addition for the rest of the wet ingredient..

Hi,

Thanks for the lovely recipe..Tried baking it using a 3 in 1 oven. H/w, my problems are similar to the rest. Do you have any inkling why the following occurred?

1) Cake did not rise much (pretty much compressed for a 8" cake tin)

2) The bottom & side of cake were wet while the top was alrdy brown

Thanks!

yayah - thanks for the compliments. wow your variation sounds just as yummy!

anonymous april 16 - the combination of both flours is just right for a nice rise, not overdone. one can still use baking powder with plain flour but this method i've used is by trial and error. so you don't have to go do a trial and error or time taken measuring your plain baking flour and baking powder again. hope it helps.

tan, yes this cake can hold fondant paste. but this cake is rather rich, still, some with a sweet tooth may like it. reduce your sugar in the cake a little if you use fondant.

cynthia - to make marble, replace the plain flour, self raising flour mixture with 60gm of each plain flour, self raising flour and dutch process cocoa powder. then, use this batter to mix with your regular butter batter.

honey - yes, i use this for my cupcakes when i'm lazy using baking pans.. it's just as delicious.

2011-06-01T21:43:54.214+08:00

anonymous feb 18 - the heat and depth/size of the pan has to be coordinated by trial and error. if you use the Sarah Lee pan, moderate heat of 160-175 deg should be good enough. but then again, it also depends on diff oven brands that may generate higher heat.

just try to bake in moderate heat always and not have the pan too deep.

anonymous march 13 - glad you liked the cake. enjoy baking!

caca - yes, i saw your rainbow cake. weldone :)
