French sponge cake
I have been learning to bake for some time, and I have never made a sponge cake before, because the practice of sponge cake requires the whole egg to be beaten. For a novice like me, the whole single method is much more difficult than the egg whites alone, so I have always been afraid that it will waste the ingredients if I can't make it well. I suddenly thought of sponge cake that day and still wanted to try it. Qi Feng didn't drive me crazy. This sponge cake should not be scary. I dare not try and will never make it. I will just do it. I didn't expect it to be made in this way. The appearance was not ideal, but the taste was still good, but it was not as delicate as Qi Feng. It was a little dry. It was my first time making it, and I was already very satisfied. Haha!

  • French sponge cake Make Tips

    It was the first time I made a sponge cake. I don't know if the eggs were not enough or for other reasons, but the surface of the baked cake was a little dry. I let it cool and put it in a fresh-keeping bag. It was fine the next day. Compared with Qi Feng cake, the sponge cake is not as delicate and fluffy as Qi Feng cake, but it also has the advantage that it will not shrink after baking, and the taste is also good.
