Ingredients :
For a 24 cm (9-inch) cake :
- 5 eggs (at room temperature)
- 300 g (1 1/2 cups) caster sugar
- 100 g (3/4 cup) plain flour
- 200 g (1 2/3 cups) cornflour
- 1 sachet (16 g or 4 tsp) baking powder (optional)
How to make quick Thermomix Sponge Cake:
Let’s prepare the Dough:
- Let’s mount the butterfly and put the whole eggs at room temperature and sugar inside the mug.
- We set SPEED 4 and TIME 5 min.
- Meanwhile, in another bowl we put the flour, starch and baking powder (optional but I put it in for a better and more stable result).
- With the Butterfly in motion SPEED 4 we add the powders a little at a time then run at SPEED 4 and TIME 3 min.
- The mixture will be frothy, if you want in the process you can add some orange or lemon zest to flavor the sponge cake.
COOKING:
- Once the dough is ready we can proceed to baking.
- We lightly butter and flour the baking pan and pour the dough inside.
- We bake in a hot oven 170°C (340°F) static for about 25-30 minutes (I do not recommend the fan mode as it may lower it).
- Once ready let’s take it out of the oven and let it cool completely in the pan then turn it out and use it for our cakes.
Bon Appetit!
