Important tips:
- Avoid excessive folding in as the cake will have a poor volume and heavy texture
- Do not add the syrup onto the cake if it is still hot
A quality sponge cake has the following characteristics:
- A flat or slightly rounded top
- An even, delicate brown crust
- A small uniform, resilient, golden yellow crumb
- It is tender, light, moist and neither sticky nor dry
- Delicate flavor
