Sponge Cake

Sponge cake (pandispanya) is a spongy cake base made by whipping eggs and sugar until foamy and gently folding in flour. It rises from the air trapped in the eggs rather than a leavening agent, and forms the basic base of layered cream cakes. Its name comes from the Italian pan di Spagna, meaning 'Spanish bread.'

Where It’s Used

“Cut the sponge cake in half horizontally and place cream and fruit in between.”
