Dessert: Featherlight Sponge Cake

The quality and age of eggs can affect your sponge cake so use 2 day-old eggs for best results.

Ingredients

4 eggs
3/4 c. superfine sugar
.67 c. cake flour
1/4 c. custard powder or powdered instant vanilla pudding mix
1 tsp. cream of tartar
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/3 c. apricot jam
1 1/4 c. heavy cream

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F/325 degrees F fan-forced. Grease and flour two deep 8-inch round cake pans.
Beat eggs and sugar in small bowl with electric mixer until thick, creamy and sugar is dissolved. Transfer mixture to large bowl; fold in triple-sifted dry ingredients. Divide mixture between pans.
Bake sponges about 20 minutes. Turn, top-side up, onto parchment-covered wire rack to cool.
Sandwich sponges with jam and cream.
