The utensil that you have been using for your preparation has to be greased properly and the bottom of the utensil has to be covered with parchment paper. This step has to be completed well in advance, otherwise your mixture will start lingering, as a result of which, and the cake will be hard and brittle in nature.

When you start, the over should always be pre-heated. The shelves should be well arranged in advance. It is always advised that Classic sponge cake should be baked in the middle shelf only. As soon as your mixture is prepared, it is very important for you to place it in the oven. It is because the ingredients that you have added into the mixture will start their work as soon as the mixture is ready or they come into contact with any ingredient that is “wet” in nature. If you want that your cake gets a good rise, place it in the oven as soon as the mixture is ready.

All the ingredients that you will be using for your preparation has to be maintained under room temperature. If the eggs are not maintained at room temperature, they cannot be whipped properly and will lose all the moisture.

It requires the use of a whish or an electric mixer. Beating also helps in incorporating air into the mixture. As it is incorporating air into it, it also releases carbon dioxide because of which heat is released and cake will be light in nature. When beating eggs do not do it directly into the mixture of butter and sugar, doing this will incorporate all the air into the mixture. Take 1 – 2 eggs at a time, and add to the cream and beat them properly using the electric mixer.
