Basic sponge for many cakes.

Recipe for basic sponge:

6 eggs

180 grams sugar

 120 grams flour

30 grams potato flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

Add eggs and sugar to a bowl of a mixer. Whip for several minutes to get a thick mass. Add carefully the rest of the ingredients with a hand spatula. Spray the cake pan before you add cake into it. Put the cake pan in the bottom of the oven, 160 degrees for about 35 minutes. Cool off the cake before you cut it in parts for as many layers you want.  Do not forget to sprinkle each layer of the cake with such as milk, juice or pineapple juice, if not you get to eat a very dry cake.

Remember the double portion to have double cake!

This is just a basic recipe to use with many kinds of decoration. You can also vary filling if you want; different kinds of jam, vanilla cream, chocolate pastry puff or anything else you might want and like.

There are a number of different shaped cake pans to buy. If you don't have the one you need you can cut out the shape you want with a knife.
