Sponge Cakes

Ingredients

• eggs
• water (optional)
• baking powder

Directions

The book gives no oven temperature. The 300°F (150°C) in the steps was added when the recipe was transcribed, as a starting point. The book gives no cooking times either; the times in the steps were added in transcription, so check for doneness rather than trusting the clock.

1. Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).

2. In a mixing bowl, beat the eggs until they are light and frothy.

3. If using, add water and baking powder to the eggs and mix well.

4. Pour the batter into a prepared cake pan.

5. Bake for about 75 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
