Weighed outside their shell is the way to go for total accuracy, but in the shell is close enough for most purposes
I just zero the scales with a soup dish on, then put my eggs in. They slip off it into the mixing bowl easily enough.Hi, I'm a Board Guide on the Old Style and the Consumer Rights boards which means I'm a volunteer to help the boards run smoothly and can move and merge posts there.

Hi
I would also recomend Delia's all-in-one.
My tip is to beat everything together until the mix has changed to a lighter colour, they will then come out light and fluffy!
Hope that helps

Since finding buttermilk in asda my sponges have been delicious, light, soft & fluffy. I don't do anything technical just whack everything in a bowl, give it a good mix with my hand mixer and pop it into the oven.0 -
In their shells - it's less messy!Do you weigh the egg in it's shell or not! I know it probably seems obvious - but I'm having a blonde day!"Cheap", "Fast", "Right" -- pick two.0 -
ka7e - following on from your advice I currently have a victoria sponge baking away in the oven!
I've put it in at 170C (fan oven) for about 25 mins - is this okay?

Timing really depends on the diameter and depth of your baking tins! I tend to use small deep one rather than the large shallow ones. I grease and flour the tins AND put a circle of greaseproof paper in the bottom. It's soul-destroying to put all that effort into your sponge and have it all stick inside the tin! (Nice with custard though )
SOOooo. How did it turn out. I'm getting nervous now."Cheap", "Fast", "Right" -- pick two.0 -
I find that by separating the eggs and whisking the eggwhites its a lot lighter fluffier sponge.Annual Grocery budget 2018 is £1500 pa £125 calendar month £28.84 pw for 3 adults0
