Ginger Sponge Cake


Dec 01 03:43pm
Ingredients

• 4 eggs, separated
• 2/3 cup caster sugar
• 2/3 cup plain flour
• 1/3 cup cornflour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 3 teaspoons ground ginger
• 300g marg/butter
• extra 1 tablespoon caster sugar
• 2 tablespoons ginger
• 1/3 cup jam
• icing sugar mixture, to decorate

Method
1. Grease two deep, 20cm round cake pans. Line bases with baking paper.
2. Beat egg whites in a large bowl with an electric mixer until firm peaks form. With motor operating, gradually add sugar, beating well until sugar is dissolved. Add yolks, beat until mixture is thick and fluffy.
3. Sift combined flour, cornflour, baking powder and ginger over egg mixture. Using a metal spoon, gently fold into flour mixture. Divide mixture among prepared pans.
4. Cook in a moderately hot oven (190C) for about 15 to 20 minutes or until sponges come away from sides of pans. Turn onto wire racks to cool.
5. Place cream in a chilled bowl with extra sugar, beat with an electric mixer until firm peaks form. Fold in chopped ginger.
6. To serve, spread jam over one sponge layer, then top with ginger cream and remaining sponge. Dust with sifted icing sugar mixture.

Is it an old wives tale or true that you can substitute sr flour for plain flour and baking powder?
