Cake time

Yesterday i needed to bake a cake fast as my almost full whipped cream was entering its second week and i was afraid that it would go sour. I wanted to bake this cake for a while now and i just could not find the right mood and time to do it. And so the right time came just because of the whipped cream. This is a genoise cake and strawberry whipped cream (i didn't use strawberry fruit like the recipe calls for ...too expensive... i sub it with strawberry emulco). Well the cake rosed up beautifully and it was soft and light.. like that sponge cake. And i believe i have found my sponge cake.

Here's the recipe for genoise cake:

1/3 cup of cake flour
1/3 cup cornstarch
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa
3 eggs
3 egg yolks
3/4 cup granulated sugar
pinch of salt

1)Preheat at 180C
2)Sift cake flour, cornstarch and cocoa
3)Beat together whole eggs, egg yolks, sugar and salt at medium speed
4)Place over simmering water. Remove
4)Increase speed to high
5)Add dry ingredients in 3 additions
6)Bake for 30 mins
7)Cool in pan for 10 mins
8)Loosen the edge and invert cake onto rack.
