Sponge Cake Results

August 10, 2010 By Julie 30 Comments

I know everyone’s expecting a new installment of beyond the basics today and darn if I don’t want to give you one.  But, after a wet and wild week in Ocean City, followed by an amazing weekend in New York, and finishing up with a not-so-amazing 9 hour car ride home yesterday with three small boys in the back asking “are we there yet” more times than I can count, I’m sad to say it’s just not in the cards.

This was our last trip away from home until the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays, so assuming no major disasters, I should be back on schedule from here on out with no more major bumps in the road.  I have some great beyond the basics scheduled for upcoming weeks, so get ready to learn!

In the meantime, I’ll leave you with the promised pictures of the finished sponge cake.  I frosted it with a whipped cream frosting; In a mixer I whipped together 1 cup of heavy cream, 1 heaping tsp of vanilla, and 1/3 cup of sugar until peaks formed.  Then I grabbed 1/2 cup of a berry mix my mother-in-law had on hand (it had cherries, blueberries, raspberries, and strawberries in it), threw it in a blender and pureed it.  I folded that mixture into the whipped cream.  Finally I served the whole shebang up with a couple scoops of the whole juicy fruit mixture on top of the slice.

It’s  a thing of beauty I tell ya.

And check out this fully loaded final slice.

Now THAT’S how you eat a sponge cake!

Tomorrow I’ll be guest blogging over at Annie Bakes where we’ll be (finally!) starting up the three day series on the vegetarian Indian feast I put together a few weeks back.  See you then!

    That cake looks amazing! I can see the sponge; has to be a melt in your mouth. Glad you had fun, but take a deep breath and relax now. Isn't good to be home!

    Yes, yes, OMG YES! We even have our own strawberry planter. It's not bursting with strawberries right now but I'll keep it tucked under my recipe box for when it is. (If I only had all the other fresh berries.) Thanks!

    Ooh, that looks so good. Wish I had one ready right now! And sponge cake is usually a little less fattening and caloric, right? I am sending readers your way from my blog, Grammy Reads, and I know they won't be disappointed!

    Yes, yes, yes! That is the way cake should be eaten. Ok, honestly? I'd also add another dollop of the whipped cream mixture, but I'm bad. 🙁
