Whipping the eggs to the specified volume and folding in the flour gently without losing the air help get a light and airy sponge. That done, do add more syrup if you feel the need to. This sponge is more a matter of practice, so keep at it!Suma Rowjeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16265522783704694231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3390649073617163124.post-54523342538398563342012-04-13T15:18:33.037+05:302012-04-13T15:18:33.037+05:30Hi Suma,

Tried this BF cake yesterday & turned out YUMMM!!!..My son & his friends were all excited & finished the cake in no time..Thanks a ton for this receipe!!!..One tiny question: The sponge cake did not rise much on baking like the other cakes would. And the cake portion was slightly hard. I guess had to pour some more sugar water..If u have any tips for a softer cake, pls let me know..Thanks!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3390649073617163124.post-61096672683646996582011-08-06T19:12:53.847+05:302011-08-06T19:12:53.847+05:30hi .the cake luks yummy but can u tell me the subs...hi .the cake luks yummy but can u tell me the substitute for egg.want to try this cake.so pls let me knowmonikahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01609550444155253731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3390649073617163124.post-71173236607611824922011-06-02T11:35:21.990+05:302011-06-02T11:35:21.990+05:30Hi Suma...my sis just wrote me an SMS 7 in the mor...Hi Suma...my sis just wrote me an SMS 7 in the morning that she wants a black forest cake this weekend!

Just can't resist the temptation :)<br />I wanted to know if this sponge cake given in your recipe can be baked in a microwave oven as i don't have an OTG.<br />I usually bake chocolate cakes in a microwave oven( using cooking oil).Since your cake doesn't use either oil or butter can this be baked in a microwave?<br /><br />Please let me know as i can't wait to bake this cake :)<br /><br /><br />Regards,<br />Soniasoniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12472222072200822478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3390649073617163124.post-90266151396145381432010-11-24T18:08:42.938+05:302010-11-24T18:08:42.938+05:30@Sangeetha- Sorry, missed out on answering this qu...@Sangeetha- Sorry, missed out on answering this query. Yes,its Richs.The whipping cream needs to be frozen, I take out the needed portion(after thawing the pack in the fridge for a couple of hours) and then chill in the fridge for 10 hours. Its already sweetened. The previous one is a different recipe with cocoa and oil in it. Hope this helps!<br />@Divya - Thanks so much!!Suma Rowjeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16265522783704694231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3390649073617163124.post-68447796518931578112010-11-24T18:02:54.388+05:302010-11-24T18:02:54.388+05:30I can't believe I missed this post Suma..the B...I can't believe I missed this post Suma..the BF cake looks so professional!!Love the chocolate curls and the cherry deco.Got to try the fatless sponge asap.Looks cool..good job!!Divya Kuduahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09697500855182293698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3390649073617163124.post-16743538033316996742010-11-05T03:46:26.943+05:302010-11-05T03:46:26.943+05:30Hi Suma,

Just ha...Hi Suma, <br /><br />Your cake looks delightful !!!<br /><br />Just have a few doubts<br />1. Is this Richs Whip topping non dairy cream that you used? Usually this has to be kept frozen, so what did you mean by 10 hours refrigerated? On the pack, it says that it has to be kept in the fridge from the freezer for 36 hours before its used. <br />2. Do you add Sugar to the the cream while whipping? Or is it already sweetened. <br />3. Your previous black forest cake looks more darker... so was wondering if you used melted chocolate instead?<br /><br />Thats all for now !!! Thanks a bunch in advance<br /><br />SangeethaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3390649073617163124.post-9294113511445750692010-07-20T19:34:09.231+05:302010-07-20T19:34:09.231+05:30This looks awesome!!
