Sounds so simple and straightforward but I know the results are FABULOUS! Your sponge cake is my favourite at RVL. Even better than the Banoffee one!

Hi Rita- I promise this recipe works. Gen at the Newsagent gave it to me and I've used it ever since.

I made this sponge yesterday for a friend's birthday and can say it is the best I have ever made. But it is HUGE. I should have used the largest tin I own. I was so impressive. Now I can't wait to make lamingtons with it too. Many thanks for the tutorial.
