GLORIOUS SPONGE CAKE

Steps:

• Separate the eggs. In a large mixing bowl, beat egg yolks until very thick and lemon colored. Beat in sugar gradually. Add water, lemon extract and lemon rind. Beat in flour.
• In another bowl, beat egg whites until frothy. Then add cream of tartar and salt. Beat mixture until whites are stiff, but not until they are dry. Fold this whipped mixture into yolk mixture.
• Pour batter into an ungreased 9 inch tube pan. Bake at 325 degrees F (165 degrees C) for one hour, or until done.

COCONUT AND VANILLA SPONGE CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to Gas3/160°C/Fan 150°C. Grease and line a 7-inch round baking tin.
• Combine caster sugar and butter with an electric hand whisk until fluffy. Add in the flour, baking powder, eggs, desiccated coconut, vanilla extract and dried fruit (if using) and mix until well combined. If the mixture is a little stiff, add a little milk to loosen it.
• Pour mixture into the pre-lined baking tin and bake for 50-mins, or until golden brown and firm all the way through. When cake is done, remove from the oven and transfer onto a wire rack. Leave to cool before removing from the tin and decorating.
• Decorate with coconut pieces, honey drizzle and icing sugar! Or, if you're feeling creative, turn it into a sponge sandwich with a vanilla buttercream filling!
