Sponge Mixture
Method

THIS METHOD USING THE 'ALL-IN-ONE' METHOD OF CAKE MIXTURE!

1. Light the oven to 180°c or Gas 5.

2. If you make a sponge you need to grease the tins and line them- this is done by drawing around the base of the tin onto greaseproof paper and cutting it out. This must then be placed into the base of the tin.

3. Crack the eggs into a small bowl or jug to check them.

4. Sieve the flour into the mixing bowl.

5. Add in all the the other ingredients and mix together using an electric mixture.

6. Divide the mixture between the tins/cases.
