White Sponge Cake


Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Grease 3- 12 inch cake pans, set aside.

In an electric mixing bowl with a wire whip attachment, add

1 Egg Yolk
2 Whole Eggs

Add, one ingredient at a time

2 cups Sugar
2 tsp Salt
1 1/2 Tbl Baking Powder
5 1/4 cup Cake Flour

Whip until smooth and appearance is light and yellow. Add

1 cup Oil

Continue to mix 1 minute until fully incorporated. In a separate clean, dry bowl, with wire whip, add

20 Egg Whites

Whip until stiff, but not dry peaks. In a separate bowl, combine

1/2 cup Granulated Sugar
2 tsp Cream of Tartar

Add to egg whites and mix quickly. Remove egg white mixture to a large, dry mixing bowl. Incorporate the first mix a little at a
time by folding in and mixing by hand. Be careful not to overmix. Spoon finished mixture into cake pans, spreading evenly.

Bake at 400 degrees for 35 to 40 minutes. Cooking time may vary according to equipment and environment. If using an
alternate size pan, the heat should be adjusted. The deeper and wider your cake pan, the lower you should have the heat.
Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into cake, when it comes out clean, cake is done.

Cool cakes on rack before removing from pans.
