Recipe For Hot Water Sponge Cake

Recipe For Hot Water Sponge Cake

This recipe for Hot Water Sponge Cake comes from my sister’s tiny book, and that means it’s pretty old – and old-fashioned. I think from sometime around the 1940’s or 1950’s. Of course, there aren’t any instructions as to what kind of pan to use, what temperature to bake it at, or how long to bake it! We’re just supposed to know this stuff! Ha! I’m sure Grandma and her sisters (one was a contributor to said tiny book) always knew what they were doing when it came to baking cakes, or anything for that matter, from scratch. They learned from their mother, and my mom learned from her mother, and I learned from my mother. AND from my 7th grand Home Ec class teacher. There sure weren’t the plethora of cookbooks and cookbook authors then that there are now. I’m sure that’s why those old church cookbooks were so popular back in the day – they were the BEST recipes from your friends and other people you knew. That’s probably why the tiny book was made, and that was even before self-publishing was a thing. I know that happened a lot back then. You were always sure to have really good recipe handy and ready to go with those old cookbooks. This photo shows the family Grandma and her sisters were baking and cooking for. They had a large family, and better yet, they were all at about the age when they’d start marrying and needing those recipes for their own families (Grandma is second from the right).

This photo is so great! I always think it looks like those are palm trees behind them – but it’s their own backyard!

Hot

2 cups cake flour (I don’t ever use cake flour, so I used all-purpose flour, but whisked it thoroughly to lighten it)

Easy! 4 Ingredient Oil Sponge Cake Recipe

You basically mix up the ingredients separately, add them together, and mix in the hot water and extract at the end. You probably have all these ingredients in your pantry or cupboards.

After baking, the top looked a bit weird. If I was going to frost it, it wouldn’t be a problem, but I was serving this with some of our frozen strawberries from last summer, so I went to Plan B – a dusting of powdered sugar!

The strawberries were absolutely perfect with this cake! A bit of summertime sunshine in every bite! I thawed the berries and added a couple of Tablespoons of sugar to make that delicious syrup. Next time I’d try the vanilla extract instead of the lemon – it was not as lemony as I would have liked –  it was kind of a weird lemon taste. I think vanilla will be better.

Thermomix Sponge Cake

I totally recommend this cake for your family! My family loved it and yours will, too! It’s easy to make, pretty fast to pull together, and it is soooo good! Whether you top it with frosting or enjoy it with berries and whipped cream like we did, it’s a winner. A hands down winner. Take advantage of this amazing recipe from that tiny book from years ago, and make this old-fashioned Hot Water Sponge Cake today!How Water Sponge Cake– a sponge cake made with hot water and baking powder, giving it a light and airy texture and covered with an easy and quick caramel frosting.

I’ve become obsessed and my life has now begun to revolve around what I’m baking for the day and if I can organize my day with enough time to not only finish my recipe and have it baked, but also to have enough daylight with which to take adequate pictures.

It was brought to my attention, so now it’s just time to take a step back and prioritize some things early in the game before I get too sucked in.

Japanese Sponge Cake

The cake wasn’t evenly level as you can see and there were some spots when you bit into the cake where all you could taste / see were egg whites. So, fold them in completely.

The cookbook says it’s an easy sponge cake for those new to baking and yes, it is quite good. Just remember folding in those egg whites for those of you who want to make this one. It really is easy.
