Taro Sponge Cake



This is the first time I made sponge cake from scratch and decorated it. I didn't use any special cake decorating tools since I don't have any. I made a pastry bag out of wax paper and cut the edge to make the border and wordings. The wordings was made from melted chocolate.

I found the recipe here. It has quite detailed step by step instructions and tips, but maybe not detailed enough for me because it didn't mention how long to beat the egg whites and yolks. I didn't beat the eggs long enough so it turned out to be hard at the bottom. So I googled for another easy sponge cake recipe and made another batch right away. This second recipe turned out okay but it was not as sponge as I expected since it didn't use any additives. Well, despite the not so spongy cake, it is still eat-able .
