Perfect sponge cake for any celebration and its EGG-FREE!!!<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"summer<\/a><\/p>\n

I\u00a0get a lot of requests for egg-free cakes because of food allergies, religious beliefs or vegetarian diets, so it is great to have a fool-proof eggless cake recipe up your sleeve. This one is the best EF sponge recipe I’ve found so far, it is full of flavour, light, it always cooks in even layers and it’s perfect for under fondant as well.<\/p>\n

Even the harshest egg-free cake\u00a0critics have given my sponge cake the big thumbs up, so that’s\u00a0a mighty big compliment \ud83d\ude42 \"egg-free<\/a><\/p>\n

I often make this cake with 4 layers, but here it is\u00a0pictured on a triple layer\u00a0occasion.\u00a0I made this one for my dad’s birthday where many family members, who don’t eat eggs, were attending. He particularly wanted a sponge cake because it brings back memories of his childhood. He often reflects back to his school days, after he’d moved\u00a0to\u00a0the big smoke, from his little country town,\u00a0to live with his aunty\u00a0whom, by all accounts,\u00a0spoilt him rotten! Every afternoon when he got\u00a0home from school, his aunty would have a light, fluffy sponge cake,\u00a0filled with jam and cream and a cup of tea waiting for him. What a life!! \"layered<\/a><\/p>\n

So the challenge for me was to make a light, fluffly sponge cake without the magic ingredient… eggs!\u00a0This is the cake I came up with and he really loved it.\u00a0I went with the traditional jam and cream filling (to give him the full reminiscing experience)\u00a0and then\u00a0decorated with frangipanis, passion fruit, strawberries and blueberries to give it a summer feel, seeing his birthday falls in summer.<\/p>\n

Here is the magic recipe!\u00a0
