Fantastic!! A big WOW when I took it out of the oven.
Perfect recipe, it freezes well too.
It's the first spong cake I have made that doesn't look like a pancake!
Been trying to find a wheat free sponge cake that works and this does and tasts good too. I used sunflower oil as that is all I had as it doesn't state any particular oil to use in the recipe. Is this right I wonder? Would a lighter oil make a lighter sponge? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I have just got this out of the oven and it is bloomin' fantastic. It has risen perfectly and looks like a normal sponge cake instead of a flat thing. Clever Jubes. Thanks!

*Note: I used normal wheat flour as it wasn't for a gluten intolerance* So impressed! My daughter's friend has a nut and egg allergy and I wanted to make the same cake as everyone else (chocolate frosted cup cakes). I've never cooked without eggs and was doubtful if the cake would turn out very good and was prepared, at best, for a "good allergy cake". But no! Within minutes of being in the oven I could see them puffing up beautifully. This was like any normal cake I would enjoy. Slightly tackier on the bottom from using oil instead of butter, but only noticeable when warm. Once they cooled, they were just moist, fluffy, delicious cakes. Better than my usual sponge cake with eggs, so I will be using this recipe from now on, even though we don't have any allergies!
Thank you so much!

Hi Jubes! Another easy recipe for those who have multiple allergens. Dd and I liked the cake a lot and even my dh(not gluten free) ate a few pieces himself. Next time I will try it with milk and add some cinnamon.

Jubes, WARNING!!! plain flour is NOT gluten free. I hope no one made this without realizing this as it would be a problem. I don't mean to be critical but saying the recipe is gluten free when it is not is misleading and could cause an allergic reaction to anyone who is celiac or gluten intolerant. If you meant to specify a particular kind of gluten free flour which would make a good light cake please edit the recipe. Thanks

As I mixed this cake it looked like a play-dough, I followed directions religiously and it looked beautiful when i took it out of the oven. I use a gluten free flour mixed at home. it looked quite brown inside (not overbaked) and smelled unlike gf sponge cakes done with butter 9not surprised). It was overly sweet, brown inside and out, rather beige actually, dense and had a grainy aftertaste. I gave it two stars instead on one becaue, i had never had an eggless, butterless, dairy free cake and thought perhaps this is what they taste like. In all fairness, it was edible. thanks for sharing the recipe, might try again with another combination of gluten free mix.
