Made this today. I used caramel essence as well as vanilla and it was so nice. My husband really liked it. I covered it in cream and fresh strawberries. I baked it about an extra 5 to 10 minutes. Id read in the reviews that it wasnt sweet enough so added 2 TBSP of caster sugar as well. YUM! Def will be making it again! Thanks~!!!

This is the cake recipe I have been looking for for years! It was easy to make and turned out light and tasty, with a texture and flavour just like childhood birthday cakes. Perfect - thank you.

great cake ,easy to make only downside :it was kind of raw in the centre so had to put it back in the oven .but the taste was pretty good

I was doubtful of this cake at first because of how watery the batter was, but as I beat it for a longer time, it thickened a bit. The cake was very springy, moist and was great tasting. I'm not a fan of sponge cake but this was quite yummy. very good recipe.

I followed the instructions as given in the recipe and made this cake today. The baking time was very less. I baked this first at 200C for 10 minutes, then at 150C for 10 minutes, then at 160C for 5 minutes and then at 150C for 20 minutes. The center of the cake is still not set. It is still soggy...and the taste of this cake is not up to the mark. It is not at all sweet. I'm sorry, Anu, but this one was a total disappointment.
