Recently I went to a birthday party and at the end of the festival was presented with a beautiful cake beautifully decorated with chocolate and fruit. While I ate I thought that most of the parties I attended (weddings, birthdays, etc.) the cake was the very classic sponge cake, filled as desired but still the good old sponge cake. In fact I had never done at home. Yes, I have always done a lot of cakes, but never the various types of sponge cake. So to start, sponge cake with cream pastry, wet rum and whipped cream. A taste that never fails.
E 'need 1 egg every 30 to 25 grams of flour and sugar. So, for a 26 cm diameter cake I used: 5 eggs
150 grams of flour 125 gr sugar
I put the whole eggs with sugar for about half an hour (this is very important , do not tire), then I added gradually incorporating the flour by moving the spoon from the bottom up (a bit like you do with egg whites). I cooked in a hot oven at 150 degrees for 45 minutes in a springform pan coated cartaforno.
I cut in two, and I wet sponge the two sides with a little wet made by dissolving sugar in boiling water, once cooled I added all the rum (the proportions vary depending on your taste, you see).
I filled the cake with cream, two egg yolks with 50 grams of processed sugar, I added gradually 15 gr of flour, little by little I paid 1 / 4 pint of boiling milk, flavored with vanilla and always turning everything I put on the fire until it reached the desired consistency. I decorated the cake with whipped cream (green Cosetti those in the photo are white chocolate).
