About Sponge cake
Sponge cake is a light and airy dessert known for its simple ingredients and delicate texture. Originating from European cuisine, it typically consists of eggs, sugar, flour, and sometimes a small amount of fat like butter. The eggs are beaten to create volume, giving the cake its signature spongy structure without the need for heavy leavening agents. With no added creams or fillings, sponge cake is relatively low in fat compared to other desserts but still contains sugar as its primary sweetener. While it offers a lighter alternative to rich cakes, its nutritional profile is high in carbohydrates due to the flour and sugar content. As a versatile base, sponge cake is often paired with fresh fruits, allowing for a healthier accompaniment. However, moderation is key, as excessive consumption may contribute to a high calorie intake with limited nutritional value.
