This is one of the best sponges I have tasted.

The texture and taste is so awesome you can

serve it plain without any adornment.

Your choice, to ice the cake or serve it with

custard preferably coffee or chocolate custard.

This cake is baked in a water bath,and the

preparation is totally different compared to

the normal sponge.
