This is one of the fluffier gluten-free cakes I have ever had. We discovered it by accident when experimenting. Works good to turn cake over and ice for parties or events. Makes a good half-soccer ball cake.
Sponge Cake
Passover Lemon Sponge Cake
This cake is great for Passover because it uses matzah meal flour instead of regular white flour. It also includes neither butter nor leavening agents. If you cannot find potato flour or matzah meal flour, all-purpose flour will work just fine. However, it wouldn’t be kosher. A good sponge cake needs a great deal of air beaten into the eggs.
Serano Chocolate Cake
Very chocolaty chocolate cake made from scratch! Perfect for kids’ birthday parties and it is good they learn to appreciate the taste of real chocolate and real whipped cream!
Classic Yule Log
A festive holiday cake. Merry Christmas! You will need cinnamon red hard candies and snowmen candy for decorations.
Apricot Sponge Cake
Enticingly good served with fresh-off-the-tree apricots. Garnish cake with fresh sliced apricots and dollops of whipped cream or creme fraiche sprinkle with confectioners’ sugar if desired.
Fresh Apricot-Honey Sponge Cake (Russian Style)
Summer is the time when we can forget about tinned fruit and canned preserves, and can finally enjoy the full, rich flavour of fresh fruits. This is a great fruity, juicy sponge cake made from lots of real apricots with a gentle hint of honey. Fabulous for sweetening up mid-summer tea time!
Opera
I first tried this at baking school, and I became addicted to it…it is a layered dessert of a thin cake with ground almonds, filled with ganache and coffee buttercream, and topped with more ganache. It’s a lot of steps, but well worth the effort. You can make all the parts a few days in advance and store, tightly covered, in the refrigerator. Just be sure to let the buttercream and ganache soften for a while at room temperature before spreading.

Passover Sponge Cake
A light dessert for the holiday. For chocolate sponge cake add 1/2 cup of cocoa to the batter.
Latvian Honey Cake
It’s one of the most popular Latvian cakes – simple and delicious! It requires a little work but it’s definitely worth it! I’ve made it several times and my preparation skills are improving with every time. Don’t get scared away because of the sour cream, it matches perfectly with the sweet honey taste. The cake tastes the best after it’s kept overnight in the refrigerator, the flavors will blend together nicely. I use a 9×13 inch baking pan, but another similar size will do.
Mocha Sponge Cake
This is a wonderful light sponge cake, flavored with coffee and a hint of chocolate. This may also be made in an 8 cup decorative pan.
