Milk sponge cake

Cookinero 10 Mar 2025

Sponge cake differs from other doughs by its fluffiness and tenderness. About 500 years ago, English sailors called biscuits "sea crackers". And all because they did not spoil during a long voyage and were filling. Traditionally, the biscuit was made from sugar, flour and eggs. But over time, other dough recipes appeared. Milk began to be added to it, thanks to which the biscuit turns out airy. Fatty additives are guaranteed to make the finished cake juicy.
