Here is an important recipe for light cheesecakes. For most of the light cheesecakes, you need either biscuit crust or sponge cake as the cake base. I normally bake one vanilla sponge cake and one chocolate sponge cake, keep in the freezer. Just remove the cake from freezer an hour before baking, and you are ready to bake any light cheesecakes!

VANILLA SPONGE CAKE RECIPE
Ingredients
4 eggs
80g plain flour, sieved
3/4 tbsp cake emulsifier (SUPER SPONGE, yellow color)
2 tbsp water
60g caster sugar
50ml vegetable oil

Method
1. Preheat oven to 180C. Line an 8″ round cake tin.
2. Whist all ingredients except oil, at high speed until fluffy.
3. Add in oil and stir well at low speed.
4. Pour the batter into cake tin and bake at 180C for 25-30 min or until cooked.
5. Remove cake and leave to cool. When the cake is cool, slice into 3 layers.

    Hi Suzette, I did this last weekend but I did not get the spongy texture..it was like too compact…what does it really mean by fluffy?I beat it for around 3 minutes and the mixture is still running..*sigh** I still failed to produce a good sponge cake..(:

    Jude: This should yield you about 3 slices of 7-8mm thick sponge cake slices, so the total thickness is not more than 3 cm. If you get that, then it should be fine. Fluffy means the mixture is not ‘heavy’, is kind of… err.. creamy. The egg mixture becomes light in color instead of the bright yellow before whipped. The slicing of the cake into 3 thin slices needs a bit more ‘kungfu’ I have to say. I failed so many times in the beginning, but slowly mastered it now. :)

    oo..then I expect the wrong one.I expect this to be the light sponge cake that can be used for ordinary cake..not for base..Yes,indeed I got the 3cm thick. Could you share a spongy cake recipe?Thanks very much.

    Oh! Sorry to hear that. I think you might be looking for chiffon cake recipe? Or look for angel cake recipe. That might be very fluffy enough (I guess your ‘spongy’ means fluffy/ airy)…

    I remember the cake’s texture is quite spongy. Hope this is the right one you are searching for. ^_^
