PAPER-LINED SPONGE CAKE

It's been awhile i haven't posted any new recipe. Actually, school works keep me busy all the time, even in the weekend, instead of baking, i have to clean up messy stuff around the house. Luckily, i don't have to go 2 school for 5 days because of thick snow outside...yayyyy meee!!! I finally came up with the paper-lined sponge cake. There are various recipes i found and tried but not successful indeed.I failed 2 times already because of the pictures i saw make me eagerly rush to the kitchen without any consideration. Those failures remind me to be more cautious this time. I elaborated every site and brought into comparision of different measurement and ingredients.In the end, i came up with the fastest and easiest ways to bake this beautifully spongy and fragant cake.You can prefer to the "JoDeliBakery" for more specific instruction.
