Commonly Asked Questions

How long can I store a sponge cake?

You can store this sponge cake for at least 5 days up to a week. All you have to do is place it in an airtight container and store it in the refrigerator.

How can I keep my sponge cake from shrinking?

Shrinking is a common occurrence in sponge cakes. Usually, shrinking occurs when the baking pan is over greased and the cake batter can’t attach to the sides as it rises. Another reason could be that the cake was overbaked. What you can do to prevent this is to make sure to grease your baking pan with just enough butter to help the cake release from that pan and not leave your cake while it’s baking.
