Frequently Asked Questions:
Sponge Cake With Strawberries

If the fruit I choose to make the cake with is strawberries, what can I moisten the cake with?

Usually, simple syrup is the go-to mixture for moistening cake bases.

However, using the liquids that come out of strawberries after sprinkling sugar over them and leaving them for a while is much better for this recipe.

What about baking powder?

No need to use it. This recipe is excellent the way it is.
