Sponge cake recipe?!


Question: Sponge cake recipe!?
I'm making a birthday cake for a friend and i want to get the sponge made tonight!. I've found lots of sponge cake recipes online but I'm not sure how much of each ingredient I'd need for a deep 9 inch cake tin!. Does anyone have a rough idea!?

also, I want to make it in two halves and then fill it with buttercream, but I only have one cake tin!. Is it ok to make the cake mix, wait for half of it to bake and put the rest of the mix in the fridge, and then when the first half is done, cook the remaining mix!?

Help please!

Thanks in advance :)Www@FoodAQ@Com


Answers:
3 medium eggs and their weight in flour, margarine and sugar, so about 6oz (150g) of each, will make a 9inch cake!. Put all the mix in the tin and bake at about 180C until risen and golden!. Check cooked by putting skewer through middle, which should come out clear!. If not, it needs cooking more!. Get some tough sewing thread, and when the cake is cool, use the thread as a slice around the middle, pulling the ends together and through the centre of the cake!. You can use a knife, but thread is more effective!. Better than making two lots of mix, or dividing mix!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

1 pint strawberries or blueberries
1 lemon
6 tablespoons superfine sugar
2 cups heavy cream
3 tablespoons brandy
12 sponge cake shells


Cut the stems off the strawberries!. Wash under cold water, then drain and pat dry with paper towel!. Grate the rind of the lemon onto a small plate and set it aside!. Cut the lemon in half and juice it into a medium bowl, using 1 hand to catch any falling seeds!. Cut the strawberries into slices and add to the bowl along with 3 tablespoons sugar!. Toss until the sugar has dissolved!. Do this at least 1 hour (or up to 4 hours) before you serve them so that the berries get nice and juicy!. Refrigerate them!.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream and remaining sugar with a good-size whisk or an electric mixer until the cream starts to thicken!. Add the brandy and lemon zest, and keep beating until the whipped cream holds little soft peaks!. You can whip the cream up to 1 hour before you serve the shortcakes!. Keep it refrigerated!.

Just before serving the shortcakes, add the berries and their juice to the bowl of whipped cream!. Stir them together gently until the berries are distributed throughout the cream!. The whipped cream will get soft and a little runny, which is exactly what you want!. Set a shortcake shell in the center of each plate and spoon the berry cream over it!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
