!.!.and it came out perfect! I just used pastry flour, egg, and vanilla essence!. No oil and no butter! So I just wondered why they call for butter when making these!. Anyone know why!?Www@FoodAQ@Com

Answers:
True sponges don't contain fat!. Victoria sponges do - they probably use less eggs, though!.
And less beating!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Sponges do not contain butter or oil- you usually pair them with butterry icing or whipped cream to make up for this whilst still maintaining the lighness of a sponge!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
because butter makes any kind of cake delicious!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
