Hey @Eryk23
Certainly! When it comes to baking a sponge cake, here are a few tips to prevent it from turning out dry or too dense:
Measure your ingredients accurately. This is especially important for the flour, as too much flour can make the cake dry.
Mix the ingredients gently. Overmixing can make the cake tough.
Use room temperature eggs and butter. This will help to create a better texture.
Don't overbake the cake. Follow the recommended baking time and use a toothpick to check for doneness.
Consider using a water bath or adding a bowl of water to the oven. This can help to create moisture, especially in a dry kitchen.
Sift the dry ingredients. This can help to create a lighter texture.
Use fresh and high-quality ingredients.
Practice makes perfect! Baking a good sponge cake can take some practice, so don't get discouraged if your first few attempts aren't perfect. Just keep trying, and you'll improve over time.
Best of Luck!

Hi there! If your sponge cake is coming out dry or clumsy, try these tips: Make sure you’re measuring your ingredients accurately, mix just until combined to avoid overmixing, and check that your oven temperature isn’t too high. Also, start checking the cake a few minutes before the recommended baking time, and let it cool properly in the pan before moving it. Fresh ingredients help too. Hope this helps!
