Sponge Cake Recipe in gr and cups:
3 Egg Yolks
4 Egg Whites
120 gr Sugar ( 1/2 cup + 2 tbsp)
6 tbsp Milk
3 tbsp Oil ( or butter )
120 gr All Purpose Flour ( 3/4 cup + 2 tbsp)
1 tsp Baking Powder
1 tsp good Quality Vanilla
Zest of half a lemon
Pinch of Salt
The consistency of your batter may change depending which flour you decide to use. I recommend using either all purpose or cake flour.
Enough for 2 Cake Layers. NOTE: Please check the video to see what to pair this cake with. But this cake is also delicious on it's own! :)

Vanilla Butter Cake in gr and cups:
110 gr Softened Butter (1 stick)
40 gr Coconut Oil (3 Tbsp)

3 tsp Baking Powder
120 gr unsweetened full fat yogurt (1/2 cup)
60 gr Milk (1/4 cup)

Enough for 2 cake layers ( or 3 thin layers)
Enjoy!

I loved making this video for you guys! Please share it with your baking buddies and with anyone who wants to learn more about cake making! ❤
And let me know what other scientific/cake topics you'd like for me to cover!
Emma's Goodies it might sound silly but please explain how to cut recipes in half or quarter... please emma. I request this because there are very few people in my family! ❤️
Hi...emma .....am from kerala...am a big fan of u..& making sooooo...yummmmyyy recipes...I tried some cake base recipe...sooo thankyou...dear & keep going with amazing recipes..........🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸
Dear Emma, since I live in Ecuador, a country with high humidity and hot weather most time of the year I would love a lesson on what type of buttercream would be most appropriate or any tips you could share as to avoid the buttercream to melt quickly. Grazie bella 💕🎄
I would love to know how you come up with the ratios of all your recipes. Like are there certain ratios bakers follow or is it just completely from guessing how much of each ingredient to put in and continuing to do that until you get the perfect recipe?
Hi Emma,what can I substitute instead of using yogurt?
I know it's been 2 years since you posted this, but this is now my go to recipe for cakes. The first time I did it, it turned out FANTASTIC, everybody loved it. The second time tho, I didn't mixed the egg whites long enough, but I mixed the whole batter at the end too much and it was a disaster haha. I absolutely love you and your recipes❤
Lmao I still use it
We homeschool our girls, our oldest loves to bake and we use videos like this one in her school. She learns science, math, and LA while she actually learns a craft she loves. Thanks for posting them, you are an excellent teacher. ❤️
Check out Ann Reardon’s channel “HOW TO COOK THAT”. She’s a food scientist and baker, and she does amazing stuff on her channel and always explains the science behind things!
This is so wholesome !
Why did you choose to home-school your children?
Science and baking are my two great passions, and you brought them together in such a beautiful, simple and fun way... Plus, you demonstrated everything "experimentally" like a true scientist! 👏 I would just like to add another important element: refrigeration - sponge cakes are better for recipes which require refrigeration such as cakes that contain fresh fruit, fresh whipped cream etc. which is really important because such deserts are generally consumed in summer time. On the other hand, butter cakes do not handle refrigeration really well because the fat in them solidifies. I hope this is helpful to the people that still might have some cake conundrums, although this video is such an amazing tutorial. Oops, a masterclass! 😉 Anyways, I love your work Emma, keep it up! 😍
Thank you so much Yasin! You made a very valid point there, which I forgot to mention in the video! Thank you for adding this❤ And thank you for your kindness! Sending u my love!
WE ABSOLUTELY need more instructional videos like this! You should have a whole playlist section dedicated to them! also i tried your rich and moist chocolate cake recipe for my father's birthday and it was a TOTAL success!!
Can u make a video about The Diffent Kinds Of Icing and When To Use Them?!?!
Cuz i get baffled about that alot.
Ty♥️🥰
I will keep that in mind for sure! Great suggestion!❤
@@emmasgoodies when's it coming out gurl? ;D it would be so very helpful. ;D
Pleeeasee! I need this too!
@@emmasgoodies yes please do it!!!!!
I need this tooo🥰
This video is excellent, thank you so much! I have a question, though: you mentioned that it's important not to overmix cakes that don't have high fat content because it's very easy for gluten to develop. What would be the consequences of too much gluten developing in a cake? Would the texture become worse, or is it more of a nutritional problem? Thank you!
Sarah Z It will make your cake tough.
Thank you so much Sarah! Like Appaddict said, it will make your cakes tough, kind of like bread. So yes it will worsen its texture. 😘❤
@@emmasgoodies That makes sense. :) Thank you!
Yep
a baking queen AND scientist!!! truly an icon and legend is there anything this gal cant do!?
😍😍 Love, you just made my day! Thank you for all the love and support!❤ I really appreciate your kindness!
That is so sickening, c'mon
@@starlite556 What's "sickening" about what they said?
starlite556 wth?
I love this type of information. As I was watching, I was thinking I would rewatch and take notes. Then suddenly your very neatly organized and highlighted notes appeared! No wonder you are so smart! Best way to learn! And both cakes look so amazing! Thank you for this lesson!
Christine thank you so much! I'm so glad you liked this video! I hope you'll try both of them sometime❤
This is a video anyone who wants to bake a cake should watch before baking. Excellent info. Sometimes, people in online recipe blogs and recipe videos don't know the difference between these cakes, and will show a video where they claim to bake a sponge cake(esp if it is eggless) but are actually cooking a butter cake.
I don’t know how I came across Ur channel but I’m glad I did. Since I was little, I have always wanted to know the science behind everything and I have always loved baking and cooking. Thank you so much. Your explanations are so simple yet thorough. Keep up the awesome work.
I’d appreciate if you could explain the science behind replacing butter with ghee (clarified butter) in different recipes as being a desi, my family usually demands it.
Thanks and loads of love your way.
Thanks for the tips! I didn't realize that the frostings you use makes a difference. I made your brownies the other day btw, and they were the BEST!!!
Yes such a big difference! Awesome you made the brownies!😍
Which brownie recipe???
@@marqueljanebacon4088 It was a fudge brownie recipe, but I can't find the video. Hopefully Emma can share the link. I wish I had written it down.
Hi Emma, I really loved this video & so glad you made this for us. Loved how you demonstrated the liquid in the cakes. I’m a visual person so it was great to actually see what you were talking about. Hope you can do some more videos like this❤️
This video was interesting and so instructive. Honestly I have to admit I used to make the same recipe for both my tres leches and my regular layer cakes. Thanks to this video now I know which recipe to use in the future. You're such an amazing baker Emma. 😘😘😘
I'm so happy you found it interesting and instructive! Thank you so much my dear!❤
@@emmasgoodies your welcome Emma
Thank you for letting us know about the difference of this to type of cakes also the combination of ingredients,have nice evening!
You're very welcome hun! Glad u liked the video!
This is one of my favourite videos of yours! It was really informative, and especially useful at towards the end, when you spoke about pairing different kinds of frosting with different kinds of cake. I also loved the part towards the end when you showed how the different kinds of cake hold up when you "oversoak" them! So interesting, I really didn't know butter cakes and foam/sponge cakes were so different.
Thank you so much Simon! Yes, it's Pretty cool right? Kinda like an actual sponge! I find it so cool! I'm really happy you liked this video!❤
Emma thank you so much for doing this detailed video!!! I was always wondering the difference between sponge cakes and butter cakes but guess what?! You just solved ALL my questions in just 1 video. You’re amazing really!! Keep your hard work!
Marvellous, fantastic and very interesting lesson, indeed 😍
I consider myself just an _amateur_ (let say: less than an hobbyist) on baking: just because I like to cook and "get my hands dirty" doesn't mean I'm a chef, neither a baker, nor anything more than someone capable of preparing a meal without causing the kitchen to explode, probably 😅
So I consider always welcome those kind of videos which not only present a recipe, but also give some interesting "behind the scenes" of some preparations or how some specific recipe works.
Furthermore, I didn't tried many times to prepare spongecakes, 'cause I'm always worried it might fall apart, but now - thanks to your channel and some of your videos - I've learn a couple of tricks I've already used and always resulted in the perfect amount of ingredients and procedures to achieve just the right cake... so THANK YOU VERY MUCH, Emma! 💖
Your cakes are delicious, your channel is awesome and you deserve all of your results 😘 congratulations, and as you already know we say here "92 minuti di applausi"
Love this video! With so many recipes out there it’s so refreshing to see a video breaking down the science of baking. Keep it up!
Thanks so much Emma. I am passionate about baking but with a baby it’s impossible to join any baking course. Your video has helped a lot in understanding the science behind sponge cake. Awaiting more such videos fro u..love from India
I'm glad you found this interesting and helpful my dear! Thank you! I will definitely do more❤❤ Lots of love to u!
What an amazing video Emma! Thank you so much ! I love your channel because you are never afraid to share real recipes and that's the reason they always work! They are so accurate and delicious. I can't wait for the chocolate version of the sponge cake. God bless your generosity! Thank you a lot again. 😍😀.
Gabriela you are so kind! Thank you so much! I'm thrilled to hear you liked this video and my recipes😍 I will surely note that down and do the chocolate version ❤ Sending u my love!
If my physics teacher was as clear as you, I wouldn't have gotten confused between quantum physics and general relativity and failed the final exam.
Love your videos Emma! It's SO easy to follow what you are saying and the video quality is superb! You made mention of your English in a previous video, honestly it is amazing! I could never learn Italian to the level of competency you have with English! This time of year our family makes cookies for days, as many do. I'm following your sugar cookie recipe and will bake them today, the dough just seems perfect to me, thank you so much. ❤️
Emma, thank you for Sharing all of that science of baking!! It took you hours, probably days of studies, we can learn it just by watching your video. We're sooo lucky!!!!
It makes me so happy to know you liked this video! Thank you again so much Gemma ❤❤❤
So informative! Thank you so much Emma you’re very good at explaining things. Please make more of these videos
I made the butter cake and it turned out amazing!!! Super soft and light
Me personally, I really like using a chiffon sponge. It's yummy,light, fluffy and really versatile. Though I would make an exception for that yummy vanilla cake recipe of yours! Just made it last week for a get-together, everyone loved it! Good video Emma, keep it up!
Chiffon cake is great I agree!😍 So glad u like my vanilla cake as well! Thank you Kristina❤
I'm sooo glad I stumbled upon your video, Emma! I've always loved to bake and I'm at the stage where I'm looking for my perfect vanilla cake recipe that I can stick with for as long as I can bake and serve cakes for my customers. Thanks for this so much! It gave me a lightbulb moment.
no one:
me: *binge-watching emma's videos cuz shes the most wholesome person ever* 🥰
You are absolutely a great baker and even a great scientist. Really love your videos and I hope that you will reach 1 million subscribers very soon
As usual, Emma saved the day (mine! And possibly maaaany others 🙏🏾) thank you! 💖💖 from Malaysia 🇲🇾
U just answered all my confusions and queries about the two cakes in the most simplest manner that i couldn't find anywhere else. Your work is amazing👌💕💕💕
I loved this video. Thank you for teaching us about baking. I feel it encourages us to learn about what we’re doing and not simply follow a recipe.
What u say is so true "not simply follow a recipe". I'm so glad u appreciate this, thank you❤
I would love if you could do a video like this with cookies. Love you Emma! ❤️
I love that idea! I will note it! Love u back Andrew❤
Emma! Fantastic job! We really like it when you teach us how to bake scientifically so we understand what we are doing and so we can do a better job. You are awesome, thank you so much! ❤
Thank you so much Billy! It's so wonderful to know you liked this video! ❤❤❤

Emma, thank you so much! Please do a series. I’m interning a professional/specialty cake baker and it’d be nice to learn this information so I can practice at home! I love you so much for this! 😩
Suggestion: Cake vs all purpose vs bread flour and when are the best times to use these flours.
I'm thrilled to know you enjoyed this video! I will certainly do more videos like this one! ❤ Great suggestion!
Just found your channel. You are informative and to the point. Cant wait to make the sponge cake.

Thank you so much Emma!! I knew the difference between sponge and butter cakes but the rest I was struggling with. Lots of partial and conflicting info out there but you put it all together for me.
Thank you for the recipes, explanations, and notes. I've appreciated the lesson. I've just now found your channel, looking for this kind of help, not expecting so thorough, though.You've definitely earned a new subscriber!
Wendy thank you so much! I'm happy to know you liked this video and found it helpful!❤ Welcome to our baking fam❤
I think I'll be binge-ing on your videos today. It's snowing like crazy here & I can't work on decorating my ice cream cakes at the store, so I'm snuggled up with baking recipe videos, lol. I love the red velvet video, too! Thank you for helping me improve my art. 😚
Mam very nicely describe the difference between the foam and butter cake.

Wonderful Angie! Sponge cake is very popular here in Italy, It's like our staple dessert ahah. Enjoy my dearest!❤
ovr here in belgium we usualy sell the butter cakes as is or pour over some melted chocolade/ganash and with spongecakes are traditionaly used to make well decorated birthday/wedding/party cakes with either whipped cream or butter cream ass topping
I love how technical this video was!
I'm so happy you enjoyed Jeff😍
Mehn, you are awesome and your videos are so interesting and educating. By far my best baking channel. 😘😘

beauty and brains, what a "deadly" combination, watch OUT you guys in Italy!!
Thanks Emma! Class is in session!!

Thank u so much for this! Just subscribed to your channel. I do cakes and been doing them for about 14 yrs but never really went to school for it so this was great ! I normally do a sponge cake and simple syrup them. Im definitely gonna try this butter cake recipe
Hi Luis! Glad to have u here!❤ I'm happy you liked this video! 14 years baking? That's awesome! You should definitely give it a try :) It's very moist and flavorful 💕
Emma's Goodies thank u :) i will
Not a baker at all, I enjoyed this video so much to learn “science” behind compressed cake and cake with high air volume and how to make the spongy one more flavourful.
Finally! Waiting for this video the whole day! Love you Emma ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Love u hun! It's finally here!❤
I wanna do one of these cakes, but I can't decide. Both of them are looking fantastic, thanks for the recipes and great tips 😊😍
You're very welcome and thank u❤❤❤ I hope u will try both :)
Thank you dear Emma this is a lovely video. You have really spend a lot of time preparing this video it's well explained and beautiful demonstration. Well appreciated 💯😍😘❤🖒
Thank you Michelle! This took quite some time to put together, but I really wanted to make a special video for you guys❤ I'm so so glad you like it!❤
You are amazing! Thank you for making this video. Now I know why my tres leches cake with butter cake kept falling apart 😄
Emma! I can't stop telling uhh... You're the best baker❤😍
Thank you my dear!!❤❤❤
Finally a video that clears my confusion why my cake was so crumbled & not as fluffy. Thanks for this amazing video
Keep up the good work! That was amazing!
Are you having more similar videos in store for us? Because I really liked it how you made then compared between the two cakes!!
Thank you so much for sharing the knowledge.....you have no idea how much I learned about baking through your channel.....😘😘
Love this! Thanks for the masterclass! This is really my favorite baking channel. 😊
Hi Emma just wanna thank you for your vanilla cake recipe 😊 been searching for a really good go-to vanilla cake recipe and yours is the best! 🍰
Hi hun! It makes me happy you like my vanilla cake😍
Super !! Thank you so much for knowledge. I love the way you’ve presented your video. 👏👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so much my dear!❤
WOW! Emma, thank you. I had no idea the differences. Which would be better for stacking, fillings, fondants etc. this helped a lot.
For high stackings and fondants I recommend using a butter cake dear😘 So glad this was helpful!
Thank you Emma for the great science!😘Btw the sugar cookies recipe you posted several days ago was the absolute best.I will always use it and remember you for it.😇
Awesome! I love those cookies, so versatile and delish😍 I'm glad u liked those and this video❤
@@emmasgoodies a little question if i may.
I left the sugar cookies,in your previous video, in a plastic box outside yesterday after making them.
I left them plain and had used 3/4 cup icing sugar.Today when i had one strangely it did not taste the same and had lost the crunch. Should i have stored them in a box in the fridge? It's very hot in Seychelles.
I will try that next time. 😉
thank you.. I now understand the difference of foamy cake and the butter cake.. thank you so so much for the explanation ❤️
Wonderful information! I always wondered about this. In my country, Uruguay we use “biscochuelo” cake for everything which is like the sponge cake. Taste wonderful. Question, would you happen to have a copy of all the info you wrote in your notebook to share? It’s great info and I’d love to keep that in my folder! Thanks again for your time! - Maida
Just write it down lol
This is so helpful for my dad’s birthday cake. Thanks for making this. 💕
This was so helpful!! I'd love to see more of baking science :)
I'm so glad it was! I will surely do more❤
This video is so efficient and informative, i love baking but I never thought about these things you mentioned, thank you so muh😍😍💕
Hi Emma, thanks for taking your time to tape and share this video.
I need to make a 3-layer cake - could you share the recipe for one single layer? Thank you!!
I learn so much from you emma, thank you!
Hello emma hadisa there!
Wow you baking teacher!! This video is so amazing for sure this one's the video for which we all were waiting for. 😍😍
Your voice and your accent is so beautiful as are your cakes 😗😗
I wish you best of luck for your future because I can see a very bright future of yours. ❤❤
Hello Hadisa! This is so kind! I'm so happy you enjoyed it! That's what I was hoping for❤ I wish you all the best as well! And thank you again! Sending u all my love!❤
You are so talented and thanks for making this video on cakes
I love how you say tres leches, hugs from Mexico ☺️
Big hugs from Italy💕😘
Hi, Emma! I've only found your channel recently, but you quickly impressed me by creating a mug cake that actually tastes close to a cake you’d make in the oven! Your recipes are nice and simple, ingredient and direction wise, but so delicious too! I know it's been a long time since you uploaded it, but I was hoping you could give me the cups and non-metric measurements for your cinnamon roll cookies. I really want to make them, but I haven't found a consistent way to do the conversions and I don't want to mess it up. I was also hoping to make them for a bake sale that goes to charity, so it'd be for a good cause! Love your videos and wishing you the best!
Thank you for sharing with us Emma.. Your cake look so beautiful .. N I must try it..always support you.. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thanks alot for giving the forsting advice.I made sponge cake yesterday and used whipped cream.While the whipped cream didnt have a stable structure i was thinking i shuld have used butter cream.Thanks for showing the differnces in both the cake
This is a wealth of information.
Great video your recipes are easy to follow and your tips simply great!! I have tried most of your recipes and I must say I have achieved success most of the time😂 Thanks for sharing Keep up your good job 👏🏻
I'm so thrilled to hear this! I'm happy you like the recipes!❤ Thank you hun!
**chocolate cake has left the group chat** lol, i love all the professional tips u shared babe. i’m definitely more of a vanilla butter cake guy😍
Lmao!! Thank you so much babe! Can't go wrong with butter cakes😍
Nice video telling the difference between the two types of cake, clear and simple! Thank you for sharing
Very well explained as usual 👏🏻
Thank you Cynthia!❤
This is the most important video I've seen for baking. Thank you SOOOO MUCH ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I could tell how much experimenting this took. I’m proud
Thank you Stella!❤❤❤
A bonus video !! Tomorrow I will make chocolate chip cookies and will follow your tips and share a picture as well . Love you Emma
