The Best Basic Sponge Cake Recipe (Thermomix)

Recipes Thermomix
Earlier this year I have been baking rather a lot of cakes and somehow the basic sponge cake recipe from the Thermomix Cookidoo portal never worked and always came out flat as a pancake until I searched up on the best sponge cake recipes and with lots of reading and a few little alterations I got this recipe from a German lady who use to bake cakes for living and she said this is her fault proof sponge cake recipe! So I thought I share it for you to try because its just too good!
Ingredience List:
6 Eggs
6 tablespoons of still Water (I use cold but I have been told lukewarm works too)
200 g Sugar (I use 10-20g less when I make a rich topping & filling)
10 g Vanilla Sugar
100 g plain Flour
100 g Cornflour
17 g Backing Powder
Heat up the Oven on 160 degrees and butter the bottom of a 22″ or 24″ round spring form tin and set aside.
TIP: Do NOT butter the boarder of the form because the dough can ‘climb’ better without it.
I always put a tea spoon full of flour on top of the butter shake it and turn the tin around for the excess four to be emptied out.
Insert the whisk on top of the Thermomix blade. (Remember with the whisk inserted do not exceed Level 6).
Add the 6 Eggs and 6 tablespoons of still Water and whisk 2 Minutes /37 C / Level 4.
Then add the Sugar (200 g) and Vanilla Sugar (10 g) and whisk for another 10 Minutes / Level 4.
Put a plastic bowl on top of the Thermomix and weigh the Flour, Cornflour and Baking Powder in and mix it together before you add it to the right and left of the whisk before you fold it in for 8 seconds / Level 4.
Put the mixture into the spring form and bake it on 160 degrees for 40-45 minutes on Top & Bottom Heat.
Open the spring form ring and transfer the sponge cake on a cake dish and leave it to cool before slicing it to add the filling and decorate!
I always make the sponge in the morning let it cool and rest for a day and then add the filling and topping in the evening and keep cool in the fridge to set for the next day.
Here are some of my 2 recent cakes I made with the basic sponge cake recipe.
For Molly-May’s birthday I made a chocolate sponge filled with Straciatella Cream & decorated inside  and on top with fresh raspberries and for my own birthday I made a ‘Schaumkuss’ Torte which is rather sweet but oh so delicious.
A Schaumkuss is a German sweet which is a large chocolate cone with a light waffle on the bottom and a foam sugar/marshmallow inside.
 
Happy Baking!

    This looks fab, well done you! I usually struggle to get cakes to work in the Thermo and have turned back to using my Kenwood. I can never get them to aerate well enough and so they don’t rise. ☹️

      Thank you I think It’s all about tweaking recipes sometimes I was so surprised when this one worked first time and 6 times since! I had 3 failed attempts with the Cookidoo recipes and I was close to giving up! Have a try you will defiantly be surprised!! X
