Ive always made sponges using other methods like creaming method etc etc......but this was so easy and every one has commented on how nice it is and much nicer than my usual sponges - the cheeky buggers lol I also added some cocoa which made it even yummier!!

Fantastic! Very very easy, quick and very tasty! Mine took longer than stated and burned around edges but I was using a shaped silicone mould which may have been why! Won't be using any other sponge recipe from now on! A+
