Kitchen utensils

1 Kitchen scale, 1 Small bowl, 1 large Mixing bowl, 1 Tablespoon, 1 Hand mixer, 1 Whisk, 1 Fine-mesh sieve, 2 rimmed Baking sheets (or 1 springform pan, 24 cm diameter), 1 Parchment paper, 1 Dough scraper, 1 Offset spatula, 1 Teaspoon, 1 Brush (optional), 1 sharp Knife (optional), 1 Wire rack (optional)

Preparation steps

Sponge Cake with Spelt Flour preparation step 1

Separate the eggs. Set yolks aside in a small bowl, Combine egg whites with the salt and 1 tablespoon of cold water in a large mixing bowl.

Sponge Cake with Spelt Flour preparation step 2

Beat egg whites with a hand mixer until stiff. Gradually sprinkle in 125 grams (approximately 1/2 cup) sugar while beating, then continue to beat until the the whites are stiff and glossy.

Add egg yolks to whites and whisk briefly to combine. (Be careful not to overmix, otherwise the whites will deflate.)

Sift both kinds of flour over the egg mixture and gently but thoroughly fold in with a whisk,, just until evenly distributed.

Line a rimmed baking sheet or bottom of a 24 cm (approximately 10-inch) diameter springform pan with parchment paper. (Do not grease side of springform pan or the cake will collapse while baking.)

Spread batter evenly in lined sheet or pan. Bake on second rack from bottom of preheated oven at 200°C (fan 180°C, gas: mark 3) (approximately 400°F) for 12-15 minutes if using a baking sheet, or at 180°C (fan 160°C, gas: mark 2) (approximately 350°F) for 25-30 minutes in springform pan.

Sponge Cake with Spelt Flour preparation step 7

Cake is done when it is no longer sticky when tapped in the middle. When baking on the sheet, sprinkle another baking sheet with remaining sugar and invert jelly roll onto sheet. Rub parchment with a little water to loosen, then peel off cake.

When baking in the springform pan, run a sharp knife around edge to loosen, then remove side of pan. Let cake cool briefly, then turn out onto a wire rack. Gently peel off parchment paper and let cake cool completely. Split into 2-3 layers and fill as desired.
