I'm thinking about making my first sponge cake. That's what twinkies are made of right lol? The recipe here is cake boss sponge cake but I think it's actually a pound cake called sponge. All recipes has nothing with over 100 reviews. I'm so confused.
Ebony sponge cake is made with alot of eggs and it is the main leavener in the cake. You whip the whites and fold into a batter. Twinkies are a kind of sponge cake but it is a commercial product and they have conditioners and stabilzers added so making it from scratch wont give you the same results. You may do better using a roulade type cake. It is more like the texture of twinkies than a real sponge. Sponge cake is kinda dry and full of holes like a sponge and made to soak up flavored syrups. It is never used alone.... what do you want to make with it?
