  • I have divided the ingredients into two parts and bake them to get two sponges. You can make a single big sponge and can cut it in layers afterwards and decorate the cake. The baking time for baking a single sponge will be around 60-65 minutes or as per the oven type. I have divided the mixture into two parts and have baked two sponges.
