Delicious served warm for brunch or a coffee break. No butter inside the cake, but after the cake is baked, butter is poured on top and then icing sugar is sprinkled on top of cake with cinnamon. It took me only 30 minutes for this cake to bake so make sure you check after 30 minutes with toothpick.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start baking, make sure you have all your ingredients and tools ready. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling during the process.
  • Properly Measure Ingredients: Use measuring cups and spoons that are specifically designed for cooking. Level off dry ingredients with a knife or straight edge to ensure accuracy.
  • Use Room Temperature Ingredients: Whenever possible, use room temperature ingredients. This will help them blend together more easily and create a smoother batter or dough.
  • Don't Overmix: Overmixing can lead to a tough, dense cake. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Preheat Your Oven: Always preheat your oven to the desired temperature before baking. This will help ensure that your cake or baked goods cook evenly.
  • Use a Baking Pan That's the Right Size: Make sure you use a baking pan that's the right size for your recipe. If the pan is too small, the cake will overflow. If it's too large, the cake will be too thin.
  • Check for Doneness: Insert a toothpick or cake tester into the center of the cake. If it comes out clean, the cake is done. If there's still batter or crumbs attached, the cake needs to bake longer.

Conclusion:

With careful preparation, attention to detail, and a bit of practice, you can master the art of baking 9-inch square sponge cakes. Experiment with different recipes, flavors, and techniques to create delicious and visually appealing cakes that will impress your family and friends. Remember to have fun and enjoy the process of baking!
