May want to specify in the recipe how exactly you 'drop' the sponge as some people could be attempting a sponge cake for the first time and may not know the term :). Amazing recipe otherwise!

For me, this recipe worked a treat.Easy to follow instructions which I weighed and measured exactly as well as did an extra step as mentioned in a previous review, where I did the drop step before baking and after baking, turned out perfectly.Yum, will make again for sure. A bit of a tribute to my grandmother who was fantastic at making sponge cakes for our birthdays, growing up.

I'm confused about the 1 tablespoon of flour in a cup and the rest of the cup cornflour, is this any sized cup? It's not very clear. Or is it over all one cup of cornflour with a tablespoon of flour?CHELSEA: a standard NZ 250ml cup.

I haven't made it yet but I'm wondering is it 180 fan forced or normal? Also, how do you fold the flour in enough so there's no lumps but so cake isn't tough? Thanks.Chelsea Sugar:180 degrees Celsius for conventional baking settings. Fold the mixture slowly until no lumps are visible in the mixture. Then stop folding.
Preheat oven to 180°C bake. Grease 2 x 20cm round sponge tins and line with baking paper.
Beat 4 egg whites with the boiling water until stiff. Add Chelsea White Sugar slowly. Beat until dissolved. Mix in yolks one at a time.
Place Edmonds Standard Grade Flour in a 250ml cup, then fill the rest of the cup with Edmonds Cornflour. Sift into the sugar and egg mixture with Edmonds Baking Powder. Fold in.
Divide mixture between the two sponge tins and bake for 20-25 minutes, until pale golden and cooked through.
Once cooked, and while still in the tin, drop sponges from a height of 30cm onto the bench. The sponges should then hold their height, and not go flat once cool.
When cool sandwich together with cream and jam or lemon curd. Decorate with strawberries, if desired, then dust with Chelsea Icing Sugar.
