Did not have a great outcome with this cake. It was definitely fluffy and beautiful but had a very eggy smell and taste. Followed the recipe to a tee so unsure what I could do to prevent this.

I'm an experienced baker and have made hundreds of cakes. I tried this instead of my usual sponge recipes for a kids birthday, as I was looking for something lighter and it was a total disaster. I followed the recipe exactly and initially they rose well, but they sunk in the oven after 15 minutes and sunk further on exit despite dropping them. I've been left with two cakes sunken entirely flat in the middle that taste like bizarre meringue. Total waste of ingredients.
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.
