Electric Beating
Dear Aunt Daisy, You told us of a problem a’ listener shad. Her sponges were always dry whenever she used her electric mixer. I beat my eggs and sugar until they are thick (usually about 15 minutes). Just before placing in the oven I fold into the mixture 2 teaspoons butter dissolved in 2 tablespoons boiling water. This eliminates any tendency to dryness. Perhaps your listener adds too much flour, or else has her oven too hot; 350 degrees is the ideal heat for sponges in an electric oven, and allow 1 level teacup flour for every 3 eggs. I would never go back to beating by hand again.
