A Basic Sponge
Dear Aunt Daisy, I am enclosing a recipe for a "basic sponge," which is excellent, economical, and can be put to many uses. Use it for lamingtons, jam _ rolls, sultana_ cake, trifles, as the sponge part of Napoleon cake, iced; or as a coconut cake. Two cups flour, 1 cup milk, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 egg, 1 tablespoon vinegar, 3 tablespoons butter (scooped off the lb.), salt, 1 cup sugar, 2 heaped tablespoons coconut (if required), 1 cup sultanas Gf required). Into a basin put butter (slightly softened), sugar, vinegar, milk and egg. Beat well; add flour, salt, baking powder and fold in. Line a meat tin with one thickness of greased brown paper; about 14 inches off a lunch roll is just right. Spread the mixture evenly. Cook for 17 minutes at 400 degrees approximately. The sponge should be about 214 inches high and a large pan-full, for only one egg. Two jam-roll tins will fit on one shelf. Turn out on to damp cloth, trim edges. spread filling and roll.
