Deluxe Sponge Cake Mix
Firm, airy plain sponge cake, a go-to base for layer cakes and wedding cakes.
FUNCAKES Deluxe Sponge Cake Mix provides a neutral-tasting cake base with a light, soft texture that is firm enough to slice into several layers without crumbling. It's the go-to mix for layer cakes covered with fondant or buttercream, when consistency matters more than customising the flavour from the outset.

Preparation and key steps
- Preheat the oven to 170-175 °C and mix the product with eggs and water according to the package's dosage chart.
- Whip at maximum speed for 7 to 8 minutes, then for 2 minutes at low speed to stabilise the air bubbles: this step creates the airy texture.
- Bake immediately after whipping to avoid losing the incorporated air.
- Leave to cool completely (2 to 3 hours) before slicing into layers with a cake wire.
- Add flavour as desired: citrus zest, vanilla extract, pistachio paste, or cocoa powder to replace some of the mix.

Frequently asked questions
Your questions, our advice
What is the difference compared to FUNCAKES Chocolate Sponge Cake Mix?
This Deluxe mix has a neutral taste and can be freely customized (vanilla, lemon, coffee, pistachio), while the Chocolate Sponge Cake Mix delivers a pronounced cocoa flavour straight away, with no flavouring step required.
Why whisk for so long before baking?
The airy structure of the sponge cake depends entirely on the air incorporated during mixing: 7 to 8 minutes at maximum speed is the time calibrated by FUNCAKES for this mix; a shorter time results in a dense, flat sponge cake.
Can sponge cake layers be prepared in advance?
Yes, baked and cooled sponge layers can be frozen individually wrapped for up to 2 months; let them thaw in the refrigerator the day before assembling the layer cake.
