Deluxe Sponge Cake Mix
Firm, airy plain sponge cake, the go-to base for layer cakes and wedding cakes.
FUNCAKES Deluxe Sponge Cake Mix provides a neutral-flavored cake base with a light, moist texture that is firm enough to cut into several layers without crumbling. It is the go-to preparation for layer cakes covered with fondant or buttercream, when consistency takes priority over immediate flavor customization.

Preparation and key steps
- Preheat the oven to 170-175 °C and mix the powder with eggs and water according to the quantity chart on the packaging.
- Whisk at maximum speed for 7 to 8 minutes, then for 2 minutes at low speed to stabilize the air bubbles: this is the step that creates the airy texture.
- Place in the oven immediately after whisking to avoid losing the incorporated air.
- Allow to cool completely (2 to 3 hours) before cutting into layers with a sponge cake leveler.
- Flavor as desired: citrus zest, vanilla extract, pistachio paste, or cocoa powder replacing part of the mix.
Please note: The firm texture of this sponge cake supports the weight of thick fondant or several layers of buttercream, unlike a more fragile traditional sponge cake.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference from FUNCAKES Chocolate Sponge Cake Mix?
This Deluxe mix has a neutral flavor and can be customized freely (vanilla, lemon, coffee, pistachio), while the Chocolate Sponge Cake Mix provides a distinct cocoa flavor directly, without an additional flavoring step.
Why whisk for so long before baking?
The airy structure of the sponge cake depends entirely on the air incorporated while whisking: 7 to 8 minutes at maximum speed is the time calibrated by FUNCAKES for this mix; a shorter time produces a dense, flat sponge cake.
Can the sponge cake layers be prepared in advance?
Yes, baked and cooled layers can be individually wrapped and frozen for up to 2 months; let them thaw in the refrigerator the day before assembling the layer cake.
