Perfect Sponge Cake
Hubby’s birthday was the other day and I baked him a cake. From scratch, of course. I really prefer wholewheat flour and there’s no way to have a cake like that without baking it myself. I think wholewheat tastes better, feels better, and of course is actually food instead of truly empty calories. But this is really a sentimental cake as my mother used to bake it and taught me how. I even used her old tube pan. It’s super light and fluffy and has a hint of orange. Wish you could have a slice! Happy birthday, hubby!

I agree with you about whole wheat flour tasting better!! I think that cake is so appealing – don’t suppose you are making deliveries…
Mmm! That cake looks good. You know what I’m going to ask next, right? Recipe, please! 😀
Happy Birthday to your hubby. 🙂
Oh Sara! Why must you live in Seattle ? =)
Hi Sara,
This looks delicious.
Send a piece my way!
Happy Summer,

Wow, that looks delicious. And the hint of orange sounds great – I absolutely love sweets with a taste of orange or lemon in them. Thanks so much for linking up to Creative Weekends!
Hi Sara,
I truly wish I could’ve been there to celebrate Hubby’s birthday (sending HB wishes…) with you and to enjoy that mouthwatering description of the cake you made! Not only are you a great photographer but a great cook, too, but baking is in your genes and your mom made such wonderful cakes! You may recall, my hubby made me one of your Mom’s recipe cakes this year for my birthday, she called “What Cake?” which is laden, heavy on top with giant, whole, fresh, succulent red strawberries!
