Until yesterday, I had never heard of Italian Sponge Cake. I was noodling around the internet and typed in “the lightest cake ever.” Up came Italian sponge cake. It consists of three ingredients: eggs, sugar, and flour. If you want it to taste better, salt and vanilla are a good start. I looked at a few recipes and was drawn in deeper. I overlapped several recipes and integrated our own weights for ingredients to make a trial cake. The process was easy. The results were light and delicate. The simplicity is inspiring. Now it’s time to explore, repeat, and rebuild.
