Very good recipe!! The cake is moist and looked great (i used 4 eggs) although a bit too sweet for my taste (maybe coz i didn't use the lemon juice - i used raspberry extract instead, so there's no sourness to balance the sugar). And i did separate the whites and the yolk like the other reviewer said and i greased the pan with butter. It worked wonders..

I found the length of time in the oven way too long. I could see the cake was dried out when I pulled it out. I think I'd try 30-35 minutes next time.

It was easy to make and I enjoyed the flavour. Mine was overdone at 55 minutes so next time I'll bake it for 45 minutes. It's terrific with vanilla ice cream and the Supreme Strawberry Sauce on this site.

I made a plain sponge using vanilla instead, tasted quite normal to me. Nice coloring though, was a bit dense, so adding another egg or beating it a little longer should help.

This is the first sponge cake I have cooked that has not been a packet mix. It was easy and turned out great, nice and light, moist and tasted fantastic. I sliced it in half and served it with cream and jam in the middle I will be cooking more of my own cakes in future, as it is not as difficult or time comsuming as I imagined. The only thing I did differently with this recipe was I beat the egg yolks and white separately and folded into mixture. Thankyou Carol for inspiring the home baker in me.

DO NOT MAKE THIS. If you are looking for a nice spongy cake, this is not it. I followed the recipe to a T and, trust me, it is not good. Very disappointed. I recommend buying a those boxed cake mixes for the best sponge cake.

I must have done something wrong with this one. It came out really dry and quite chewy. It still tasted quite good, but the texture was really disappointing.

This is a really easy recipe to do especially for beginner's like me!! This turned out wonderfully compared to others I have tried. I too also substituted lemon extract for vanilla, added fresh blueberries and chopped pecans. I also wanted to cut down the sugar to 3/4 cup and it still tasted great!! But it may not be sweet enough for others, but I thought the vanilla was enough for me. Served it with a spoonful of vanilla yogurt and strawberries, whole fam enjoyed it too. Thanks for sharing!!

Finally...a quick,easy and lovely Sponge Cake! Carol, Thank you so much for sharing this recipe. I have been looking for a good recipe that doesn't require the separation of eggs. Instinct told me this one would work, and it did beautifully. For a plain sponge, replace the lemon exract with vanilla.
