An easy and effective way to make the perfect genoise sponge cake. Saved! Preheat the oven to 350, line 2 6-inch baking pans (or 1 9-inch) with parchment paper on the bottom only. Don’t grease the sides. Set aside. Melt the butter in a sauce pan or microwave, set aside to cool slightly.
From Wiki: A Génoise Cake is an Italian cake named after Genoa that does not use any chemical leavening and instead uses air suspended in the batter during mixing to give volume to the cake. It is called a Genoise sponge cake to differentiate itself from other sponge cakes that beat their yolks and whites of the eggs separately.
Recipe Preparation Place racks in upper and lower thirds of oven; preheat to 400°. Thoroughly wash and dry mixer bowl and whisk, then beat egg whites and salt on medium-high until frothy. If making chocolate genoise, sift flour and cocoa powder over egg yolk mixture (or just flour if making vanilla).
Classic genoise can be flavorless and dry. Not this one: It’s moist, eggy, slightly sweet, and tempting to eat plain. Use this genoise recipe to make Black Forest Layer Cake with Cherry Preserves, Tiramisù Layer Cake with Mascarpone Mousse, or Vanilla Layer Cake with Mango Curd.
