Best Ever Vanilla Sponge Cake Recipe - New & Improved! | Cupcake Jemma

[@jsmit9161]

I like baking, but when I'm highly stressed I like to watch jemma bake. The best invention would be if you could press a button and a piece of cake comes out your phone😊

Heu jsmith I have been asking for that for sooo long now but just like cell phone d camera phone with tasting smelling and telliporting stuff will be just now soon just be happy we can still use our phones and see/hear her and make d recipes to ❤❤

Hi Jemma how did you get that name for yr business Crumbs and Dollies I am just curious thank you. All the way from Trinidad we love you J

[@ljclaridge1701]

No. No it wouldn't! 😭😭😭 I have no will power! 😂

[@TeenieBee72]

Going to have to try this. I am a baker, but usually just use the traditional vanilla sponge recipe. It looks so soft and light.

[@paulineatieno3346]

This channel literally made me the Baker I am today❤❤. Keep it up Jemma and Team!❤

[@shirleylewis3490]

Me too. Jemma taught me so much. Thank you! ❤❤

[@charcharreid]

Same.

[@rushya6483]

Me too! Jemma inspired me to bake and now I love baking!

[@deborahwood4728]

That texture did look incredible. And yes with butter and oil you get great taste and a great posit crumb thanks Gemma.

[@macaoron]

Lately I have been leaning more and more towards oil-based cakes for layer cakes for the same reasons you've mentioned! They also don't seem to dome as much as the old recipe, which I love because that means less wasted cake when leveling the layers!

[@manitamuna2809]

I just made 2, 6 inch layers for my mom's birthday today 🎉. It came out fantastic 😍. And of course frosted it with your ermine frosting which turned out great too. Mom ate half of the cake in one go ❤. It was sooooo delicious 😋 and hands down the best vanilla cake+frosting combo I've ever made!

[@auntiedough2488]

I just learned the reverse creaming method. It is amazing because it can’t be over mixed.

[@NatLeckie]

Oh my I love how you popped a link to download the written recipe right next to the video and for such a reasonable price. I instantly bought the printable version. Thank you! Am so excited to try and make this! ❤

[@tracynewman6097]

Thank you so much jemma,been having a real problem lately with my vanilla sponges so thought ide give yours a go as been looking for a vanilla sponge recipe with oil & buttermilk,these came out beautiful even though I was busy doing things in between watching your video & added flour before the eggs😢 they came out perfect ,so pleased your a genius ❤ 3:06

[@filipereis2777]

Thank you so much for sharing Jemma ! I cant wait to visit your bakeryy!!!

[@kellybauer2144]

Love the update. Always keeping it fresh, Jemma! Hey non C users... F is super easy to figure out. 170 times 1.8 equals 306 plus 32 equals 338 degrees F. If you're using a non fan you have to do the conversion using 185 c or 190 c. You can't just add the 15 degrees to it. Either way it's a 340° or 365° oven ♥️😊

[@evageorgia993]

Hi Jemma, I tried your recipe and it’s the best cake I’ve ever made. 🙏🙏❤️

[@gillycaswell236]

WOW!!!!! I was salivating watching you reveal the cake! That looks unbelievable and I am definitely going to try this and it does look very........... M word *shudder* !!

[@dave311281]

I just watched the Victoria Sponge video from 10 years ago, amazing how much the recipe and you have changed. like you can use "that weird spray grease stuff", its all you use now lol. Then divide the batter, you can weight it out if you like "but am not into all that" 🤣. Not tried this one yet but will be in the next few days, already know its going to be amazing. All you Recipes are......

[@hannasufiyan]

Without viewing can trust their recipes ♥️♥️♥️♥️

[@swarley_182]

I love all Jemma’s recipes, the crumbs and doilies book is literally my baking bible however I’ve never been completely happy with vanilla sponge recipe, so I came on KZbin today to see if I could tweak it somehow. This video was top of my suggestions, so obviously it was meant to be! I will be making this in the next few days and I can’t wait to see what it turns out like ❤

[@janicedias_sowgrowanddiy]

Can you help me with understanding something please! If I'm using all purpose flour and not self raising flour does this recipe not require a baking powder/soda...?? I hope i don't sound stupid 😅

[@swarley_182]

Self raising flour contains baking powder but I’m not sure how much you’d need

[@janicedias_sowgrowanddiy]

@@swarley_182 exactly... I don't get self raising flour easily.. I'd like to know the amounts of rising agents

[@lilorneshare3809]

Ha! From South Africa here. Found your 'other best' vanilla sponge cake of some years ago, just two weeks ago. It was so beautiful. Now ill do this one!😊

[@SincerelyYoursWill]

Gotta admit when I saw the cake crumb n texture, I was like WOAH It looks like you said delicious and yummy! And when I saw your list of ingredients, it confirmed that this cake would be a fluffy tender moist soft cake, which is EVERYTHING! Only adjustment on my end is substituting the buttermilk using the lemon juice to half & half cream trick. Thanks for sharing this recipe and the video tutorial too! Again I've bookmarked this cuz this looks so PERFECT and can't wait to give it a try!

[@annarjemandfar1410]

This looks delicious! Will this sponge be ok to cover with sugar paste please? 😊

[@deborahwood4728]

That cake is iced so perfectly Eben. That sponge looks incredible

[@asterl4613]

I didn't think there will be a better vanilla recipe than the one from your cookbook. Tried it anyway oh my~ totally blown away. my boy ate so much in one go, kept raving the best vanilla cake ever!

[@Ginjerbred]

[@anasdolce7277]

Hi, i have a few questions: 1. Can i Substitute the ordinary butter with lactose-free? 2. If i am using 2 6x8 pan can i still follow the amount of the recipe? 3. For the buttercream can I substitute the butter as well with lactose-free one? Thank you so much in advance ❤

[@suzanas.2256]

Hi Jemma. This looks amazing. And I absolutely love you and your recipes. Have been baking your vanille cupcakes for years now. Just curious to know . Why did you trim the sides when they looked so yummie to eat?

[@Rik77]

I’m sure Jemma can answer, but my guess is purely for aesthetics. Look at the final slice, you’ll see there’s no thin brown line between the cake and the icing. I probably wouldn’t bother doing this at home, but at the shop they might want every detail to look pretty.

[@mariaanastasio5325]

Thanks Jemma, trying it now, can’t wait to taste it. How would you tackle the heat with buttercream? Is there something to use to make it more stable?

[@BiancaGennaro-Crow]

Thank you Jemma, can’t wait to try this! Can you replace the buttermilk with natural yoghurt? Thanks!

[@JANNICULOUS]

That looks great. Do you let the cakes cool in the tin or do you take them out when they are still warm?

[@mikesr3011]

Hi Jemma! I typically do not keep self-raising flour on hand. I do however have AP flour and cake flour all the time. Can I use either of these and get the same results? Would I need to add baking soda (bicarb) or baking powder to the flour, if so what ratio for the 8-inch layers. Thanks so much. Love your videos.

[@itsjustme1211]

Do you ever cut the bottom off each layer as well as the top and sides?❤

[@femidaahmed4899]

Hi Jemma, thank you so much for sharing this recipe. If I wanted to make 2 layers of the 8 inch, would I just half all of the ingredients? Many thanks

[@MyScragy]

So excited to try this out!! What measurements would you use for 10inch cakes

[@sharonrandall5276]

Obviously this isn't a confirmed method but I find if you divide the ingredients by the amount of eggs. So for example this has 9 eggs and 600g flour, divide 600 by 9 to give you the weight you need for each egg. For a 10" cake , you would probably need 11-12 eggs. I'm not sure if I've made that sound too confusing

[@NaomiShields-n2i]

My daughter doesn't like jam, what could i use instead? Looks amazing!

[@KatieODonnell-l2n]

Do you think , if I halved the recipe it will work ? I have halved recipes before . I made this cake in full last week .. it was amazing . Don’t need a full mix this time ? Xx

I made this recipe the other day and it was SO yummy and moist. I wrapped my layers and put them in the freezer to decorate the next day, which is the norm for me. By the time I frosted and cut the cake it was dry! Any ideas as to why that may have been?

Hi Can we use this recipe to make cupcakes too? Without them shrinking from the wrappers. And staying nice and fluffy.

[@nicolabarnes1787]

Thank you for sharing Jemma. Can I use batter for cupcakes?

[@CupcakeJemma]

Actually i wouldn’t recommend this method for cupcakes. An all in one method is best for cupcakes as this method creates more air which works great for something big like a layer cake but in a cupcake can cause it to overflow and also dry out quicker.
