Sponge Fruit Cake, Fruit Cake Tutorial, How to make sponge cake

[@Wildberry_Cottage]

I made this last weekend and it turned out so good. I made whipping cream, added it, refrigerated overnight and next day ate it. Oh my, it was beyond delicious and moist. Thank you for the recipe.

[@kimctt]

Hi! If you don't mind me asking, did you defrost the cake before consuming or ate it right after you took it out of the fridge?

[@lilochristina]

I've been using your recipe and love it! Just bake a cake yesterday for my son's birthday too.

[@ZoeyandVFam]

Sounds awesome, thanks for giving my recipe a try. ❤️

[@irenevillani8241]

[@windowlicker_4207]

This is the most underrated cake in the world. I had no idea what cake even was until I made this masterpiece. Thank you! Everyone thought it was amazing and I gave you all the credit. Thank you so very much for saving my butt. I forgot to order a cake so I had to make one. It went very well. 10/10 would recommend. It's not as easy as it looks but it's well worth doing right.

[@ZoeyandVFam]

You’re welcome, so glad everyone liked your cake.

Yay I’m glad to hear, sorry for late response.

[@xxphanaxx]

Amazing!

[@ZoeyandVFam]

Thank you!

[@maggiecalderon490]

It's great video!! I have trouble with whipped cream frosting, and I saw one of the ingredients for the whip cream was vanilla pudding.. I will keep that in mind next time ❤❤ thanks a million!

[@ZoeyandVFam]

Your welcome. Yes the vanilla pudding helps stabilize the whip cream.

[@yingherr4970]

Zoey you make cake it's delicious I like the way you teach thank you for your recipe and all your recipe it's good please share recipe every time when you have new recipe come out

[@ZoeyandVFam]

Your so welcome, I hope my tutorials are helpful.

[@leo4621]

Thanks for the recipe! I was wondering if it's alright for me to substitute the vegetable oil for butter?

[@ZoeyandVFam]

Vegetable oil is preferred for this recipe.

[@HaibTshajHaib]

Pretty cake.

[@ZoeyandVFam]

Thank you.

[@Millenialmomwith3]

I flipped my cake upside down after taking it out the over and it cooled down very mis shaped. Maybe I’m not mixing the meringue enough with the mixture?

[@geyang3888]

Wow you are super talented!! Cakes look amazing! I’m going to try this recipe!😋 New subscriber!😘

[@ZoeyandVFam]

Thank you!

[@ema4778]

Can I make this cake with the fresh fruit and cream filling with a buttercream frosting over the top.?

[@ZoeyandVFam]

Yes you absolutely can.

[@seevang8395]

❤❤❤

[@ZoeyandVFam]

Thank you

[@suzanx]

How much heavy whipping cream did you use for the cake? I always struggle with how much and end up with too little. Did you use two quarts? Also, can i make the assembled cake the night before and keep it in the fridge? Or do you recommend just baking the cake, keeping in the fridge and then assemble the day off?

[@ZoeyandVFam]

WHIPPED CREAM FROSTING (double the ingredients below for 8” cake) 2 cups cold heavy whipping cream 1 cup confectioners sugar 1 Tbsp dry vanilla pudding mix

[@ZoeyandVFam]

You can do either or. I prefer baking my sponge cake night or day prior then decorating next day that way the cake has time to rest prior to decorating. Yes you can assemble night before.

[@suzanx]

@@ZoeyandVFam Thank you so much! Another gal made her frosting with 1 cup whipping cream to 1 tbsp pudding mix and when I do that, my frosting sets up really fast and leaves lots of air pockets so it's not smooth. I see you use 2 cups to 1 tbsp which was what I was thinking I could do so I'm so glad to see your recipe calls for this! I can't wait to make this again.

[@carmenlam5740]

Do you tap the cake on the counter when it comes out of the oven?

[@ZoeyandVFam]

I don’t. I do before baking to remove air bubbles.

[@dejaphaly5325]

Hi Zoey, I’m making a cake for my friend. Is your whip cream frosting able to use food coloring ? :))

[@ZoeyandVFam]

Yes you can!

[@andromedaletourneau5808]

I only have 6x3 cake pans. Will this work in those? How long would I bake for?

[@ZoeyandVFam]

Is this a bread loaf pan? If so and you’re adding a lot of batter you’ll need to bake it longer. I’m not sure on exact timing, sorry.

[@andromedaletourneau5808]

They're 6x3 round cake pans

[@lanaolsen5]

My cake rose wonderfully in the oven. But when I took it out, within 2 minutes, it shrunk a lot. What did I do wrong?

[@meeyang17]

Thanks for sharing your talent. I love how easy and tasty this is i made it for my family event this past weekend, and it was not enough 😅. My question is, is I want to make a 10inch round cake. What would the recipe look like and cook for how long? And also is there a formula on going up or down on ingredients if I wanted to make a 4in or adventure out on making a half sheet? Ty 😊

[@ZoeyandVFam]

Hi, sorry for the late response. You can double the recipe for 10 inch or triple for half sheet. For the 4” cake I say use this same recipe and make some extra cupcakes with the extra batter. For the 10” it depends on how much batter your adding to the pan. Doubling the amount will still be a lot of batter for two 10” pan. Cooking time varies on this. Approximately 25-30 minutes. Hopes this helps. Thanks for giving this recipe a try. I’m glad to hear you and your family enjoyed it.

[@meeyang17]

@@ZoeyandVFam It's okay! Thanks for the reply. This was the first cake I ever made. I really appreciate your content!

[@Staceyyangthebest]

How long will this cake last? I’m trying to figure out how early I can bake.

[@ZoeyandVFam]

I usually bake my cake the night prior and assemble the next day to allow the cake to rest. Once assemble I prefer to consume it within 3 days.

[@payongm]

Hi zoey! Do you have the recipe measurements if I want to make this cake to a half sheet?

[@ZoeyandVFam]

You can double the measurements.

[@derthao6822]

what did you add or use to make your whip firm?

[@ZoeyandVFam]

Vanilla pudding mix.

[@Itsmarynotmurray]

Can I just add pandan flavoring to make it the pandan sponge cake?

[@ZoeyandVFam]

Yes you can replace it with the vanilla extract. 2 tsp.

[@OlenaBespalova-c8t]

Can I bake this batter in rectangular glass Pyrex?.

[@ZoeyandVFam]

You possibly can but you’ll have to lower the heat down.

[@40O6]

hii question!! does it taste too sweet? my asian mothers birthday is in five days and she doesnt plan on buying a birthday cake nor does she plan on having any celebration but i want to make her a cake, she definitely doesnt like too sweet cakes so i was just wondering!!

[@ZoeyandVFam]

Hi, sorry for late response. This recipe is not too sweet. Hopefully it turned out for you if you did make it.

[@carolynmoua8974]

Where did you purchase the cake pans?

[@ZoeyandVFam]

I purchased them from Michael’s.

[@taslimafaruk3044]

Is it okay if I don't use the vanilla pudding powder?

[@ZoeyandVFam]

The vanilla pudding helps stabilize the frosting, you can do without if you prefer.

[@joeychen9430]

Hello! Do you have the recipe in grams? I’m from the uk!

[@ZoeyandVFam]

Hi, sorry I don’t. When I bake again I’ll try to remember to measure and update the discription box.

[@tinapetrie9813]

Ughhh my cake sunk in!

[@ZoeyandVFam]

Oh no!

[@Staceyyangthebest]

can you use all purpose flour??

[@ZoeyandVFam]

Cake flour is preferred. You can make cake flour yourself. To do so, measure out 1 cup of all-purpose flour into a bowl. Then, scoop out 2 Tablespoons of the flour and replace with 2 Tablespoons of cornstarch.

[@noinana95]

Could this be made into a cake roll?

[@ZoeyandVFam]

Yes it can!

[@anastaiahernandez2054]

Which cake flour do you mean? Like the plain cake flour? Or the ones that are prepared for you like chocolate, vanilla, strawberry? I don’t know if I’m making sense 😅

[@ZoeyandVFam]

Hi, plain cake flour not the premixed ready to mix ones.

[@hearttoheart1184]

Hi.. how can i keep my fruits fresh on cake? Will it change the color in a days? How can i avoid that?

[@ZoeyandVFam]

Hi, you can brush the fruits with canned fruit juice but that usually helps it for 1-2 days. For longer duration you can make a fruit glaze to preserve the moisture and colors of the fruits. Hope this helps.

[@Mayxiong85]

For this cake did you use the pastry whip?

[@ZoeyandVFam]

Hi, I did not. I double the whip cream recipe to make enough for this 8” cake. You can use pastry whip if you like, it’s my go to as well.

[@Mayxiong85]

@@ZoeyandVFam oh wow, how did you get your cream to look so stable? What heavy cream brand do you suggest? I usually buy the brand from Walmart. Your so talented. You should do a video on how you cut the fruits

[@maleechang1586]

What if we were to use two 6 in pan instead, what would be the measurements?

[@ZoeyandVFam]

Hi, this recipe will make three deep 6” pan if your not doing two 8”.

[@lindaxiong4386]

My batter is always full of air bubbles and my cake is always wet on top after baking. I try not to over-mix my batter but there’s the sugar batter streaks. Any advice?

[@ZoeyandVFam]

Do you add the meringue all at once or divide into 2-3? To avoid the batter streak try diving into four. Bang your tray w/batter in it on the counter two times to remove air bubbles before baking. Hope this helps.

[@suzanx]

I made this batter and it works fine for me. Make sure your egg white is beat well and stiff. You might not have pounded the cake pan on the counter enough to remove air bubbles before baking, so drop it a few times. You’ll see holes at the top where air escapes. Maybe check your oven as well and make sure you’re baking in the middle rack. Maybe your oven isn’t getting hot enough. I’m horrible at baking but this was easy for me.

[@ahsislifexx6032]

What if you are using two 9 inch pans what are the measurements for the ingredients 😊

[@ZoeyandVFam]

Hi, it would be the same unless your wanting a taller cake size.

[@PatientisKeytoSuccess]

Is it normal when I slice the cake and when I eat it, the top fall apart? I hope I make sense 😅

[@ZoeyandVFam]

Sorry for late response, if that happens let the cake rest in the refrigerator for a few hours prior to cutting.

[@LetthemDarya]

Why my whipping cream dosent smooth out the cake? 😢

[@ZoeyandVFam]

It could be that you over whipped your cream if it is not smooth.

[@pinkhairblackman8141]

dang so much time to make a cake, how do bakeries even make money!?!

[@ZoeyandVFam]

It’s a lot of work but does make good $$ if you sell.

[@TheYungn9ne]

Hello! I tried your recipe twice & both times, my cake shrank… do you know why?

[@ZoeyandVFam]

Hi, the cake will shrink slightly but should not deflate so much. If it did it could be due to over-mixing the batter, over-mixing the meringue, temperature to high, or opening the oven door while baking.

[@meevang201]

Hi sis, What's the recipe for the cake?

[@ZoeyandVFam]

Hi, it’s in the description box.

[@zzzzzzz1751]

Could you please share how is your heavy cream so white. The ones I use have slight yellowish colour

[@ZoeyandVFam]

You can add a very tiny drop of violet food coloring, it helps.

[@zzzzzzz1751]

@@ZoeyandVFam does that make the yellow cream to white? Do you use non diary cream? Thank you for replying

[@dipika2109]

Hi, why the cake has been sunken ? I did as you shown in this video but the cake has been sunken and it is so disappointing 😢

[@faevynn2889]

Did you whip to stiff peaks? Did u fold it too much? I find that this really makes or breaks the cake sometimes.

[@ZoeyandVFam]

Hi, several factors can cause this. I’m sorry yours didn’t turn out. Make sure to not over mix, you need a stiff peak for your meringue, and ensure to not open the oven when baking.

[@OlenaBespalova-c8t]

I made it but it deflated after it came out of oven . Plus it smelled very eggy.

[@ZoeyandVFam]

It should not smell eggy, was it not cooked throughly?
