Chef's Tips
you can use an ice cream / potato scoop to share out the cake batter.
you could pipe the mixture into the cases.
you could make chocolate ones by putting 1 tablespoon of cocoa powder but take out 1 tablespoon of flour out.
Great recipe - turned out really light and fluffy - I made half vanilla and half chocolate sponges all with vanilla icing
