It was my little bro's birthday, and although he hates desert's, everyone else in my family loves them so a cake was in order. I have just recently delved into the world of "The Sponge" and have so much respect for all the women who have whipped them up in the past without me having a serious appreciation of the science involved. This is my second only sponge, tasted very light but I have to say, not as good as my first attempt... what did I do differently, why didn't it rise as much, I have a feeling it's going to be a LOVE/HATE relationship, ever evolving!!!

Anyway, HAPPY BIRTHDAY MATE hope we didn't embarass you too much. 40 is the new 20, that's my motto!
