Recipe Review

We love this cake and make it over and over. It is easier than a classic chiffon, about as easy as an American butter cake. It is equally popular with kids and adults. Our favorite ice cream pairing with this is H. Daz Strawberry, but chocolate comes in a close second.

With no butter or cream, the flavor of this cake depends on a good-quality, full-flavored cocoa.

We bake this as individual ice cream sandwiches in a pan with 1-cup cavities. The right amount of batter per cavity is 60-62 grams, any more and the sandwich will be too tall to eat. For cakes of this size, 75% of the recipe on p.137 will make 12. They bake for 20 minutes, and we lower the oven temp 25F because our pan has a dark lining.

Like most sponge-type cakes, the top crust on this cake is sticky (top crust when in the cake pan). If you're making little sandwiches to eat with your hands, you can trim the crust if you don't want the sticky texture.

For filling these, it is easiest to slice (torte) them while still room temp, then put them in the freezer before filling with ice cream.
