Does anyone have a great sponge cake recipe? I need to make two layers in either 8 or 9" rounds. I have the CI Foolproof Sponge Cake in my files, and am wondering about that one. I want to use the cake layers for The Mexican Chocolate Icebox Cake, one of my favorite recipes. I usually use store-bought ladyfingers, but they suck, and I don't really feel like making my own at this point. http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/ ... ake-101955 |

Thanks so much, Alina - it sounds great! By the way, do you happen to have a good recipe for Natilla? I used to love the Natilla from Victor's Cuban Cafe in NYC! |

My mom made it for my dad all the time. I'll have to look in her cookbooks and recipes to find the one she made. I've not made it myself since I left home. I am more of a flan person. I'll look as soon as I finish with Flour. i borrowed my daughter's electronic copy so I only have it for 14 days. When I find it, I'll post it. BTW, panetela is my favorite cake. I like to eat it plain (not fond of super sweet stuff as a rule) or even slightly toasted pieces. Of course my favorite is the Borracha made with my mom's simple syrup and Bacardi rum. |
