Definitions
A light, soft, baked dessert (commonly layered with cream and jam) that is typically made with flour, sugar, baking powder and eggs, and has a firm, yet well aerated structure, similar to that of a sea sponge.
Example: I made a sponge cake the other day. It was a disaster: I forgot the baking powder! It didn't rise!
