Whisking / Whipping
method
• Sponges (contains no fat).
• These cakes are leavened primarily through the
incorporation of air cells by addition of whipped
eggs. Preparing eggs for this mixture is quite
important.
• This is done to dissolve the sugar and soften the
eggs allowing for quicker volumes.

– Whole egg, egg yolks and flavors also can
be added at this time.

if they were for a sponge using the
whipping methods.
– Then they are folded into the creamed
flour and fat mixture.
