Just let you know that I have made the sponge cake mix successfully after one of the aunty taught me how.

So ,the mistake I had made :
1. The mixer speed is not fast enough and the beating time is not long enough due to the mixer power(philip, not Kitchen aid) !


2. The previous temperature I used is lower first but the sifu taught me to use upper and lower heat together.

Thanks for your sponge mix information after seeing me making the failure one. That's very kind of your to publish to post I need !
