A genoise sponge is a light, fluffy, simple cake that works perfectly with fresh creams, fresh fruits and any juicy filling you can think of. It is simply made by using flour, sugar, eggs and a tiny bit of baking powder and the secret to its fluffiness lies in the whipping technique. You whip the eggs and sugar for long (about 10min!) until tripled in volume.
