French Style Sponge Cupcake (法试海绵小蛋糕)

I was quite curious about this cake - French style so I decided to give it a try since I still have some dessicated coconut to clear.

Cake is quite soft and not too sinful to indulge in ...

  8. If I remember correctly from Alex Goh's books, French style sponge cake means egg whites and egg yolks beat separately (like chiffon cake method), while traditional sponge cake is whole egg beat together. :)

    Your sponge is very soft!!
