Simple Polish Sponge Cake - Biszkopt


"Biszkopt" is a classic Polish sponge cake known for its light and airy texture. This fail-proof recipe offers an easier version, using whole eggs and baking powder instead of separating yolks and whites. Perfect for beginners or those looking for a simpler approach to baking this beloved cake.
Biszkopt is ideal for birthday cakes or any dessert requiring layers and cream. Its sturdy yet light texture ensures it doesn't become overly moist when soaked with coffee, punch, or other liquids, making it the perfect base for various sweet treats.

To make biszkopt, eggs and sugar are beaten together until thick and pale in color. Flour is then gently folded into the egg mixture, along with any desired flavorings. The batter is typically baked in a shallow pan to achieve a thin, delicate cake layer.
