Sponge cake is an Italian cake that combines flour, sugar, and eggs. Some put icing on top of the sponge cake for aesthetic and a more flavorful cake. As the years went by, the varieties of sponge cake widened and it became so famous worldwide that it’s hard to imagine that it was once only made in Italy. Some preparations put fillings in the sponge cake such as sweet creams and fresh mixed fruits.
