Size of ingredients in video vs recipe

[Sussan Estela Olaya]

Hi Bill.

For this Genoise sponge cake recipe using 430 g of eggs, the total amount of batter is approximately 1000 grams (1 kg), based on the following:

• 430 g of eggs
• 285 g of sugar
• 285 g of flour

This gives us a base to determine the appropriate mold size.

Recommended round mold:
For light and airy Genoise-style sponge cakes, it’s best to use a mold that is 8 to 8.5 cm tall, filling it up to 2/3 of its height with batter. The ideal diameter is between 22 and 24 cm.

Alternatively, you can divide the batter into two molds, each 18 cm in diameter and 7 to 8 cm tall.

The baking time and temperature remain the same as indicated in the original recipe, since the total amount of ingredients hasn’t changed.

I hope this information is helpful.
Best regards.

This is helpful. I am a beginner in pastry. It is impossible for a beginner to make this properly since there is no discussion of what you have explained. We watch the video where all the batter is put into the mold. When a beginner makes it, there is a huge 1000g of batter to be put into one pan! By the way, the recipe instructions suck compared to the detail that is the video
