Thanks weezil, most of the recipes seem to use self raising flour but im guessing cornflour makes a fluffier sponge? Could I use a round cake tin?

of course you can just make sure its going to be big enough to hold the mixture plus allowing it to rise, maybe line your tin up the sides a bit over the top of the tin so nothing will spill over and make a mess... yup and your right my sponge was fluffy and I was a bit peeved that I had to put it in the freezer instead of slathering it with cream and passionfruit! ... lol

Have you tried the sponge recipe on the back of the packet of the Edmonds [used to be Fielders ] cornflour its a very good recipe easy instructions. I make this sponge all the time.

The Fielders one was a beauty but doeshave a small amount of flour so is not suitable for those who can't have gluten. thanks for this recipe am putting it in myG/F recipes... ...

They are so easy - but you do need an electric mixer! The main thing is - eggs at room temp - and beat until white! We use the clasic eggs, cornflour, vanilla sugar recipe - and it is used as our GF birthday cake recipe - so I make it a lot!
