This wee recipe is one of my Nanny's and brings back so many memories. She always rustles this up when there's some fresh fruit on the go. I don't exaggerate when I say it's like eating a cloud. The sponge is beyond light and airy, yet so simple to make. It's great for a quick summer dessert when you have that delicious seasonal fruit. But it would be shame not to have it all year round. So if you're asking me plaster it in whatever fruit there is, jam, or even a few flakes crumbled over the top. There's times we just work with what we've got, it doesn't have to be fancy!

Step 1

Get your eggs and caster sugar into a mixing bowl, starting to whisk on a slow pace for a few minutes. Gradually build this up to the fastest setting and it will start to lighten and grow in volume. This will take around 5 minutes and is were the sponge gets its light airy texture. You'll know it's done when it has pretty much doubled in size and leaves a trail behind.
