Ingredients

  • 220 g flour
  • 130 g of sugar
  • 1 tsp baking powder (heaped)
  • 1 pinch of salt
  • 240 ml sparkling water
  • 6 tbsp oil
  • 1/2 lemon (zest of it)

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 180 ° top / bottom heat.
  • First mix the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt together.
  • Then add the sparkling water, oil and lemon zest and stir briefly to form a dough.
  • But don't stir too long so that the sponge cake stays nice and loose afterwards.
  • Now give a greased cake base form and bake for about 20 minutes.
  • Always use a stick test to check whether the dough is through.
  • If nothing sticks to the toothpick or wooden stick, the biscuit is ready.

Notes

If you don't have a cake at hand, you can also use a springform pan.
 
If you want your cake base to be thicker, you are probably better off with 1.5 times the amount of ingredients. Then the baking time is extended by a few minutes. The chopstick test always helps!
