27 sponge cakes of the light and fluffy kind

Madeleines, roulades, lamingtons – we'll take them all.

Brown sugar sponge cake with caramel pears
A classic Victorian sponge cake spread with cream and piled high with strawberries is a thing of beauty. But we won't say no to a pistachio and rose roulade, a rich chocolate lamington cake and a few madeleines either. Sponge cakes, in any form, make a welcome addition to afternoon teas and dessert times.
