A Trinidadian go to simple dessert :homemade spongecake. Are you looking for something to make for dessert after a Sunday lunch ? or are you looking for that classic cake with a hint of orange to offset your teatime or coffee time? If so, a homemade spongecake just might be what you are looking for. It's perfect for all occasions. It's also a wonderful little something to take over to a friend's house for a Christmas lime. I've grown up seeing my mom whip this cake in 10 minutes and on days when she wasn't able to bake it, my dad would drive down to Mayaro and buy this amazing butter sponge cake from a local vendor.
