Fluffy Sponge Cake with Pancake Mix

1. 1

   Cut parchment paper to the size of the sides and bottom of the cake pan, and line the pan with it.

2. 2

   Microwave the milk for about 1 minute.

3. 3

   Soften the margarine in the microwave as well.

4. 4

   Preheat the oven to 170C.

5. 5

   Combine the softened margarine and sugar in a bowl, and mix with a whisk.

6. 6

   When they are mixed together, add the milk, and mix further.

7. 7

   The mixture tends to separate if the margarine is too hard or the milk is too cold.

8. 8

   So be careful.

9. 9

   Add the pancake mix and baking powder, and mix further.

10. 10

    You can still use the whisk as the batter is rather soft.

11. 11

    Pour the batter into the lined cake pan, and smooth out the surface.

12. 12

    The centre of the cake will rise, so make a shallow dent in the middle.

13. 13

    Bake in the oven (lower rack) at 170C for 30 minutes.
