The other kind of ingredients could be the corn flour; this gives a cake a light texture. Using butter seem as having been recognized universally, except when it comes to the case of baking queen, Mary Berry, that opt for margarine. We have got eggs, although the source for the quantities is also a debate. The purists will weigh eggs for ensuring there is consistency plus quality. For some they are known for adding of extra yolks where the main purpose for this is creation of golden color to the sponge. For some of the recipe they usually add splash milk, having intention of making better way for spreading in pans, for the nice cake (Man & Jones, 1994).
