There's an entire episode of "Curb your Enthusiasm" devoted to Sponge Cake. "It's like a delicious sponge"! At the end of the episode an oversized garbage bag of thrown away Sponge Cake saves someone's life after they fall from a balcony only to land on the cushiony confection!!🤣🤣. But I digress. Ya know last week you mentioned something interesting regarding the particular Banana Bread you made. That it wasn't overly sweet. It's kind of ironic that as a genuine sweet tooth, I tend to appreciate "sweets" when they aren't too "sweet"??!! There's more going on than just sugar. And when I think of some of the "yummier" Sponge Cakes I've enjoyed, they too weren't too sweet. The picture of the uncut cake is gorgeous. If I ever fall from a daunting height I hope it's that very cake that is there to break my fall 🤣. The pic of the slice of cake is ever more tantalizing. And while we're at it, your pal Gretchen's Ice Cream looks amazing!! Good stuff as always Jolene. Always love to hear the historic origins. See ya next week!🙋‍♂️

I love this! 🤣 “It’s like a delicious sponge!” 😂🤣

Thanks for all your thoughts, so true about more going on than just ‘sweet’ in a good dessert.

And, yes, I want a bowl of Gretchen’s ice cream! Thanks, Donald! 🤗

This looks just like my grandmother-in-law's "strawberry shortcake", which I've always thought (to myself) isn't really a shortcake, but is definitely delicious!
