How can the eggs become stiff if you don't separate them?
Also it's a lot of sugar, can I cut half?
And finally can I use applesauce instead of oil to not have fat?

That's a lot of questions for a cake.
The eggs do become stiff, maybe not as well as just whites, but they do as long as they're cold. The bowl and beaters could also be cold.
I don't know about cutting it in 1/2, but yes, you could use less.
I have no idea about the applesauce, sorry!

Brilliant recipe, Yo'ma! I did it exactly as instructed, including cold bowl and whisk. Mmmmm. Wonderful crusty layer on top, nice and spongy inside. What a great recipe, perfectly plain. I did the whole recipe with the whisk attachment, it's such a light recipe. Thanks!

I'm so glad it worked out. It's my grandmother's recipe from a million years ago. I don't know where she got it from. It's really supposed to be a marble cake, but it never worked, so I didn't even write that part down in my "cookbook".

I was going to write: it tastes like something my Baba would have made, had she been a baker. Instead, she always bought us sponge cake from her baker on the lower east side, and we LOVED it. My mother, more of a gourmand never made us sponge cake

A lower-case "t" means teaspoon. Tablespoon is a capital T.

Too late . Made it with tablespoons. It's done already and tastes ok. How would it be different had I made it with teaspoons?

2 T b.p. probably gave it somewhat a bitter taste! Way better with 2 teaspoons! I guess there's always a next time!

baking powder is salty ... usually 1 tsp to 1 cup flour ... and that's how you know if it's a mistake ... unless they're for pancakes

That is really interesting because the cake is not bitter at all. My dh actually loves it.

Really REALLY old post, I know, but I just want to say - made this last Shabbos and it was incredibly delicious, will absolutely make again. BUT I baked it in a silicone tube pan and it needed way longer to bake than I gave it. It fooled me because it looked very "done" on top but was almost completely liquid at the core. So I may have to cover it with tinfoil in my small Israeli oven.
Thanks anyway for a great new recipe!
(p.s. Added 1 small baking chocolate bar, maybe 3oz to the chocolate swirl part and yum...)

It’s supposed to be turned upside down to cool and if you grease it, it will fall out. Besides that, I haven’t made it in years, so I don’t remember much.
