Faq
- Can I use a regular oven instead of a microwave?
Absolutely! While the microwave technique is quicker, you can bake the sponge moss in a regular oven at 180°C (350°F) for about 5-7 minutes or until it's set.
- How do I know if the sponge moss is done baking?
Check with a toothpick – it should come out clean when inserted into the center of the sponge moss. It should be firm yet springy to the touch.
- What can I do if my sponge moss feels too dense?
Over-mixing the batter can make it dense. Ensure to gently fold ingredients and avoid over-processing. Also, check if your baking powder is fresh.
- Can I prepare the sponge moss ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare it a day in advance. Store it in an airtight container at room temperature. Just make sure it’s completely cool before storing to avoid moisture buildup.
- Can I add flavorings to the sponge moss?
Sure! Feel free to add natural extracts like vanilla, almond, or citrus zest to enhance the flavor of your sponge moss.
- How can I maintain the vibrant color of the sponge moss?
Use high-quality, concentrated food coloring and avoid overbaking, as prolonged heat can dull the colors.
