    Step 1.

    How to make a sponge cake in a frying pan without using an oven? Very simple. First, prepare the necessary ingredients according to the list. Take the flour of the highest grade. Eggs are needed either selected or of the first category.

  2. Step 2:

    Step 2.

    Pre-melt the butter on the stove or in the microwave and cool to room temperature.

  3. Step 3:

    Step 3.

    Beat eggs with sugar into a fluffy airy foam. The airiness of your pie depends on how you beat the eggs. You can not beat the mass straight white and to a density - the protein will lose the air bubbles that lift the dough. And in this case, even baking powder will not help. The dough will either not rise at all, or it will rise very weakly.

  4. Step 4:

    Step 4.

    Sift flour with baking powder and pour parts into the egg mixture, beating each time with a mixer until smooth.

  5. Step 5:

    Step 5.

    At the very end, pour in the cooled melted butter and beat the mass again until smooth at low speed.

  6. Step 6:

    Step 6.

    Line a frying pan with a thick bottom (Ø 24-26 cm) with parchment. To prevent the dough from sinking under the parchment, it needs to be oiled well. Then the parchment will fit snugly to the bottom.If possible, it is better to line the sides with parchment too. Pour out the sponge dough.

  7. Step 7:

    Step 7.

    Cover the pan with a lid and put it on a slow fire. Bake for 25-30 minutes until tender. It is better not to open the lid for the first 20 minutes, because the biscuit may settle. If the biscuit is well baked at the bottom, and the top is not ready yet, you can gently turn it over and bake for another 2-3 minutes.

  8. Step 8:

    Step 8.

    Transfer the finished biscuit to a dish, remove the parchment. You can make a cake out of it by smearing it with cream. I sprinkled the sponge cake with cocoa and served it to the table. Enjoy your meal!
