Bolu Jadoel (Old Skool Sponge Cake)

I was given many new born eggs and since I usually bake only in AA or A grade eggs, I do not really know how to finish up so many tiny eggs till I saw LA posted this Indonesian old skoll butter cake but I have no idea why is it called a butter cake as the butter is really very little here.  

After researching, many known this cake as sponge cake.  Thus I shall call it Old Skool Sponge Cake as the texture is more towards that. 

Findings: This cake is light and fluffy and the colour is beautiful.  I am not sure it is because I used new born eggs as the yolk colour is really intense or it is because of the high volume of egg yolks used. 

This is a small cake so we are not concern about the health issue.  After all, we only live once and it is alright to indulge ourselves once a while.

I only increased the vanilla as I was worried about the eggy taste.  

Unfortunately, my cake was not well baked as I did not get that smooth top as LA's.  Mine turned crinkly.

Nevertheless, this recipe is a keeper!  Thanks for sharing.

120g egg yolks (approx 6)
