They loaded opposite of what I wanted but here it is. This cake to the left is a close up of the texture. It is very much like a sponge cake you would buy from the store for strawberry shortcake. It has the same texture and flavor I decided to give the family a variety if tastes. I iced this one with a cream cheese frosting and topped it with strawberries. It was really yummy and summery for Fathers Day. (So I did it really early. I got mixed up.)
The one to the right is the cake the way it is written. This is a really fast and easy cake. The flavor is very mild. Whatever you wanted to put on top would be wonderful. I put the frosting on the hot cake and broiled it immediately. I liked the broiled coconut topping but it gave it a heavier wintery feel. I liked the cream cheese and strawberry one better. I have had an orange, cream cheese, and cool whip type topping served on sponge cake somewhere and that would be light and summery too. This is definitely a keeper because of it's versatility to any taste.
