1. Make Sponge Cake
Preheat oven to 350 degrees and oil a square 9” by 9” baking pan. Combine flour, baking powder, sugar and salt in a medium sized bowl and set aside.

Add the flour mixture to the other ingredients. Pour into a baking pan and bake for about 25 minutes. Allow to cool completely before removing from pan. Cut into squares and set aside.
