Steps:
- Heat oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4. Grease then line the base and sides of 2 x 20cm sandwich tins with greaseproof paper. Sieve the flours and baking powder together.
- Use electric hand beaters to whisk the egg whites until stiff, then briefly whisk in the sugar. Beat the egg yolks quickly, then whisk into the whites. Fold in the dry ingredients using a large metal spoon, then spoon the mixture into the tins and level the tops. Bake for 18-20 mins until risen, light golden and a skewer inserted into the middle comes out clean. Cool in the tins for 10 mins, then gently remove and leave to cool completely.
- Mix the mandarins and fromage frais together. Peel away the greaseproof paper, sandwich the cakes with the mandarin mix, then dust with the icing sugar to serve. Best eaten on the day it's made.

Tips:
- Use fresh fruits: Fresh fruits impart the best flavor and texture to the cake. If you're using frozen fruits, thaw them completely and drain off any excess liquid before adding them to the batter.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can result in a tough, dense cake. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the cake at the right temperature: The ideal baking temperature for a sponge cake is 350°F (175°C). If the oven is too hot, the cake will brown too quickly and may not cook through in the center. If the oven is too cool, the cake will take too long to bake and may become dry.
- Use a toothpick to test for doneness: Insert a toothpick into the center of the cake. If it comes out clean, the cake is done. If it comes out with crumbs or batter attached, the cake needs to bake for a few more minutes.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting: Frosting a warm cake will cause the frosting to melt and slide off. Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting it.
Conclusion:
With its light and fluffy texture, moist crumb, and burst of fruity flavor, this sponge cake is a delightful treat for any occasion. Follow these tips for perfect results every time:- Use fresh fruits.
- Don't overmix the batter.
- Bake the cake at the right temperature.
- Use a toothpick to test for doneness.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting.
