- When our sponge cake batter is homogeneous, add the boiling water, very slowly, and stir.Pour the dough into the baking pan, and let it bake at 300ºF for about 40-45 minutes (check that it is done with a toothpick. If you prick it and it comes out dry, you can remove it).A few minutes before our sponge cake is done, we are going to prepare the cream with which we will "fill" it.2/3 Cup boiling water
