If you can find Rose Levy Beranbaum's 'The Cake Bible' it has quite a few versions of a Génoise that all are excellent!! I have never seen a recipe for a Génoise done in a bread machine (that doesn't mean they're not out there). The batter is very delicate and it seems it would get too deflated in a bread machine. These can be done by hand with a good large whisk or in a mixer with whisk attachment. She also has a site that's easy to find (realbakingwithrose). If you already knew all of this I apologize for the overkill but this is one of my favorite cakes to make and Iwould hate for you to get a bad recipe online.
Hi,
Thanks for your advice.
I suppose what you referred to was;
realbakingwithrose.dot.com
It has a discussion Forum
Génoise, Italian sponge cake, does not use any chemical leavening, instead using air suspended in the batter during mixing to give volume to the cake.
I found "Fear of Génoise -- an Important Lesson" on their website.
The "Genoise recipe" which I found on Internet is;
1.25 oz. clarified beurre noisette (browned butter)
1 teaspoon vanilla
7 oz. whole eggs (about 4 eggs)
3.5 oz. sugar
1.75 oz. sifted cake flour
1.75 oz. cornstarch
Syrup for soaking
2 oz. sugar
4 oz. water
1 oz. liqueur of your choice
Comment and advice would be appreciated. TIA
