Does anyone have a great sponge cake recipe? I need to make two layers in either 8 or 9" rounds. I have the CI Foolproof Sponge Cake in my files, and am wondering about that one. I want to use the cake layers for The Mexican Chocolate Icebox Cake, one of my favorite recipes. I usually use store-bought ladyfingers, but they suck, and I don't really feel like making my own at this point. http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/ ... ake-101955

Thanks so much, Alina - it sounds great!
By the way, do you happen to have a good recipe for Natilla? I used to love the Natilla from Victor's Cuban Cafe in NYC!

My mom made it for my dad all the time. I'll have to look in her cookbooks and recipes to find the one she made. I've not made it myself since I left home. I am more of a flan person. I'll look as soon as I finish with Flour. i borrowed my daughter's electronic copy so I only have it for 14 days. When I find it, I'll post it.
BTW, panetela is my favorite cake. I like to eat it plain (not fond of super sweet stuff as a rule) or even slightly toasted pieces. Of course my favorite is the Borracha made with my mom's simple syrup and Bacardi rum.
