What's Cooking at Sofia's: Pão de Ló - Portuguese Sponge Cake
A different take on Sponge cake.

I have always loved this recipe, especially when you're able to cook in in such a way that the middle part is still VERY wet. I have always been afraid of making this recipe as I am not the best at baking. But amazingly enough, it came out perfect and I am very proud of myself.
Every time I make it, it seems to disappear rather quickly, espcially with kids around.
