Lemonade “Mouskoutchou” Sponge Cake
Everyone I know has eaten a Pound Cake in their Lives but when I ask them if they ever tried its Mediterranean Cousin?…. No one really knows.
The Mouskoutchou is Traditional Sponge Cake from Algeria. The batter does not contain butter but Vegetable Oil and Juice. The combination of both gives it an incredible texture. And it is perfect with your favorite jam or spread on top.
I have tried numerous recipes in the past, but my most favorite version is the one I have made from Marion with Lemonade (@novice_en_cuisine). It is incredibly tasty and you can find it right HERE.
In addition, please note that The Star Mold is available online in France, only. My consultant name is COURBARIE Marion for any Guy Demarle orders.
Enjoy & Bon Appetit!
As always, you will find the Step-by-Step Video below the recipe.
