You will love how tasty these mini sponge cakes are. They are the perfect breakfast cakes served with a cup of tea or coffee. Start by sifting the flour into a bowl, sifting is very important because it helps you when whisking other ingredients more easily and also prevents any clumps from getting in. After sifting the flour, add in a quarter teaspoon of baking soda, a teaspoon of baking powder, a cup of granulated sugar and a quarter teaspoon of salt then whisk them and set aside.

Into another bowl, add three eggs together with half a cup of sour cream and half a cup of warm milk. Whisk the wet ingredients to combine then add vanilla extract for flavouring and give it another whisk. The final ingredients to add in the wet mixture is three-quarters of unsalted room temperature butter.

Add the bitter into the mixture and lightly beat it in, the butter will be clumped up like cottage cheese but that is fine when you add the dry ingredients it will be fine. Add the dry ingredients to the wet and just mix it in until you get a smooth batter.
