Genoese, also called Genoise or Génoise, is a light and fluffy sponge cake named after the city of Genoa in Italy. It is one of the more difficult cakes to make at home and is known for its delicate, foam like texture and incredibly moist character. Genoise is made with eggs, sugar, flour and butter and is unique because it uses whipped eggs to leaven the cake rather than relying on baking powder or bicarbonate of soda alone which regular sponge cakes do. Shelf LifeThese cakes have a relatively short shelf life, we recommend only ordering 1 – 2 weeks before they are to be consumed unless freezing. Every effort is taken to ship with 2 weeks shelf life but this may be less once received.  .embed-container { position: relative; padding-bottom: 56.25%; height: 0; overflow: hidden; max-width: 100%; } .embed-container iframe, .embed-container object, .embed-container embed { position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; }
