I have attempted this recipe 3 times and each time my cake came out looking brown (from the cinnamon and nutmeg) and not nice an yellow like my mom used to make and like the one in your recipe!!!! Help me please! Sponge cake is my favourite cake in the world! Trini thing! : )
Check your measurements make sure it’s teaspoons. Or use less nutmeg and cinnamon to suit your taste. By the way what kind of butter and flour did you use?
