Vanilla Coffee Layered Sponge

Ever since my daughter's exam was over we've been out almost everyday. Last weekend was a super nice one which we've been shopping for 2 days, having coffee at CoffeeBean Cafe and a relax picnic that my daughter wanted so much. How I which it never ends...haha!
But we already have plans for the coming year end holidays!! YEAH!! This coming holidays we'll have lots of visitors and trips...woohoo...I've been counting down for them..:D What about you?
Do you notice that almost all shopping complexs have started their X'mas decorations? Oh I love X'mas, just can't wait!
Well, today's bakes...a light and soft Coffee Sponge Cake. I love cakes, but worry about the fats and calories in it. Since I've been craving for it, why not a lighter one to satisfy myself..:)


Not to mention about coffee..that's something I must have everyday. So I just mix and match the sponge with my desire flavour, well its nice..heehee..;p Its soft and fluffy too!
