Welcome to the kitchen and introduction to the recipe.

List the ingredients for the sponge cake.

Cream together 6 oz of sugar and 6 oz of butter manually until smooth.

Add 1 tsp of Ammon Essence and 3 splashes of Angostura bitters and brown cinnamon to the mixture.

Add 4 egg yolks one at a time, mixing well after each addition.

Add the whites of the 4 eggs and continue mixing.

Add 1 tsp of baking powder and gradually add 6 oz of flour, mixing lightly to avoid lumps.

Continue mixing until the batter is smooth, even if it appears lumpy at first.

Prepare a bread pan by spraying with non-stick spray and dusting with flour.

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Pour the batter into the prepared bread pan.

Bake in the preheated oven for 35-45 minutes, checking doneness with a knife.

Once baked, remove the cake from the pan and transfer it to a plate.

Slice the cake and serve.
