Not
a real sponge, but an easy to make, vegan sponge which we adopted
years ago and have made ever since. It rises a treat and never gives
any problems, despite
not having any eggs in it. Non-vegans can substitute honey for the
sugar or you can use concentrated apple juice, but it does tend to
interfere with the
rise - which is why we have stuck with sugar.
