Instructions to make Lime sponge cake:

4. Sift the flour and baking powder into the bowl and gently fold into the mixture until fully combined. Take your time, being gentle with the batter is crucial for getting a light and fluffy cake.
5. Add the juice of 1 lime to the batter and gently fold that in. The lime will slightly react with the baking powder to form bubbles in the mixture.
