The Perfect Korean Sponge Cake Every Time | Easy Tutorial + 3 Tips for Success

This fluffy Korean bakery-style sponge cake (also called Saeng Cream Cake) is layered with fresh cream icing and strawberries. Light, airy, and not too sweet — just like the cakes I grew up with in Korea.

Made with a soft genoise sponge and topped with smooth whipped cream frosting, this cake is perfect for birthdays, celebrations, or simply baking at home. It’s my son’s favorite, and it always brings back childhood memories.

✨ Try this Korean fresh cream cake recipe for a homemade version of the cakes you’ll find at Paris Baguette or Tous Les Jours. Baking feels like therapy, and I’m so happy to share it with you.

✨ Oven Temperature Tips
• Conventional oven (no fan): Preheat to 390°F for 30 minutes, then bake at 375°F for 35–40 minutes
• Convection oven (with fan): Bake at 350°F for 35–40 minutes

The oven temperature may vary depending on your oven.

✨ Recipe Notes
• For a 6-inch cake, reduce all my ingredients by half
• Always use a deep cake pan (3 inches) — sponge cakes rise a lot!

💡 Storage Tip:
Can refrigerate up to two days until ready to ice. You can also freeze it for up to one month
