Mama's Sponge cake was very special to us. She made them every summer to go with Strawberries and Cool Whip! My mama LOVED cool whip! She was so proud of the blue ribbons she won with this cake. I got the footage for this video over a year ago on a good day for mama. She had dementia and so that day I was so that day I had made a homemade Angel Food cake and she wanted me to make her a sponge cake! Mama passed 6/4/2019. WANT TO BUY A COOKBOOK?

DO YOU REMEMBER that good old southern cooking? When I was growing up, my granny was my favorite cook. My mama was an amazing cook as well, but there was just something about being in granny’s kitchen. We all gathered around the table when we went to her house. She had a kitchen that was about 12x12 . She had a round table in the center. There was never a time when there wasn't something on that round table that we could eat. She made a pan of biscuits every day and a pawn of cornbread. She grew almost everything she made in the garden and canned many of her foods. She had a smoke house and that is where she stored her sweet potatoes and her russet potatoes. Granddaddy took the corn (field corn) that they grew to the feed mill every year so she had her own homemade cornmeal. If you want to learn how to cook like this woman, all you have to do is watch my southern cooking tutorials and you will become one of the best Southern cooks around. Your family and friends will love everything you make, and you will have more company and more company means more love in your home and heart! Thank you so much for being a part of this dream of mine. I want everyone to enjoy the same flavors and types of food that we (our family) grew up eating.

Hey yall!, it’s Tammy with Collard Valley Cooks! I am a southern girl born in raised in Collard Valley in Polk County Georgia. My entire (Benefield) family had around 150 acres and we mostly raised cattle. We raised our own corn for feed so it was field corn. We also raised our own hogs for sausage and bacon, and of course our own beef. We fed our bulls seed before sending them to the butcher so the meat would be delicious. Not sure why everyone wants grass fed beef and free-range chickens. They really do not taste as good as those fed with feed. We had a large family and when I was young all of daddy’s brothers and sisters lived in the valley around his parents. It was a great place to grow up with lots of things to see and do all around. Country people like us love the smell, beauty and fruit of the land. We went to church on Sunday, school during the week, the grocery store on Friday’s and that was our life. No vacations, no camping, just plain old southern country people
NOW FOR THIS FAMILY RECIPE:
Mama's Blue Ribbon Sponge Cake
3/4 cup sugar
1 1/2 cups self rising flour
Sift above ingredients together in a very large bowl.
6 EGGS
1/4 CUP WATER
1 TSP. VANILLA EXTRACT
1/4 CUP SUGAR
1 TEASPOON CREAM OF TARTAR
Separate eggs into 2 different bowls. On low speed add 1/4 cup sugar and 1 tsp cream of tartar to egg whites then turn up to full speed and beat until high peaks form and it looks glossy. Set these whites to the side.
Now beat the egg yellows, water and vanilla until very foamy and frothy. Add dry ingredients slowly to yellows and beat on high until creamy.
Put whites in the large bowl the dry ingredients were in. Pour yellows over whites and then FOLD DO NOT STIR with a spatula until all of the whites are evenly distributed in batter.
Pour batter into a dry (not greased) tube pan and bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes. Take cake out and let it sit upside down to cool. Take a spatula and go around the edges between cake and pan to release it from the sides. Once it lets go separate it from the bottom and flute of the pan with a flat spatula.
This cake is low in sugar and has no oils! It is so delicious with fresh strawberries.
