Default sponge cake stablizer

hi,

Ovalette is a stabiliser used in baking sponge cakes. It helps the eggs to rise rapidly and stiffly. As it is acidic it also helps the beaten eggs to remain stable and not lose the airy and voluminous texture. It makes sponge cake softer and smoother.

I try to search where can I buy the ovalette or emulisfier but I can't find any online store take care them. So, I want to ask if someone using those product in your sponge cake or see it some where over U.S that sale to consumer?

thank!

Don't know how much batch your making. You could start out with 1/4 to a 1/2 t per cake. I would have to experiment with it but 1/4 sounds good.
