fenway12 Layer Vanilla Sponge Cake
This is a beautiful cake and looks complicated but it is really very easy. It's a straight forward vanilla sponge cake portioned out in thin layers in 12 pans. I just used foil pans . The whipped chocolate filling and chocolate glaze are also quick and simple. Best of all this cake is so delicious and always a surprise when you make the first cut to reveal all the layers!

Cooking instructions
* Step 1
MAKE CAKE LAYERS
* Step 2
Preheat oven to 350. Spray 12 - 9 inch cake pans well with bakers spray. I used foil pans as I don't have 12 cake pans
* Step 3
Seperate eggs. Put yolks in 1 large bowl and whites in another large bowl. Let stand, covered to come to room temperature, at least 30 minutes
* Step 4
Whisk flour, baking soda and salt in bowl, set aside
* Step 5
Beat egg yolks with buttermilk, 2 cups of the sugar and vanilla until light and increased in volume, 5 to 8 minutes. Beat in reserved flour mixture just until well blended
* Step 6
With clean, dry beaters, beat egg whites and cream of tarter until foamy and increased in volume
* Step 7
Gradually add remaing 1/4 cup sugar until glossy firm peaks form
* Step 8
Add 1/4 of egg white mixture to yolk mixture and fold in. Add remaining whites to yolks in 3 more additions, folding each addition in being careful not to deflate but thoroughly blending in
* Step 9
Evenly divide batter in the 12 prepared pans. I used a one cup measure to scoop and pour into each pan, tapping pans to level batter
* Step 10
Bake 4 cakes at a time in preheated oven until light golden, and cake feels dry not sticky. A toothpick will be mostly clean. About 7 to 9 minutes. Cool pans on racks 5 minutes then run a small sharp knife around edges to prevent any sticking
* Step 11
MAKE FILLING. Whip cold Chocolate Ganache, recipe attached below
* Step 12
On a serving plate starting with one cake frost each layer with a thin layer of chocolate ganache, sandwichng each layer. Keep top layer un frosted, and chill cake 2 hours to firm up before glazing.
* Step 13
MAKE CHOCOLATE GLAZE
* Step 14
Place semi sweet chocolate on large bowl. Heat cream to a simmer, either stove top or in microwave. Pour over chocolate, let sit undisturbed 1 minute to melt chocolte. Whisk until smooth. Let glaze sit at room temperature until it thickens some but is still able to pour
* Step 15
Glaze cake by spooning glaze over top of cake and letting it slide down sides
* Step 16
Garnish with sprinkles while glaze is wet to allow to stick. Chill cake to set before cutting.
