Two recipes from the book: Magic Sponge Cake and Japanese Strawberry Shortcake.

🧁 Magic Sponge Cake
No water bath. Cold eggs, straight from the fridge.
The usual method warms the eggs over a water bath before whipping. This recipe skips that. And there's one more thing that's reversed: liquid goes in before the flour. Oil and milk are added after whipping the eggs, before the flour is sifted in. That order keeps more air in the batter — and the sponge rises reliably every time.
[15cm / 6-inch round pan]
2 eggs (120g) — cold
70g granulated sugar
15g milk
10g vegetable oil
Vanilla, to taste
65g cake flour
160°C / 320°F — 38 minutes

🍓 One-Spoon Shortcake
No turntable, no palette knife. The whole cake is decorated with one spoon.
To slice the sponge evenly, fold a 50cm strip of parchment paper into a 1.5cm band and wrap it around the sides as a cutting guide. Layer with cream and strawberries, then cover the cake using the back of a spoon.
