Welcome to the forum ZA,  someone will be on to give you a few hints with sponge making,  I don't make many cakes but I've never had a failure with any and I'm one of those people who just throw everything in ;)

This recipe is very popular too zumba angel Quick Mix Dark Chocolate Cake (http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=11212.0)

for something different try Magic Bean Cake (http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=10643.0)

Have a read of the reviews, they're enough to convince you these 2 are worth a try too and for the sponge,

Bron's Easy Lemon Sponge (http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=2076.0) recipe has a lot of good reviews, maybe it's worth a go.  

Welcome to the forum, hope to hear more from you as you try our recipes.

Oops, I see Sue has given some of the same links as I have.   ;D

Looking at the pic in the book it doesn't look like a particularly high sponge. Each half only looks about an inch high. When whipping the egg whites they definitely need yo be at room temp before starting.

Welcome ZA. I love making sweet things in the tmx, although they are usually biscuits.
