Ingredients:

2 eggs
100g
1/3 cup sugar
72g
1 tbsp maple syrup
16g
1/2 cup all-purpose white wheat flour
60g
1 tsp cinnamon
3g
1 tsp ginger
5g
1 tsp baking soda
5g
1 cup heavy whipping cream
230g
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
2g

Instructions:

1. Preheat and Prepare:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
2. Prepare the Sponge Batter:
- In a medium bowl, beat the eggs with an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy.
- Gradually add the sugar and continue to beat until well combined and the mixture is pale and thick.
- Mix in the maple syrup until incorporated.
3. Dry Ingredients:
- In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cinnamon, ginger, and baking soda.
- Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the egg mixture using a spatula, ensuring everything is well combined without over-mixing.
4. Bake:
- Using a spoon or ice cream scoop, divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups.
- Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 12-15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a sponge comes out clean.
- Once done, remove the tin from the oven and allow the sponges to cool completely on a wire rack.
5. Prepare the Cream Filling:
- In a large mixing bowl, pour the heavy whipping cream.
- Add the vanilla extract.
- Beat the cream on medium-high speed until soft peaks form. Be careful not to over-whip.
6. Assemble the Sponges:
- Once the sponges are completely cooled, use a small knife to cut a circular piece out of the top of each sponge, creating a hole for the filling. Reserve the cut-out pieces.
- Fill each hole with the whipped cream using a spoon or piping bag.
- Replace the cut-out piece on top of the cream-filled hole, like a lid.

7. Serve:
- Optionally, dust the tops with a bit of cinnamon or powdered sugar for an extra touch.
- Serve immediately or store the cream-filled sponges in the refrigerator until ready to serve.

Tips:

- Ensure your eggs are at room temperature for optimal volume when whisking.

- Sift the flour, cinnamon, ginger, and baking soda together to avoid lumps and ensure an even distribution of spices.

- Be careful not to overmix the batter once you have added the dry ingredients to maintain the light and airy texture of the sponges.

- Chill the heavy whipping cream and mixing bowl before whipping the cream to achieve the best results.

- Gently fold the whipped cream with the vanilla extract to keep it light and fluffy.

- Use a piping bag to fill the sponges neatly and evenly with the cream.

Your Cinnamon Cream-Filled Sponges are now ready to be served and savored. The soft, airy sponges combined with the sweet, cinnamon-infused cream filling create a mouth-watering treat that's perfect for any occasion. Enjoy these little delights with a cup of coffee or tea, or simply as a luxurious dessert. Happy baking!
