Absolutely Terrible Sponge Cake that was tough as hell

Cuts right to the point, skips almost all the steps! (And then you eat the final result and learn why the steps were necessary - I mean, it was unsquashable like a good sponge ... but cheeeeeeewwwwwwwwy af. Cake is cake and I still ate an embarrassing amount, but what we didn't eat that night I just pitched - 'twas bad.)
