sponge mixture Explanation: And I'd translate 'Rührteig' as 'cake batter' or just 'batter'. It doesn't matter what pastry chefs call these things exactly in German as it's a cultural thing among pastry chefs. The point is how English (lay) speakers will understand your translation. Maybe take a look at what 'angel cake' batter/mixture is referred to as, because that is exceedingly fluffy (hence the nickname 'angel cake'). -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2021-04-14 14:40:09 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Angel cake mix or mixture according to Google. |

Sponge cake mixture Explanation: Biskuitteig is a sponge cake mixture which is light and fluffy, using stiffly beaten eggs but no butter, as opposed to a Ruhrteig which is a firmer cake mixure using butter or margarine as well. Biskuitteig is used for light sponge cakes and sponge rolls filled with jam and cream, whereas Ruhrteig is used for firmer cakes. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 23 hrs (2021-04-15 12:59:48 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- I think that the problem here is that the Germans use the word "Teig" which means both "dough" as in "Hefeteig", a dough containing yeast for bread and buns, or "Blaetterteig" as in "puff pastry", and "mix or mixture" as in "Biskuitteig" as in "sponge cake mixture" and "Ruhrteig" as in a basic "cake mixture".. We say pastry or yeast dough but cake mix. The Germans use the same word. So I would say "Masse" would translate as "mixture". Example sentence(s):
