- How do I get the seeds out easily?

Pomegranate Cream Sponge
Pomegranate seeds are tiny, juicy capsules that crunch with every bite hidden in the whipped cream, releasing refreshing acids. This textural play makes this simple sponge-based cake special. The whipped cream provides a neutral background for the fruit's character.
