Do you have to take off challah from a batter of sponge cake

Question:

Do you have to take off challah from a batter of sponge cake

Answer:

Essentialy yes, we have to take off challah from a recipe of sponge cake. But this is only if it has the correct amount of flour, and the batter will have to be pretty large. Also we don’t take off challah when it is in a pourable liquid form. Threfore challah should be taken only after it is baked.
