my first sponge cake

I was super excited when I browse a simple recipe and method to make a sponge cake. As a newbie, I just discover that there are many types of cakes. I have only baked butter vanilla cake and moist(oil) chocolate cake before. Now that I learned as I browsed, I found that sponge cake is called sponge because of the method is different, thus produce spongy textured cake. For butter cake, the core process is creaming the butter + sugar until light and fluffy. But for sponge cake, the core process is to beat the eggs until fluffy. But most sponge cake recipe I found on internet called for separating the whites and the yolks, to beat the whites alone before folding into flour mixture. But hey, as I told you in the beginning, I saw this recipe on youtube by BakeLikeAPro which doesn't need the eggs to be separated! Yeeeeha! Because I can't imagine handling the mess to beat yolks, then wash the bowl, beat whites. You know, you have to really clean the bowl and the whisk so that the egg whites beaten won't fail to form meringue. So, this recipe is kinda hero for my situation(or preference).
