Did you use a box mix or did you make the cake from scratch?

The more information the better to help you.

This is the only info I have on "rubbery":

When mixing do you use a hand or stand mixer?
A medium speed on a hand mixer would be a low speed on a stand mixer.

I made the cake both times from scratch using a kitchen aid mixture. the high ration sponge cake required:

4 cups of sugar
2 cups of fluid flex
4 cups of eggs
2 cups of butter milk
.88 oz of salt and baking powder
1 1b 10 1/2 oz of cake flour.

the yello cake required:

1 lb of butter and cake shortening
3 ob 10 2/3 oz of sugar
1/2 oz vanilla
3 1/2 cups of whole eggs
1ob 2 oz cake flour and all purpose flour
2 T baking powder
2 tsp of salt
5 cups of mil

I use the cream method for the yellow cake
