i m looking for any recipes for cakes that are light and fluffy without being sponge cakes. Can anyone refer me to a few?

From joyofbaking.com

The combination method is when whipped egg whites are added to the creamed ingredients. This method gives additional volume and light texture to your cake. Some recipes that call for the creaming method can be changed to this method by simply separating the eggs, beating the whites separately with a little of the recipe's sugar, and then adding the whites to the finished batter.
