Fluffy Sponge Cake

by

Ingredients

  • 4 large eggs (room temperature)
  • 1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar
  • 1 cup (120 g) all-purpose flour (sifted)
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) milk (warm)
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) vegetable oil (or melted butter)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line an 8-inch (20 cm) round cake pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, beat eggs with sugar using an electric mixer until pale, thick, and tripled in volume (about 6–8 minutes).
  3. In a separate bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, and salt.
  4. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the whipped egg mixture in batches, being careful not to deflate the batter.
  5. Combine warm milk, oil (or butter), and vanilla extract in a small bowl. Slowly drizzle this mixture into the batter and fold gently until just combined.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top.
  7. Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

This cake is super light, fluffy, and perfect for layering with cream or fresh fruit! 🍰
