Fluffy Sponge Cake

by

Ingredients

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

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a round cake pan.
  2. Separate the egg whites and yolks.
  3. In a bowl, beat egg whites with a pinch of salt until foamy, then gradually add half of the sugar and whisk until stiff peaks form.
  4. In another bowl, whisk the egg yolks with the remaining sugar until pale and creamy. Add warm milk, oil, and vanilla extract, mixing well.
  5. Sift flour and baking powder into the yolk mixture and fold gently.
  6. Add the beaten egg whites gradually, folding slowly to keep the batter airy.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and tap lightly to remove air bubbles.
  8. Bake for 25–30 minutes until golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  9. Let cool before slicing.

✨ You’ll get a soft, airy, and fluffy sponge cake—perfect on its own or layered with cream and fruits!
