Fluffy Sponge Cake

INGREDENT

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

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line an 8-inch round cake pan with parchment paper.
  2. Separate eggs – whites in one bowl, yolks in another.
  3. Whip egg whites using an electric mixer until foamy. Gradually add half the sugar and beat until stiff peaks form.
  4. Beat yolks with remaining sugar until pale and thick. Add vanilla, warm milk, and oil. Mix well.
  5. Sift flour, baking powder, and salt into the yolk mixture and gently fold until combined.
  6. Fold egg whites into the batter in three parts, gently mixing until smooth and airy.
  7. Pour batter into prepared pan and tap gently to release air bubbles.
  8. Bake for 25–30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  9. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then remove and cool completely on a wire rack.
