Howdy Foodies! where today we'll be baking a light and fluffy sponge cake that's perfect for any occasion. This simple yet elegant dessert is easy to make and always impresses your guests.
Ingredients
4 large eggs, at room temperature
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
1.Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch cake pan.
2.In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs on high speed until light and frothy, about 5 minutes.
3.Gradually add the sugar to the eggs and continue beating until the mixture is thick and pale, about 5 more minutes.
4.Sift the flour, baking powder, and salt into a separate mixing bowl.
5.Using a spatula, gently fold the dry ingredients into the egg mixture until just combined.
6.Add the vanilla extract and fold it in gently.
7.Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
8.Bake the cake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
9.Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Then, run a knife around the edge of the cake to loosen it from the pan, and invert it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Baking Tip: For an extra airy and light sponge cake, be sure to sift your dry ingredients together before folding them into the egg mixture. This will help to evenly distribute the ingredients and ensure a fluffy texture. Also, make sure not to over-mix the batter, as this can cause the cake to become dense and heavy. Happy baking!
