Learn How to make a very Simple Sponge Cake Recipe that you can make at home in Oven with very minimal ingredients. This is the best basic recipe for fluffy, moist and simple, plain vanilla sponge cake with butter and milk.
Take a bowl and add 125 grams of all-purpose flour.
Also, add 3/4 tbsp of baking powder.
Mix them well with a spatula and keep aside.
Take two small bowls and 1egg. Break the egg and separate the egg yolk and egg white.
Blend the egg white with an electric hand mixer till it becomes fluffy. In this case, I use a regular mixer grinder to do this.
Then take another large bowl and pour the fluffy egg white and yolk. Now mix them with a spatula or a large metal spoon.
Add 8 grams of butter in it and continue whisking.
Now add caster sugar or powdered sugar in the egg mixture and mix well. You can add a little amount of powdered sugar and gradually mixed them. [You can also use icing sugar.]
Thereafter, add the mixed flour into it and mix well with a spatula or electric hand mixer.
Then add 1/3 tbsp of vanilla extract and mix it until the essence mixed well. You can also add the essence directly to the beaten egg.
Keep this cake mixture rest for 15 minutes.
In this meantime, grease the cake mold. I use regular cake mold but you can also use the cake tins.
Now pour the cake mixture into the cake mold.
Heat the oven (preheat) at 200C for about 10 minutes with both heater on.
Then place the cake mold into the oven and bake it for 25 minutes at 180C.
After the baking is done, you can see the cake mixture becomes double in size color in golden brown and very fluffy and spongy.
Cool it on a wire rack and serve with a cup of tea in the evening.
