Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

4 large eggs at room temp
2 c white granulated sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 c whole milk
1/4 c unsalted or lightly salted butter
2 c all purpose flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt (use 3/8 tsp if using unsalted butter)

Steps:

1. Beat eggs in large mixing bowl (with paddle attachment if possible) for 4 minutes. Do not shorten the time.
2. Add sugar and continue beating for another 4 - 5 minutes until light and fluffy. Add vanilla and stir on low just until combined.
3. In a separate, sift together dry ingredients. Add to eggs and sugar on low speed just until combined.
4. In a saucepan (or microwave) heat milk and butter just until the butter is melted. Add to batter, beat just until combined.
5. Pour into two greased and floured 8" pans.
6. Bake at 325 about 33 - 35 mins or until the middle springs back when touched, or a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
7. Remove from oven and let stand in pans for 10 mins. Then turn out onto a wire cooling rack and cool completely before frosting.

Tips:

Use room temperature ingredients: This helps the ingredients blend together more easily and results in a smoother, more even cake.
Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can result in a tough, dense cake. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
Bake the cake in a preheated oven: This helps the cake rise evenly and prevents it from sinking in the middle.
Don't open the oven door during baking: Opening the oven door can cause the cake to fall.
Let the cake cool completely before frosting it: This helps the frosting set properly.

Conclusion:

Sponge cake is a light, airy cake that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be customized with different flavors and fillings. Follow these tips to make the perfect sponge cake every time.
