Steps:
- Preheat Oven to 350˚F. Line bottoms of two 9″ cake pans with parchment paper (do not grease the sides).
- In the bowl of an electric stand mixer fitted with whisk attachment (this is the one I have), beat 6 large eggs for 1 minute on high speed. With the mixer on, gradually add 1 cup sugar and continue beating 8-10 minutes until thick and fluffy.
- Whisk together 1 cup flour and 1/2 tsp baking powder then sift this mixture into fluffy egg mixture one third at a time. Fold with a spatula with each addition just until incorporated. Scrape spatula from the bottom to catch any pockets of flour and stop mixing when no streaks of flour remain. Do not over-mix or you will deflate the batter.
- Divide evenly between prepared cake pans (it helps if you have a kitchen scale to weight the pans). Bake at 350˚F for 23-28 minutes (my oven took 25 min), or until top is golden brown. Remove from pan by sliding a thin spatula (here's the one I love for cakes) around the edges then transfer to a wire rack and remove parchment backing. Cool cakes to room temperature then slice layers equally in half with a serrated knife.
EASY STEAMED SPONGE CAKE
I grew up on this. I usually make 2 batches so it lasts. Great warm or cold. I don't have a formal steamer, so I just use my wok with a small support in the middle to hold up the cake pan.

Tips:
- Eggs should be at room temperature: This will help them to emulsify better with the butter and sugar, resulting in a lighter, fluffier cake.
- Don't overbeat the eggs and sugar: Overbeating can make the cake tough.
- Use a light touch when folding in the flour: Overmixing can result in a dense, chewy cake.
- Steaming the cake is a gentle cooking method that results in a moist, tender cake.
- Use a bamboo skewer to check if the cake is done: Insert the skewer into the center of the cake; if it comes out clean, the cake is done.

This easy steamed sponge cake is a delicious and versatile treat that can be enjoyed for breakfast, dessert, or as a snack.
