Time 1h40m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 4

½ cup margarine
½ cup white sugar
2 eggs
1 cup self-rising flour

Steps:

  • Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease an 8 inch cake pan and line with a circle of parchment paper.
  • Beat the margarine and sugar with an electric mixer in a large bowl until light and fluffy. The mixture should be noticeably lighter in color. Add the eggs one at a time, allowing each egg to blend into the margarine mixture before adding the next. Fold in the flour until only small lumps remain; pour into the prepared pan.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 30 minutes. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes before removing to cool completely on a wire rack.

Tips:

  • Eggs: Use fresh, room-temperature eggs for the best results. Cold eggs may cause the cake to not rise properly.
  • Sugar: Use a combination of granulated and caster (superfine) sugar for a fine-textured, moist cake.
  • Butter: Use unsalted butter and make sure it is softened to room temperature before creaming it with the sugar. This will help to incorporate air into the mixture, resulting in a lighter cake.
  • Flour: Use plain (all-purpose) flour for a simple sponge cake. For a more tender crumb, use cake flour.
  • Baking powder: Make sure your baking powder is fresh and active. Old baking powder may cause the cake to not rise properly.
  • Milk: Use whole milk for a richer cake. For a lighter cake, use semi-skimmed or skimmed milk.
  • Flavorings: You can add a variety of flavorings to your sponge cake, such as vanilla extract, lemon zest, or cocoa powder.
  • Baking time: Be careful not to over-bake the cake. A toothpick inserted into the center of the cake should come out clean when it is done.

Conclusion:

This simple sponge cake is a delicious and versatile cake that can be enjoyed on its own or used as a base for other desserts. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a delicious cake that is perfect for any occasion.
