vanilla sponge cake:

Here’s a simple and quick recipe for a classic vanilla sponge cake:

Ingredients:

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1/3 cup vegetable oil or melted butter
• 2 eggs
• 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• A pinch of salt

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Mix well.
3. In another bowl, beat the eggs lightly. Then add the milk, vegetable oil or melted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
4. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until the batter is smooth and well incorporated. Be careful not to overmix.
5. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and spread it evenly.
6. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
7. Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
8. Once cooled, you can frost or decorate the cake as desired. Enjoy your quick and easy homemade cake!
