Certainly! Here’s a simple recipe for a classic vanilla sponge cake, perfect for a delightful afternoon treat:
INGREDIENTS :
- 1 and 3/4 cups (220g) all-purpose flour
- 1 and 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
- 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs, at room temperature
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup (120ml) whole milk
INSTRUCTIONS :
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease and flour an 8-inch (20cm) round cake pan, or line it with parchment paper for easier removal.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, using an electric mixer or a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then, mix in the vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
- Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and spread it evenly.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
- Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer the cake to a wire rack to cool completely.
