Homemade Sponge Cake Recipe

This recipe is so easy, and the cake is SUPER fluffy and soft. It is also plain, which makes it like a white canvas, so you can decorate it as you wish.

I love making this recipe as a base in three different pans instead of a big one and then splitting it (I found that much easier).

Ingredients

• All-purpose flour, sifted
• Eggs, at room temperature
• Granulated sugar
• Baking powder, use good quality baking powder.

How to Make The Recipe

One: Preheat the oven to 180C / 350F and line a 3x18 cm cake tins with parchment paper so the cakes don't get stuck in the tin.

Tip: Using 3 cake tins bigger than 18cm could make the cake so thin. However, you may use 2x20 cm cake tins or just one 22cm cake tin.

Two: Crack the eggs in a bowl, then whisking them with the electric whisk well until light and fluffy.

Three: Add sugar, whisk again. Then, add the sifted flour and baking powder then whisk one more time.

Tip: it is important to sift the flour before using it to achieve a fluffy texture.

Four: To have three equal size layers, use a measuring cup to divide the batter in the three baking pans.

Five: Bake for 23-25 minutes, get out of the oven and let them cool completely before taking them out of the pans.

Now you can use this cake base to make any cake you like, such as chocolate, vanilla, strawberry cake, and more.
