Ingredients:
- 6 large eggs
- 200g (1 cup) caster sugar (granulated sugar)
- 200g (1⅔ cups) plain flour (all-purpose flour)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 pinch of salt
How to prepare Irresistible Sponge Cake:
- Start by separating the yolks from the egg whites. Put the yolks in one bowl and the egg whites in another. Add the sugar to the yolks and beat vigorously until light and fluffy. Add the vanillin and mix well.
- Take the egg whites and add a pinch of salt. With the help of an electric whisk or a planetary mixer, whip the egg whites until soft and fluffy. They will be ready when they form soft peaks.
- Combine the beaten egg whites with the yolk, sugar and vanillin mixture. Gradually add the sifted flour, stirring gently from the bottom to the top with a spatula. Be sure to incorporate the ingredients without disassembling the egg whites.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and level it with a spatula. Bake in the preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) and bake for about 35 to 40 minutes or until the surface is golden brown and the texture firm.
- Once baked, take the sponge cake out of the oven and let it cool completely in the pan. After that, gently unmold the cake and transfer it to a serving plate. You can decorate it with powdered sugar or fill with the cream of your choice.
