How to make Cake Recipe / Classic Vanilla Sponge Cake

on


 

  • 2 1/2 cups (310g) all-purpose flour

  • 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

  • 1 cup (225g) unsalted butter, softened

  • 2 cups (400g) granulated sugar

  • 4 large eggs

  • 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract

  • 1 cup (240ml) whole milk

Instructions:

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.

  2. Prepare Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

  3. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large bowl, beat the butter and sugar with a hand or stand mixer until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).

  4. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs, one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.

  5. Combine Wet and Dry: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix just until combined.

  6. Bake: Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

  7. Cool: Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before frosting.
