Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/4 cup milk
Preparation Steps
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a round cake pan or line it with parchment paper.
- Beat the eggs and sugar: In a mixing bowl, whisk the eggs and sugar together until the mixture is light and fluffy (about 5-7 minutes). This will help create that airy texture for the sponge.
- Add the dry ingredients: Sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the egg mixture, taking care not to deflate the batter.
- Incorporate the wet ingredients: Add the melted butter, milk, and vanilla extract to the mixture. Gently fold them in until the batter is smooth and well combined.
- Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool: Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
