Fluffy Vanilla Sponge Cake

Fluffy Vanilla Sponge Cake

📝 Ingredients

• 3 large eggs (room temperature)
• 150 g sugar (¾ cup)
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 120 ml milk (½ cup)
• 100 ml vegetable oil (⅓ cup)
• 220 g all-purpose flour (about 1¾ cups)
• 10 g baking powder (2 tsp)
• Pinch of salt

👩‍🍳 Instructions

Preheat oven to 170°C (340°F). Grease and flour a round cake pan (20–22 cm).

In a bowl, beat eggs and sugar until pale, thick, and fluffy (about 4–5 minutes).

Add vanilla, then slowly mix in oil and milk.

Sift together flour, baking powder, and salt.

Gently fold dry ingredients into the batter using a spatula (do not overmix).

Pour batter into the pan and tap lightly to remove air bubbles.

Bake for 35–40 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.

Let cool 10 minutes, then remove from pan and cool completely.

🌟 Tips for Extra Fluffiness

Eggs must be room temperature

Beat eggs and sugar very well (this is key!)

Do not open the oven during the first 25 minutes
