How to Make Easy Sponge Cake

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease your cake pans with butter.
  • Cream the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition, then stir in the pure vanilla extract.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and kosher salt.
  • Gradually add the dry mixture into the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk, mixing until just combined.
  • Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pans, smoothing out the tops.
  • Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the tops are lightly golden and a toothpick comes out clean.
  • Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes

Optional: Dust with powdered sugar before serving for an elegant touch. Room temperature ingredients create a lighter cake.
