Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cup All-Purpose Flour
- 1 1/2 cup Sugar granulated
- 2 tsp Baking Powder
- 1/2 tsp Baking Soda
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup Butter softened, unsalted
- 4 Large Eggs room temperature
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 1/2 cup Milk whole milk recommended
Instructions
Prepare the Oven and Pan
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan. This prevents sticking and ensures easy removal.
Combine Dry Ingredients
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and baking soda. Set aside.
Cream Butter and Sugar
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Use an electric mixer for best results.
Incorporate Eggs and Vanilla
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract. Mix well after each addition.
Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
Bake the Cake
- Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
Cool and Serve
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely. Once cooled, frost and serve!
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for the Perfect Sponge Cake
- Use room temperature ingredients for optimal mixing and a lighter cake.
- Don't overmix the batter, as this can lead to a tough cake. Mix until just combined.
- Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; if it comes out clean, the cake is ready.
- Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting to prevent the frosting from melting.
