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.
