Simple Vanilla Sponge Cake Recipe
Light, fluffy sponge cake infused with vanilla essence, a timeless dessert for any occasion.
Serves
A 20cm two-layer cake
Recipe Ingredients
- ¾ cup + 2 tablespoons (200g) unsalted SPAR butter
- 1 cup (200g) SPAR white sugar
- 3 large SPAR eggs
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cups (195g) SPAR cake wheat flour
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- A hearty pinch of salt
- ¼ cup SPAR full-cream milk
Recipe Method
- Prepare two 20 cm round cake pans by lining and greasing them.
- Preheat your oven to 175°C.
- In a mixing bowl, beat the butter and sugar together until it becomes light in colour and fluffy in texture, about 5 minutes.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- Mix in the vanilla extract.
- Gently incorporate 1-2 tablespoons of flour, continue to beat for 2 minutes. Then, fold in the remaining flour, baking powder, salt, and milk just until combined.
- Evenly divide the batter between the two prepared pans, smoothing the tops.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the cakes are golden brown and a tester inserted into the centre comes out clean.
Hints & Tips
Fill the layers with your choice of sweetened whipped cream, buttercream, fruit preserves, lemon curd, or fresh fruit.
