Sponge Cake Recipe:

Ingredients:

• 1 cup all-purpose flour (120g)

• 1 cup sugar (200g)

• 4 large eggs

• 1/2 cup butter (115g), melted

• 1 tsp vanilla extract

• 1/2 tsp baking powder

• 1/4 tsp salt

• 1/4 cup milk (optional, for moistness)

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8-inch round cake pan.

2. Prepare the batter:

   • In a large bowl, whisk the eggs and sugar together until light and fluffy (around 5 minutes with a hand mixer).

   • Sift the flour, baking powder, and salt together. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the egg-sugar mixture using a spatula or a low-speed mixer.

   • Add melted butter and vanilla extract to the batter. If you want a more moist texture, add the milk here as well. Mix gently.

3. Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and spread it evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes or until the top is golden brown, and a toothpick comes out clean.

4. Cool the cake: Once the cake is baked, let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, remove it from the pan and cool completely on a wire rack.
