Ingredients for Easy Sponge Cake

  • Large eggs: 3

  • Sugar: ½ cup

  • Vanilla: A pinch

  • Boiling water: 4 tablespoons

  • Flour: 1 cup

  • Baking powder: Scant 1 teaspoon

Instructions

1. Prepare the Batter

  • Beat the eggs, sugar, and vanilla at high speed using a mixer for 5 minutes until the mixture becomes pale and creamy.

  • While mixing, gradually add the boiling water midway through the 5-minute beating process.

2. Incorporate the Dry Ingredients

  • Sift the flour and baking powder together three times.

  • Gradually add the flour mixture to the egg mixture in four stages, sifting a portion over the batter each time.

  • Gently fold the flour into the batter using a spatula or spoon in a circular motion to keep the batter airy and smooth.

3. Prepare the Baking Pan

  • Line the bottom of the pan with parchment paper and lightly grease it with a small amount of oil. Do not grease the sides of the pan.

  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan and tap it a few times on the countertop to remove air bubbles.

  • Place the pan in the oven and bake for 35–45 minutes.

  • After 35 minutes, insert a wooden skewer or knife into the cake. If it comes out clean, the cake is fully baked.
