Hi friends, welcome back to my blog. Today I am sharing the most easiest and the simplest sponge cake recipe that you would have ever tried. This Vanilla sponge cake comes out soft and delicious and my family simply loved it. This is one of the best egg based sponge cakes that I have ever baked at home. And this Sponge cake does not need butter and uses just 7 ingredients.
Yes friends, you read it right! This recipe uses only 7 ingredients that are easily available in most of our kitchens. If you were looking for a recipe of How to make a simple and delicious Vanilla Sponge cake at home then you have come to the right place.
This is an oil based cake recipe and the batter gets ready in very little time. You can serve this sponge cake as a Tea cake with tea or coffee in the evenings or frost it with butter cream, chocolate or whipped cream or any other frosting of your choice.
Also you can increase the proportion of ingredients to make a layer cake as well. Since this is a basic sponge cake recipe, you can also add tutti fruiti, dry fruits, nuts or chocolate chips in the batter for added taste.
I have used normal granulated sugar in the recipe. But you can also powder the sugar in a mixer and add to the eggs. The vanilla essence that I have used is colorless so I got a beautiful white color sponge cake. Even if you use normal brown color vanilla essence the cake will come out lovely and delicious. Always remember that the eggs have to be at room temperature before you start mixing.
Note: I have used a 180 ml measuring cup/ normal tea cup for measuring the ingredients.
