Basic Sponge Cake

 
 
I baked this cake for few times and really delighted with the cake texture: soft, light & spongy. Thanks Sonia for the recipe :)
 
 


Ingredients:
4 Egg yolks (large)
20 gr Caster sugar
50 gr Oil
60 gr Milk
1/2 tsp Vanilla extract
90 gr Cake flour

4 Egg white (large)
1/4 tsp Cream of tartar
60 gr Caster sugar

Method:
- Preheat oven to 160C **
- Lightly whisk egg yolk with sugar.
- Add in corn oil and milk, stir to combine.
- Add in cake flour, mix well, set aside.
- Beat egg white & cream of tartar until foamy, then gradually add in sugar, beat till stiff peaks.
- Take 1/3 portion of egg white mixture and use hand whisk to mix with egg yolk mixture till light. Fold the balance of egg white mixture into egg yolk mixture, combine well.
- Pour batter into (see note ##) 7 or 8 inch pan, bake for 60 mins or until cook.

 
 
Note :
 
** Sonia baked this sponge cake at pre-heated oven at 140c for 25mins (at lower rack), then increase to 170C (at lower rack) and continue to bake for 30mins.

## Sonia suggested - don’t line with paper and don't use a non-stick pan. However, my experience, I lined the paper in the pan, the cake rise well too.


 
So, why made so many times, not even see any cake posting ..... hehehehe  .... check on my next posting :)

  2. Thanks for your shout out. Yes , you can line paper but don't use non-stick paper. I saw you bake at 160C all the way, actually I was thinking to change to this setting too.

  7. After whisking the egg whites you only need 1/3 portion of it??

    1. Hi Anon,

      We don't want to use all the stiff egg whites at one go, therefore only use 1/3 portion pour to the egg yolk mixture, stir well. After that, pour this batter mixture to the 2/3 portion of the egg whites, mix well until incorporated. Hope this will clarify the step :)

  11. Hi Naomi,

    You may use any milk. The recipe is liquid/ fresh milk. If you are using milk powder, you have to dilluted with water first, then measure 60 gr. Happy Baking!
