The sponge cake is a delicious dessert and is very easy to make. What you need to make a sponge cake is a few simple ingredients, a baking tray and an oven.

Resources

• 100gr (3/4 cup) all-purpose flour
• 100gr (1/2 cup) baking sugar
• 100gr (1/2 cup) oil
• 3 eggs, optional
• 2 tablespoons cocoa powder (if you want to make a chocolate cake)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 cup milk

Steps

1. 

   Preheat oven to 185 ° C.

2. 

   
   
   Sift the flour and baking soda into a bowl.

3. 

   Add cocoa powder and set the flour mixture aside (if you want to make chocolate cake).

4. 

   
   
   Beat eggs.

5. 

   Add sugar to eggs and beat until smooth.

6. 

   
   
   Add oil and then beat the smooth mixture again.

7. 

   Add vanilla extract, if you want.

8. 

   Add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients and stir gently (do not use a whisk to mix the dough). Then you add milk (sometimes you need to increase or decrease the amount of milk). Milk provides moisture so that the cake does not become too hard.

9. 

   Set the dough mixture aside.

10. 

    Prepare a square or round cake mold and place the stencils in the mold.
    • If you don't have stencils, you can protect the mold and make it with butter or a nonstick spray and sprinkle with flour.

11. 

    Pour the flour mixture into the mold.

12. 

    Bake the cake for about 1 hour.

13. 

    When you're done, try stabbing a toothpick into the center of the cake. If the toothpick is clean when pulled, the cake is done. If not, you will cook for a few more minutes.

14. 

    After the baking process is complete, let the cake sit in the oven for about 2-4 minutes.

15. 

    Finally take out the cake and enjoy. advertisement
