Let’s start baking!

- 1 cup (120g) Maida
- 1 cup (150g) powdered sugar

- 1/4 cup sunflower oil
- 4 large eggs room temperature
- 1 tsp vanilla essence
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt

-
Preheat Your Oven: Preheat your oven to (175°C). Grease and line two 8-inch round cake pans with parchment paper.
-
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder,baking soda and salt. Set aside.
-
Cream Egg and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs and sugar together using an electric mixer on high speed until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.

-
Combine Dry and Wet Ingredients: Add the dry ingredients to the egg mixture in three parts, alternating with the milk. Start and end with the dry ingredients. Fold just until combined, being careful not to overmix.

Tips for the Perfect Sponge Cake:
- Room Temperature Ingredients: Ensure your eggs and milk are at room temperature. This helps create a smoother batter and a more even bake.
- Don’t Overmix: Overmixing the batter can result in a dense cake. Fold just until the ingredients are combined.
- Proper Measurement: Measure your flour and powders correctly by spooning it into the measuring cup and leveling it off with a knife. Too much flour can make the cake dry.
Variations:
- Lemon Sponge: Add 1 tablespoon of lemon zest to the batter for a zesty twist.
- Chocolate Sponge: Replace 1/4 cup of flour with 1/4 cup of cocoa powder for a chocolate version.
- Layered Cake: This sponge cake is perfect for layering with your favorite fillings and frostings, such as whipped cream and fresh berries or classic buttercream.
Serving Suggestions:
- Simple and Sweet: Dust with powdered sugar and serve with a cup of tea.
- Frosted: Frost with your favorite icing or buttercream.
- Fruit Topped: Top with fresh fruit and a dollop of whipped cream for a light dessert.
