How to Make Milk Sponge Cake

This is one of the lightest and tastiest cakes I’ve ever made. It’s soft and slightly sweet. The key is beating the eggs for about 10 minutes to make it airy. You don’t need cooking classes or costly meal delivery services to prepare something delicious at home. With a bit of planning and our detailed meal prep guide, you can create amazing dishes with confidence and ease.

Recipe Ingredients:

4 eggs
2-1/4 tsp baking powder
2 cups (400 grams/14.1Oz) of sugar
2-1/4 cups (270 grams/ 9.5Oz) all-purpose flour
1 tsp vanilla extract
1-1/4 cups fat-free milk
10 tbsp butter cubed

Instructions:

First, preheat the oven to 356 °F (180 °C).

Then, in the large bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the wire whip attachment, beat the eggs on high speed for about 5 minutes, or until the mixture becomes thick, doubles in volume, and turns a pale yellow color.

Next, gradually add the sugar while continuing to beat. Continue mixing for 2 to 3 more minutes, or until the mixture is light and fluffy.
After that, add the vanilla extract and beat briefly to combine.

In a separate small bowl, combine the flour with the baking powder.
Then, slowly add this dry mixture to the batter while beating on low speed, just until smooth and fully incorporated.

Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, heat the milk together with the butter over low heat until the butter is fully melted, and the mixture is hot, but not boiling.
After that, gradually pour the warm milk and butter mixture into the batter, mixing on low speed until everything is just combined—do not overmix.

Next, pour the batter into a greased 10-inch springform pan and spread it evenly.

Then, place the pan in the oven and bake at 356 °F (180 °C) for 35 to 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.

Finally, remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool completely before slicing and serving.
