Easy Vanilla Sponge

Back to basics today with my quick Easy Vanilla Sponge recipe! I wanted to share one of my very basic cake recipes with you as it’s always important to have some classic recipes that you can use as a stepping off point for making ever more delicious and extravagant creations!

This sponge recipe is super simple to follow but it does have a special twist which makes it one of my favorites. I only use egg yolks, and not the egg whites (helpful hint – if you’re making meringues, this is a great recipe to use up the yolks!). This produces a beautiful gold cake, yellow and rich, with a slightly denser crumb than whole egg recipes.
Flavored simply with vanilla, it’s delicious on its own but can be adapted and decorated to make it your own!

To make Easy Vanilla Sponge, you will need the following ingredients:

So, how to make Easy Vanilla Sponge?

Steps to make Easy Vanilla Sponge

1	Heat the oven and prepare baking tins	1
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly grease 2 small round cake tins and dust with flour.
2	Sift the flour	1
Sift the flour, baking powder and salt together into a bowl.
3	Beat the butter and sugar	3
In a separate bowl, beat the butter and sugar together.
4	Add the eggs and vanilla	3
Pour in the egg yolks and vanilla extract and cream together until light and fluffy.
5	Add the milk and flour	2
Add a third of the flour mixture to the egg mixture and beat to combine. Stir in half the milk, followed by another third of the flour, mixing well after each addition and then repeat.
6	Prepare the cakes for baking	1
Divide the batter between the prepared pans.
7	Bake the cakes	25
Bake for 25-30 minutes. To test if the cakes are ready, insert a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean, the cake is baked through.
