Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8-inch round cake pan.
Prepare Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set
aside.
Beat Eggs and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs with an electric mixer on high speed until
thick and pale, about 5 minutes. Gradually add the sugar, continuing to beat until the mixture is light
and fluffy.
Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Gently fold the sifted dry ingredients into the egg mixture in three
additions, being careful not to deflate the batter.
Add Milk and Butter: In a small bowl, combine the milk and melted butter. Add the vanilla extract.
Gradually fold the milk mixture into the batter until just combined.
Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan. Tap the pan gently on the counter to remove any
air bubbles. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the
center comes out clean.
Cool and Serve: Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to
cool completely. Serve the sponge cake as is or with your favorite toppings.
Enjoy your homemade sponge cake!
