The Best Vanilla Sponge Cake Recipe
Ingredients
This classic vanilla sponge cake is the perfect recipe for any occasion. To make this delicious cake, you will need the following ingredients:
- 2 and 1/4 cups (280g) all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup (120ml) canola oil
- 1 cup (240ml) full-fat milk
- 1/2 cup (120ml) freshly squeezed orange juice
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
Instructions
To begin, preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C) and lightly grease two 8-inch (20cm) round cake pans. Place a round of parchment paper in the bottom of each pan to prevent the cakes from sticking.
In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the oil, milk, orange juice, vanilla extract, and sugar. Add the eggs and whisk until combined.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and whisk until just combined. Do not overmix or the cake will be dense and dry.
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans and bake for 28-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean.
Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes before removing them to a wire rack to cool completely.
When the cakes are completely cool, you can frost them with your favorite frosting and serve.
