- 5 large eggs, room temperature
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1 cup all purpose flour
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 °F.
- In a stand mixer, beat 5 eggs (no need to separate them) and sugar on low speed and then on medium-high speed for about 10 minutes or until it's three times in volume.
- Using a spatula, fold in flour by thirds; be very gentle with the batter so you don't over mix it and lose the fluffiness.
- Add cake batter to an oiled baking pan. Springform baking pan works amazing, size 9-12 inches is perfect.
- Bake at 350F for 30 minutes and check it using a wooden toothpick. If the cake is ready, the toothpick will come out clean.
Notes
- Notes:
- This recipe doesn't need baking soda or baking powder. The leavening agent is the air that is beat into the batter.
- The sponge cake may have a slight eggy taste, but if you beat long enough (at least 10 minutes) this shouldn't happen.
- The sponge is best used as a base for making other cakes where you would add frosting, fillings, etc. If you prefer, you can add some vanilla extract in step 2.
