BASIC VANILLA SPONGE CAKE

INGREDIENTS:

Sugar Powder - 1 cup
Butter - 200 grams (Unsalted)
Eggs - 3
All Purpose Flour - 1 cup
Baking Powder - 1 tsp
Vanilla Essence - 1/2 tsp
Water / Milk - 2 tbsp

METHOD:
1. Add 1 cup sugar powder, 200 gms unsalted butter to a bowl and mix it well.

2. Add 3 eggs and mix it in between before adding each egg.

3. Add 1 cup all purpose flour (maida), 1 tsp baking powder and blend it well. Now add 1/2 tsp vanilla essence and 2 tbsp water/milk and blend it well.

4. Grease a cake mould with butter or ghee and sprinkle some flour over it. Pour the batter into it. Spread the batter evenly.

5. Pre-Heat the oven at 200 C for 20 minutes.

6. Bake it for 35 Minutes at 180 C.

WHEN IT FAILS?
Don't use oil, ghee or melted butter in cakes as a substitute to butter. Instead of that please use unsalted butter or margarine. Oil and butter or both fats but they don't work in the same way while baking.

Instead of using crystal sugar directly, it's better to use sugar powder as it leads to mix quickly with other ingredients while blending.

Don't use baking powder excessively as it may lead the cake rising uncontrollably and tastes terrible. If you add excess baking powder accidentally mix the other ingredients according to the consistency of batter.

Measure ingredients accurately. If you use too much flour or sugar you can have a bigger negative effect on the finished product.

Please use all the ingredients at room temperature.

Take a look at temperature units before baking because some recipes mentioned in Celsius and some in Fahrenheit.

Check the cake at the end of the baking with a tooth pick by inserting it into cake. If your fingers feel moisture while you touch, it's need to bake again for some more time. If your cake looks light brown color after baking and you want dark brown color, broil it for 2 minutes at 180 C.
