Vanilla Sponge Cake Recipe By Tasty

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 170°C (350°F).
• Cream together sugar and butter until smooth and airy. Then, add vanilla and 1 egg and beat well. Once mixed, add remaining eggs and beat until combined and smooth.
• Add milk and mix. Combine, then sift in 100g flour and fold in.
• Once combined, fold in remaining flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix well.
• Grease 2 small cake tins with oil or butter and fill with batter.
• Bake for 15 minutes or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean.
• Cool on a wire rack.
• Assemble and decorate as desired. Serve.

Steps:

• In a bowl sift the flour cornstarch, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
• In another bowl, add the butter, milk, and vanilla. Whisk until well-combined. Cover with a kitchen towel and set aside.
• In two large bowls, separate 3 eggs into yolks and whites. Crack the last 2 whole eggs in the bowl with the egg yolks.
• Pour 6 tablespoons of sugar into the egg yolk bowl. Mix on high until the batter is thick and pale yellow, about 5 minutes.
• Beat the egg whites on high until frothy, then gradually add the 6 tablespoons of sugar. Continue beating until soft peaks form.
• Gently fold in the egg yolk mixture into the egg whites.
• Add the flour mixture, continue folding until the flour is mixed in. Create a well in the bowl, pour in the butter mixture. Fold all of the ingredients until the batter is smooth and silky.
• Preheat oven to 350˚F (180˚C).
• Pour half of the batter into a smaller bowl. Sift the cocoa powder over the batter. Fold in until the cocoa powder is fully incorporated.
• In a greased parchment paper-lined 8-inch (20 cm) cake pan, spoon in a scoop of the vanilla batter in the center of the pan.
• Spoon in a scoop of the chocolate batter over the vanilla in the center.
• Repeat until you have poured about 6 to 8 layers, keeping in mind you will be spooning in a little less batter each layer.
• Using a chopstick or skewer, gently draw a line from the edge of the pan to the center. Repeat until you have made 8 lines. Pour a little chocolate dot in the center.
• Bake for 30 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
• Use a knife or spatula to gently release the cake from the edge of the pan. Cover the cake with a greased plate. Flip the cake on to the plate then transfer to a wire rack to cool. Let cool for about 20 minutes before slicing.
• For the strawberry sauce, heat a saucepan over medium heat. Add the strawberries and sugar, and stir until bubbling. Remove from heat.
• Serve with strawberry sauce and whipped cream!
• Enjoy!
