Whether you’re looking for a showstopping dessert or something special for a festive occasion, this light and airy sponge cake is sure to hit the spot. This recipe is a classic sponge and will work perfectly for a 12-inch rectangle tin.
Ingredients
- 150g self-raising flour
- 150g caster sugar
- 150g butter, softened
- 3 large eggs, lightly beaten
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
Instructions
Start by preheating the oven to 160°C/325°F/Gas 3. Grease and line your 12-inch rectangle tin with baking parchment. This will help your cake to slip out of the tin once it’s cooked.
Next, sift together the self-raising flour and baking powder and set aside. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and caster sugar until light and fluffy. Gradually add the beaten eggs to the cream and sugar mixture, stirring as you go. Finally, add the sifted flour and baking powder along with the milk and vanilla extract (if using). Beat until the mixture is light and airy.
Spoon the mixture into the prepared tin and level the surface. Place in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the centre of the cake comes out clean.
Leave the cake in the tin for 10 minutes before turning it out onto a wire rack to cool completely. Once cool, the sponge can be served as it is, or you can fill and frost it with your favourite icing.
