Homemade sponge cake, very spongy and sweet homemade recipe

The homemade sponge cake is the ideal sponge cake if you are looking for one that leaves the house with a irresistible aroma of freshly baked cake. It is so versatile that we can flavor it with whatever we like best. On this occasion, we have used vanilla paste, but with lemon zest or cinnamon it is delicious.

If you are going to prepare a cake with this sponge cake as a base, I recommend you put a little syrup on it, since since it does not have oil or butter among its ingredients, it is a little drier for this type of preparation than other options that do contain fats. its ingredients.

This sponge cake lasts perfectly spongy for 4-5 days in an airtight container, so it is a perfect option to prepare it and have a delicious breakfast for several days.

How to make homemade sponge cake

We beat 4 M eggs, 120 grams of white sugar, 1 teaspoon of salt and 1 teaspoon of vanilla paste until the mixture doubles in volume. We sift 120 grams of wheat flour and 10 grams of chemical yeast.

We integrate the flour into the mixture with enveloping movements.

Line the base of the mold and grease with release spray or a little butter. Preheat the oven to 180ºC with heat up and down.

Pour the dough into the mold and smooth the surface if necessary. Bake for 40 minutes, before removing from the oven we make sure that it is perfectly cooked by sticking a toothpick in the center: if it comes out clean it will be ready.

Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool for 15 minutes on a wire rack. Next, we unmold it and let it cool completely.
