Strawberry Sponge Cake

I have always found sponge cakes difficult to make until I made this one. Followed this super easy peasy recipe with less ingredients and my cake turned out so fresh, light and fluffy. I am always nervous when I bake anything new because I have had some bad experiences in the past, lol. But little did I expect that this recipe would be a hit. So why not to share with you all?!

Ingredients:
Sponge cake:
Eggs (room temperature) 6 large or 7 small
Sugar 1 cup
Flour 1 cup
Baking powder 1/2 tsp
Vanilla essence 1.5 tsp

Sauce:
Strawberries
Sugar (as required)

Frosting:
Whipped cream (Foster Clarks or any available one)

Directions:

• Beat the eggs with an electric mixer on high speed for 1 minute.
• With the mixer on, gradually add the sugar and now beat for 8 mins until the mixture becomes thick and fluffy.

• Fold in the sifted baking powder and flour into the batter gently with the help of spatula and make sure to scrap the bottom. DO NOT over mix.

Time to frost the cake.

Cut the cake into equal haves. My husband did that for me as I felt too nervous. :P

Look at that perfect brown colour. <3

Spread the strawberry sauce. Let it absorb and then spread the whipped cream.

                  

Cover with the second layer. Decorate the cake the way you want to.
