Equipment

  • hand mixer
  • whisk
  • spatula
  • cake tin

Ingredients

  • 5 tbsp butter unsalted
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 3 tbsp sugar
  • 1/4 cup maida
  • 4 eggs yolk and egg whites separated
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • a pinch salt
  • 1/4 cup sugar

Instructions

  • Take butter in a pan. Add milk to the butter and melt the butter.
  • Add 3 tbsp sugar and heat it until you mix it properly in the milk. Transfer this mixture to a glass bowl.
  • Sieve and add maida to the milk and butter mixture. Mix it well using a whisk.
  • Add egg yolks, vanilla extract and mix them properly in the batter.
  • Now take the egg whites and add a pinch of salt to it. Beat it using a hand mixer.
  • Then slowly start adding ¼ cup sugar to the egg whites in batches. Beat the mixture until you see stiff peaks.
  • Mix the prepared cake batter and the egg whites mixture. Fold the ingredients slowly and gently using a spatula. Make sure not to over mix the batter.
  • Scrape the sides of the bowl with the spatula so that everything is mixed properly.
  • Line a cake tin with parchment paper and pour the batter into the cake tin. Give the cake tin a light tap to get rid of air bubbles.
  • Place the cake tin on a grill and mix the cake batter a little using a skewer.
  • Fill the base with hot water and bake the cake for 75 to 80 minutes at 150oC/302oF.
  • Take out the cake from the oven and let it cool down.
  • Scrape the sides using a knife and gently take out the cake from the tin.  
  • Slice the cake into bite-sized pieces and so your soft sponge cake is ready. Serve and enjoy!
